[Order 98-193--Filed September 22, 1998, 3:58 p.m., effective October 1, 1998, 12:01 a.m.]
Date of Adoption: September 22, 1998.
Purpose: Personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-56-19000V; and amending WAC 220-56-190.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 75.08.080.
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: Harvestable numbers of salmon are predicted to return in fall 1998. This regulation is consistent with management criteria established during the preseason planning. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
