FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 16-03—Filed January 6, 2016, 4:24 p.m., effective January 6, 2016, 4:24 p.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules in Tokul Creek.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-19000U and 220-310-19000V; and amending WAC 220-310-190.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 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: An emergency rule is needed to correct a clerical error in filing WSR 16-01-092. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
