WSR 13-22-074 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 13-286—Filed November 5, 2013, 2:13 p.m., effective November 5, 2013, 2:13 p.m.] Effective Date of Rule: Immediately upon filing.
Purpose: Amend WAC 220-47-001 Puget Sound salmon—Quick reporting, to correct a WAC reference within the text of the rule.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-47-001.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.020, and 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: WAC 220-47-001 requires individuals participating in Puget Sound commercial salmon fisheries to comply with quick reporting requirements in WAC 220-69-240 Duties of commercial purchasers and receivers. The subsection reference to WAC 220-69-240 in WAC 220-47-001 should be to subsection (14), not subsection (12). An amendment to correct the permanent rule is currently in progress. There is insufficient time to adopt permanent rules.
Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
