This memo serves as notice that the department of health (department) is withdrawing the Preproposal statement of inquiry CR-101, for WAC 246-928-XXX in chapter 246-928 WAC, Respiratory care practitioners, which was filed August 17, 2010, and published as WSR 10-17-099.

The department is withdrawing this CR-101 because language used in the form is outdated and too limited to serve current rule-making needs. Since WSR 10-17-099 was filed, legislation was passed that requires the department to address several issues through rule making, only one of which could be addressed by rule making pursuant to WSR 10-17-099. For the sake of efficiency, the department will rescind [withdraw] WSR 10-17-099 and complete all necessary rule making under a single new rule package.

Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Ted Dale by email at ted.dale@doh.wa.gov or by phone at 360-236-2991.
