EMERGENCY RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 14-296-Filed October 8, 2014, 12:51 p.m., effective October 8, 2014, 12:51 p.m.]
Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Change the hunt dates for Chiliwist archery, quality deer hunt 1064 in GMU 239 and Alta muzzleloader, quality deer hunt 1077 in GMU 242 for existing 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 make adjustments to 2014 deer special permit seasons due to an inadvertent overlap in season dates. The overlaps were created when making rules to address the Carleton Fire Complex in north central Washington. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
