EMERGENCY RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 05-38 -- Filed March 4, 2005, 2:52 p.m. , effective March 4, 2005 ]


     

     Purpose: Amend personal use rules.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-56-330.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 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: Crab in Marine Area 13 still meet the hardshell criteria to support an extension of the recreational fishery. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted at Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's Own Initiative: New 1, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Clarify, Streamline, or Reform Agency Procedures: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Date Adopted: March 4, 2005.
