Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: State parks' staff has reviewed the commission rules in consideration of changes to current business practices. The agency has proposed changes to selected sections of chapters 352-48 and 352-56 WAC to consider changes pertaining to the snowmobile and nonmotorized winter recreation program's funding applications process and due dates. These changes will provide a more definitive process for submitting funding requests to the winter recreation program by changing the due date from received by June 1 each year, to postmarked by June 1, giving the requester assurance of meeting the submission requirements.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. This chapter of administrative rule does not regulate or have economic impact through regulations on small business. There are no compliance costs to small business as a result of the modifications to these rules.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Significant legislative rule-making requirements are not imposed on the state parks and recreation commission, nor has the commission voluntarily applied those requirements.
