EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: July 21, 2000.
Purpose: Amend personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900Q; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Section 7, chapter 107, Laws of 2000.
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: It is expected that the needed brood stock (approximately 350 adult steelhead) for this brood year will have been collected at the Reiter Pond facility by July 25, 2000. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
