EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: June 6, 2002.
Purpose: Amend commercial fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-24-04000C.
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: The chinook quota is projected to have been taken by 11:59 p.m. June 7, 2002. These rules are adopted at the recommendation of the PFMC in accordance with preseason fishing plans. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
