[ Order 08-210 -- Filed August 27, 2008, 2:49 p.m. , effective August 27, 2008, 2:49 p.m. ]

     Effective Date of Rule: Immediately.

     Purpose: Amend hunting rules.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 232-28-336.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047, 77.12.020, 77.12.570, 77.12.210.

     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 is to correct an error. The old boundary language had some overlap between two game management units (GMUs) and had a portion of land that was not encompassed by either GMU.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
