Effective Date of Rule: October 1, 2021.
Purpose: The Washington department of fish and wildlife (WDFW) is repealing the wildfire prevention on department lands, which went into effect on June 25, 2021, WSR 21-14-006.

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 wildfire prevention on department land emergency rule. Cooler, damp weather conditions have reduced the risk of wildfire eliminating the emergency need to restrict hours and activities to prevent new and multiple wildfires.
