EMERGENCY RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 03-219 -- Filed August 28, 2003, 2:48 p.m. ]

     Date of Adoption: August 28, 2003.

     Purpose: Amend commercial fishing rules.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-52-07100C.

     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 state sea cucumber harvest target amounts for the 2003 summer fishery, set by the Sea Cucumber/Sea Urchin Advisory Board, have been taken. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
