WSR 18-12-052 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 18-113—Filed May 30, 2018, 4:55 p.m., effective June 1, 2018] Effective Date of Rule: June 1, 2018. Purpose: Amend recreational salmon fishing rules for Puget Sound. Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-313-06000N; and amending WAC 220-313-060. 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 because the department is in the process of adopting permanent rules that are necessary to implement the personal use fishing plans agreed-to with resource comanagers at the North of Falcon proceedings. This rule complies with agreed-to management plans and is interim until permanent rules take effect. There is insufficient time to adopt 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 Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0. Number of Sections Adopted at the Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0. Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's own Initiative: New 1, Amended 0, Repealed 1.
