EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: November 28, 2000.
Purpose: Amend personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900I; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047.
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: There are hatchery cutthroat and steelhead surplus to broodstock needs in the creek and are available for harvest by anglers and to provide handicapped (wheelchair bound) fishers access to surplus hatchery cutthroat and steelhead. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
