PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

[Filed June 18, 2013, 11:38 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: Amending chapter 172-118 WAC, Restrictions and regulations for recreational equipment.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 28B.35.120(12).

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The proposed revisions narrow the focus of the existing chapter to recreational equipment that is of primary concern, i.e., skateboards, roller skates, inline skates, skate shoes, scooters and similar equipment. The proposed revision restricts the use of such equipment on the university campus in order to reduce physical damage and unnecessary wear to campus property.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None.

Process for Developing New Rule: Negotiated rule making.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Trent Lutey, University Policy Administrator, Office of the President, Eastern Washington University, 214 Showalter Hall, Cheney, WA 99004, phone (509) 359-6322, fax (509) 359-7036, and e-mail tlutey@ewu.edu. A public hearing will be held to permit comment on all proposed rules and revisions.
