Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Dolores Noyes by July 25, 2016, TTY (360) 902-2207, or (360) 902-2349.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Recreational salmon fishing rules based on North of Falcon recommendations change from year to year to reflect resource availability and to achieve conservation goals. Amendments to recreational salmon fishing rules are needed to implement the agreed-upon changes.
The purpose of the supplemental filing is to make changes to WAC 220-55-220 and 220-310-190 that are in addition to the changes in WSR 16-11-103 and include changes to WAC 220-56-195, 232-28-621 and 220-56-180. The effect of modifying WAC 232-28-621 and 220-56-180 will be to repeal WAC 220-56-124.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: To protect fish species listed as endangered while supporting recreational fishing opportunity and to make changes to salmon seasons and harvest amounts pursuant to agreements and recommendations made at the North of Falcon meetings. The repeal of WAC 220-56-124 will not affect any rules, yet provide rule simplification by eliminating current redundancies.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: WDFW, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Valerie Tribble, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, (360) 902-2329; Implementation: Ron Warren, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, (360) 902-2799; and Enforcement: Steve Crown, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, (360) 902-2936.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rule amendments do not affect small business; i.e., there is no direct regulation of small business. The rules apply to recreational fishers.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. These rule proposals only impact recreational salmon fisheries and do not affect hydraulics.
