The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 232-12-161.

Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Other rules of the agency or of another agency govern the same activity as the rule, making the rule redundant.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: Evan Jacoby, Rules Coordinator, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The state and tribes have replaced the monthly steelhead guide report (this rule) and the weekly report (as per U.S. v. Washington, 459 F. Supp. 1020, 1088) with alternate harvest and escapement data collection, obviating the need for these reports.
