Following is a memo asking for withdrawal of rules from the Code Reviser's Office. FSL was asked by the Department of Health rules coordinator to review all pending CR-101's to determine if they are active, or no longer valid. Program has advised me they are no longer proceeding with the following CR-101s and they need to be withdrawn.

     If you have any questions, please contact Allen Spaulding, Rules Coordinator, at (360) 236-2929.

     This memo serves as notice that the department is withdrawing the CR-101 for health, safety and administrative standards for various state institutions which was filed July 16, 1998, and published in WSR 98-15-085. The original proposal was to develop rules for state owned institutions and facilities regarding sanitation, health care and to indicate reimbursement rates to the department of health. Since the filing of WSR 98-15-085, the department has successfully participated in interagency agreements that achieve the same goal. For this reason, the CR-101 is no longer needed.

     This memo serves as notice that the department is withdrawing the CR-101 for WAC 246-314-990 which was filed May 2, 2001, and published in WSR 01-10-123. The original proposal was to adopt fees to cover services provided. The department plans to reassess the necessity for adopting new or restructured fees at a future date. For this reason, the CR-101 for WAC 246-314-990 is no longer needed.

     Individuals requiring information on this rule should contact Gary Bennett, Facilities and Services Licensing at (360) 236-2902.
