DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 06-106 -- Filed May 17, 2006, 4:39 p.m. , effective May 19, 2006, 12:01 a.m. ]

     Effective Date of Rule: May 19, 2006, 12:01 a.m.

     Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.

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

     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: This emergency rule is necessary to assure a safe and successful event. Closing the lake will ensure safety for the public as well as the event participants. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
