(1) Under RCW 34.05.335, a proposed rule may be withdrawn any time before adoption. The agency must provide notice of withdrawal to the office of the code reviser by a letter or memorandum signed by the person who signed the original notice, or by that person's designee.

(2) The joint administrative rules review committee must receive a copy of the notice of withdrawal. If the agency provides an electronic copy of the notice of withdrawal to the office of the code reviser, then the office of the code reviser must forward an electronic copy of the notice of withdrawal to the joint administrative rules review committee. However, if the agency provides a hard copy of the notice of withdrawal to the office of the code reviser, then the agency must also submit three hard copies of the notice of withdrawal to the joint administrative rules review committee.
