EMERGENCY RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 24-258—Filed November 7, 2024, 8:52 a.m., effective November 7, 2024, 8:52 a.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: On July 10, 2024, the Washington department of fish and wildlife (department) adopted a series of emergency rules under WSR 24-15-031 to increase the total number of special hunt permits allowed under WAC 220-415-030, 220-415-060, 220-415-070, 220-415-120, and 220-415-130 by 738 for the 2024-25 hunting season in order to align with the number of special hunt permits that were drawn in error through the department's electronic licensing system. This previous emergency rule filing also sought to reduce the mountain goat raffle permit authorized under WAC 220-412-070 to zero for the 2024-25 hunting season to help mitigate this issue. The emergency rules adopted under WSR 24-15-031 expire on November 7, 2024. The department is adopting and refiling the same set of emergency rules to continue to cover special hunt permits through the 2024-25 hunting season.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-412-070, 220-415-030, 220-415-060, 220-415-070, 220-415-120, and 220-415-130.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 77.04.055, and 77.12.047.
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: The department adopted these emergency rules based on an error earlier this year with the department's drawing system that incorrectly awarded 738 additional special hunt permits that were authorized under WAC 220-415-030, 220-415-060, 220-415-070, 220-415-120, and 220-415-130 for the 2024-25 hunting season. To mitigate this error, the department had to add the incorrectly awarded 738 permits among these foregoing regulations. The department also needed to remove the 2024-25 hunting season mountain goat raffle permit, authorized in WAC 220-412-070, to accommodate permit level changes in WAC 220-415-130 Mountain goat seasons, permit quotas, and areas. When the first set of emergency rules were adopted and filed on July 10, there was insufficient time to engage in permanent rule making. The issuance of these additional permits was not anticipated to have a population level impact on current deer, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and moose populations. By adopting and refiling this emergency rule, the department seeks to accommodate a large number of hunters who had drawn in error for these limited hunting opportunities that had been planned since June 12, 2024, when the results of the draw were publicly announced. These special hunt permits remain active through the 2024-25 hunting season. The department began permanent rule making on this topic under WSR 24-21-094, filed on October 17, 2024.
Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
