The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: WAC 192-16-002 Employer reports--Further defining hours worked.

Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: George Mante, UI Tax Regulatory Reform Coordinator, UI Tax Administration, Employment Security Department, P.O. Box 9046, Olympia, WA 98507-9046, fax (360) 902-9556.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: On May 19, 1999, we filed WAC 192-310-040 Employer reports--Further defining hours worked--RCW 50.12.070, with the Code Reviser's Office inadvertently omitting the repealer clause for WAC 192-16-002.

This action merely deletes (repeals) WAC 196-16-002 which has been replaced by WAC 192-310-040 per Governor Locke's Executive Order 97-02.

This repeal action corrects an administrative error of omission.
