    EMERGENCY RULES
    DEPARTMENT OF
    FISH AND WILDLIFE
    [Order 16-156-Filed June 23, 2016, 3:51 p.m., effective June 26, 2016, 4:00 a.m.]
    Effective Date of Rule: June 26, 2016, 4:00 a.m.
    Purpose: Amend fishing rules for Oregon-Washington commercial license reciprocity.
    Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-20-00500A; and amending WAC 220-20-005.
    Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, 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: An emergency rule is needed because Oregon guides are participating in the Operation Salmon Salute event. The emergency rule change will allow veterans to be safely picked up and dropped off at the point of the event on the Washington shoreline versus having to ferry them across the Columbia to be picked up and dropped off on the Oregon shore. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
