WSR 14-22-069 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 14-319—Filed October 31, 2014, 11:01 a.m., effective November 1, 2014] Effective Date of Rule: November 1, 2014.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-310-18000J; and amending WAC 220-310-180.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, and 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: This emergency rule is needed to provide additional protection for the late wild coho in the Naselle River by reducing the retention limit to no more than two. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
