[Filed June 28, 2018, 2:04 p.m.]
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 220-410-010 Game management units (GMUs) boundary descriptionsRegion one and 220-415-040 Elk area descriptions.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Amendment is needed to update road names in the boundary descriptions for GMU 175, GMU 181, and Elk Area 1075.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: County officials have recently changed Back Road to Parsons Road and the boundary descriptions for GMUs 175 and 181 in WAC 220-410-010 and Elk Area 1075 in WAC 220-415-040 need to be updated to reflect that change. We are also proposing any reference to Back Rd be changed to Parsons Rd (Back Rd) because although the road signs have been changed, all maps referencing this area identify the road in question as Back Rd.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.013, 77.04.020, 77.04.055, 77.12.047, 77.12.240.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.013, 77.04.020, 77.04.055, 77.12.047, and 77.12.240.
Name of Proponent: Washington department of fish and wildlife, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Eric Gardner, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501, 360-902-2515; and Enforcement: Steve Bear, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501, 360-902-2373.
This notice meets the following criteria to use the expedited adoption process for these rules:
Corrects typographical errors, make address or name changes, or clarify language of a rule without changing its effect.
Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: Based on the rational of RCW 34.05.353 (1)(c), the department believes that an expedited rule-making process is appropriate because the proposed amendment only changes the language associated with road names used to describe unit boundaries and does not reflect an actual change in the boundaries.
NOTICE
THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO Scott Bird, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, 600 Capitol Way North, phone 360-902-2403, fax 360-902-2155, email rules.coordinator@dfw.wa.gov, AND RECEIVED BY September 4, 2018.
