Date of Adoption: July 25, 2000.
Purpose: Amend personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-57-160.
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: This regulation changes Buoy 10 upstream line and daily limit consistent with North of Falcon rules. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
