Hearing Location(s): Civic Center, 411 South Balsam Street, Moses Lake, WA 98837, on March 20-21, 2015, at 8:00 a.m.

Date of Intended Adoption: On or after April 9, 2015.

Submit Written Comments to: Wildlife Program Commission Meeting Public Comments, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501, e-mail wildthing@dfw.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2162, by February 24, 2015.

Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Tami Lininger by March 1, 2015, TTY (800) 833-6388 or (360) 902-2267.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: WAC 232-12-047, the purpose of these proposals are five-fold. They remove language pertaining to archery and crossbow requirements that were in a modern firearm WAC. They consolidate the archery requirements in the existing archery requirements WAC. They remove crossbow requirements from the archery and modern firearm WAC and consolidate those requirements in a new crossbow requirement WAC. They allow the hunting of big game and turkeys with a crossbow. They remove the mechanical broadhead restriction from the archery requirement WAC.

WAC 232-12-052, the purpose of these proposals are five-fold. They remove language pertaining to archery and crossbow requirements that were in a modern firearm WAC. They consolidate the archery requirements in the existing archery requirements WAC. They remove crossbow requirements from the archery and modern firearm WAC and consolidate those requirements in a new crossbow requirement WAC. They allow the hunting of big game and turkeys with a crossbow. They remove the mechanical broadhead restriction from the archery requirement WAC.

WAC 232-12-054, the purpose of these proposals are five-fold. They remove language pertaining to archery and crossbow requirements that were in a modern firearm WAC. They consolidate the archery requirements in the existing archery requirements WAC. They remove crossbow requirements from the archery and modern firearm WAC and consolidate those requirements in a new crossbow requirement WAC. They allow the hunting of big game and turkeys with a crossbow. They remove the mechanical broadhead restriction from the archery requirement WAC.

WAC 232-12-021, the purpose of the proposal would add Iowa to the list of states and provinces requiring additional processing of deer, elk, and moose carcasses before they can be brought into Washington. The states and provinces listed in the WAC have confirmed chronic wasting disease (CWD) in their wild, free-ranging populations of cervids.

WAC 232-28-331, the proposed changes to the GMU Boundary Descriptions Region 1 will better clarify the boundary between two GMUs which has proved to be problematic in recent history for hunters and enforcement.

WAC 232-28-335, the proposed changes to the GMU Boundary Descriptions in Region 5 are related to the new Elk Area proposed in GMU 522 which creates a new Quality elk opportunity. The boundary between GMU 522 and GMU 524 needs to be adjusted to accommodate the addition of the new Elk Area.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: WAC 232-12-047, most of the proposal language is rule clarification and consolidation. In addition, allowing crossbows for big game and turkey and allowing mechanical broadheads are not seen by the department as a natural resource issue but rather an equipment selection choice by hunters. Restricting those choices doesn't seem to be necessary to sustain hunting seasons and sustain the wildlife populations in question.

WAC 232-12-0521, most of the proposal language is rule clarification and consolidation. In addition, allowing crossbows for big game and turkey and allowing mechanical broadheads are not seen by the department as a natural resource issue but rather an equipment selection choice by hunters. Restricting those choices doesn't seem to be necessary to sustain hunting seasons and sustain the wildlife populations in question.

WAC 232-12-054, most of the proposal language is rule clarification and consolidation. In addition, allowing crossbows for big game and turkey and allowing mechanical broadheads are not seen by the department as a natural resource issue but rather an equipment selection choice by hunters. Restricting those choices doesn't seem to be necessary to sustain hunting seasons and sustain the wildlife populations in question.

WAC 232-12-021, the proposal reduces the risk of CWD being imported into Washington state via carcasses of animals harvested in other states. Reducing disease risk helps in sustaining deer, elk, and moose populations and hunting opportunities in Washington.

WAC 232-28-331, the reasons for supporting the proposal are to provide opportunities to hunters, consistent with achieving management objectives and to address and prevent wildlife conflict problems using hunters. An additional reason to support the proposal is to avoid unintended confusion over GMU boundaries.

WAC 232-28-335, the reasons for supporting the proposal are to provide opportunities to hunters, consistent with achieving management objectives and to address and prevent wildlife conflict problems using hunters.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.055, 77.12.047, 77.12.150, and 77.12.240.

Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.055, 77.12.047, 77.12.150, and 77.12.240.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

Agency Comments or Recommendations, if any, as to Statutory Language, Implementation, Enforcement, and Fiscal Matters: When filing the permanent rule-making order (CR-103P), the WAC sections containing rule amendments will be consolidated into two or three Order Typing Service (OTS) documents.

Name of Proponent: Washington department of fish and wildlife, governmental.

Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Nate Pamplin, Natural Resource[s] Building, (360) 902-2515; and Enforcement: Steven Crown, Natural Resource[s] Building, (360) 902-2373.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. These rules apply to recreational hunting and do not affect small business.

A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. This proposal does not involve hydraulics.
