EMERGENCY RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 10-72 -- Filed April 6, 2010, 12:56 p.m. , effective April 16, 2010, 12:01 a.m. ]

     Effective Date of Rule: April 16, 2010, 12:01 a.m.

     Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900L; and amending WAC 232-28-619.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047 and 77.04.020.

     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 closure of Long's Pond is necessary to allow staff to set nets and stock fish for the April 17, 2010, fishing activities and ensure a successful family fish-in (kid's fish-in) event. 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     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
