DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 14-257-Filed September 16, 2014, 11:22 a.m., effective September 16, 2014, 11:22 a.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Creates additional deer permits in GMUs 224, 239, 242 and Deer Area 2012 for youth, senior, disabled and second tag categories and changes the hunt dates for GMUs 224, 239, 242 and Deer Area 2012 for existing and future permit holders.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 232-28-359.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW
77.04.012, 77.04.020, 77.04.055, and 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: This emergency rule is needed to makes adjustments to 2014 deer special permit seasons due to issues arising from wildfires that occurred during the summer of 2014. There is insufficient time to adopt 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Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
