EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: August 14, 2003.
Purpose: Amend hunting rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-35100A.
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: GMU 564 was accidentally removed from the list of Western Washington GMU's open to early archery blacktail deer. There are deer available for harvest and opening this GMU will relieve pressure on adjacent GMUs thus reducing crowding. There is insufficient time to promulgate a permanent rule before the opening of early archery deer season.
