EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: April 12, 2001.
Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-56-28500Y and 232-28-61900T.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 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: The number of wild upper Columbia/Snake River spring chinook listed under the Endangered Species Act allowed to be taken has been taken. Upper Columbia spring chinook are listed as "endangered"; Snake River spring chinook are listed as "threatened." There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
