Name of Proponent: Washington State Lottery Commission, governmental.

Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: WAC 315-11A-187, 315-11A-188, 315-11A-189, 315-11A-190 and 315-11A-191, for each game, certain terms must be defined in order to provide consistency in the game play rules. The play criteria will explain how the game functions to licensed retailers and players. Rigid validation requirements are set forth which will prevent the lottery or its retailers from paying out prize money on invalid tickets.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: WAC 315-12-020 Definitions and 315-12-080 Requests for public records, clarifies the definition of "listing" or "list" for public disclosure purposes.

WAC 315-12-090 Copying, changes the fee charged for providing copies of public records from 25 cents to 15 cents per page.

WAC 315-11A-184 Instant Game Number 184 ("$2 Instant Monopoly®"), corrects a typographical error for a play symbol caption.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The lottery has considered whether these rules are subject to the Regulatory Fairness Act, chapter 19.85 RCW, and has determined that they are not for the following reasons: (1) The rules have no economic impact on business' cost of equipment, supplies, labor or administrative costs. The rules are designed to establish rules and procedures for the playing of instant lottery games; and (2) the rules will have a negligible impact, if any, on business because they are interpretive. They have been promulgated for the purpose of stating policy, procedure and practice and do not include requirements for forms, fees, appearances or other actions by business.

Section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. Said section does not apply to these proposed rules because they are not proposed by one of the listed agencies. As the rules are merely interpretive, the lottery does not voluntarily apply this section.

Hearing Location: Washington State Lottery, 814 4th Avenue, Olympia, WA 98504, on March 7, 1997, at 10:00 a.m.

Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Michael Aoki-Kramer by February 25, 1997, (360) 586-6583.

Submit Written Comments to: Michael Aoki-Kramer, Lottery, FAX (360) 586-6586, by March 6, 1997.

Date of Intended Adoption: March 7, 1997.
