Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 250-66 WAC, Washington state scholars program.

     Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Chapter 28B.80 RCW.

     Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Current rules do not address nomination and selection procedures in the event that nominations received are insufficient for the naming of three Washington scholars and one Washington scholars-alternate in each of the state's legislative districts, as directed by statute. A rule change may be advisable to better establish nomination and selection procedures whereby a full complement of Washington scholars and Washington scholars-alternates is ensured to be named each year.

     Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: Not applicable.

     Process for Developing New Rule:      Agency study.

     Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting John Klacik, Associate Director for Student Financial Aid, Higher Education Coordinating Board, 917 Lakeridge Way, P.O.
