WSR 14-20-001 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 14-259—Filed September 17, 2014, 4:27 p.m., effective September 17, 2014, 4:27 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-56-195.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 77.12.045, and 77.12.047.
Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: The #2 Red Buoy is no longer available as a physical boundary marker for a closed area in Dungeness Bay. GPS coordinates of the #2 Red Buoy are being used as the boundary marker until the buoy is reattached. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
