WSR 15-06-023 PERMANENT RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 15-035—Filed February 24, 2015, 4:39 p.m., effective March 27, 2015] Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: This rule proposal repeals WAC 220-52-01904 as it was rendered unnecessary after January 1, 2015.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: WAC 220-52-01904 was adopted to create an on-boarding process for Washington department of fish and wildlife (WDFW) to issue 2015 geoduck diver licenses at the end of 2014 due to recent changes to state law limiting the number of geoduck diver licenses WDFW may issue to seventy-seven beginning January 1, 2015. When WAC 220-52-01904 was adopted, WAC 220-52-01905 Commercial geoduck harvest—Geoduck diver license application and issuance process, was also adopted. WAC 220-52-01905 details the license issuance process WDFW will use after January 1, 2015, and will go into effect that date. For these reasons, WAC 220-52-01904 will no longer [be] necessary and should be repealed after January 1, 2015.
