Please withdraw the statement of inquiry (CR-101) for the
secured environment pilot rule project filed as WSR 99-03-105.
The pilot project has failed to attract the number of
participants originally anticipated. A minimum of ten
participants representing a cross-sector of the state has not
been realized. There have been two providers both of whom are in
King County representing four homes in the project since November
1999. Despite recruitment efforts initiated this past January,
no new participants have come forward. Feedback from the
industry indicates that the rules being tested were not easy to
implement and that current WAC may already allow for some types
of secured environments. Stakeholders who were involved with the
project will be notified that the project will be terminated
effective December 31, 2000. For additional information please
contact Robert Stroh at (360) 725-2588.
