PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

[Filed August 26, 2014, 12:00 p.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 392-349-015 Remote and necessary small school plants—Review committee.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28A.150.290(1).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The current language in WAC 392-349-015 states: "The superintendent of public instruction shall provide to the fiscal committees of the legislature in January of odd numbered years a list of remote and necessary small school plants."

This language should be removed as the information is immediately and readily available.

Process for Developing New Rule: Early solicitation of public comments and recommendations respecting new, amended, or repealed rules, and consideration of the comments and recommendations in the course of drafting rules.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Paul Stone, Supervisor SD/ESD Accounting, Old Capitol Building, P.O. Box 47200, Olympia, WA 98504-7200, (360) 725-6303.
