After careful consideration of the data and statements pertaining to the marine fuel use in Washington presented at the public hearing held on March 27, 1997, and subsequent research, I have determined that of all the taxable motor fuel sold in Washington during the study period of October 1, 1994, to September 30, 1995, the proportion which was marine fuel was 1.1390 percent. The Marine Fuel Use Study was conducted by the Office of Budget and Program Support of the Department of Licensing.

In accordance with RCW 43.99.030, this proportion will be implemented as of the next biennium after the period from which the study data was collected. This implementation date will be July 1, 1997.
