WSR 15-20-027 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 15-363—Filed September 25, 2015, 4:36 p.m., effective September 25, 2015, 4:36 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for the coastal crab fishery.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-56-33000T.
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: Testing by the Washington department of health show that crab in this area are now safe for human consumption. The emergency rule currently in place closing this fishery is no longer needed and should, therefore, be repealed.
