Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.

Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-220-00100A.
Other Authority: None.
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: WDFW is repealing the suspension of the sale and issuance of nonresident recreational fishing licenses with the expiration of the Governor's "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order. With the governor's additional guidance for responsible outdoor recreation, WDFW believes that fishing opportunities to nonresident anglers can safely be offered.
