[Order 98-97--Filed June 3, 1998, 4:33 p.m., effective June 6, 1998, 8:00 a.m.]
Date of Adoption: June 3, 1998.
Purpose: Personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900Q; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.040.
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 rule is needed to regulate a juvenile fishing derby on planted trout. Following conclusion of the derby the planted trout are available to all fishers. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
