Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-61900F; and amending WAC 232-28-619.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.040.
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.

Grays Harbor County requested that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife allow seniors and persons of disability to also fish Vance Creek Pond #1 in May of 1998. An emergency regulation was filed on May 12, 1998, and a permanent regulation has been filed and will take effect on May 1, 1999. This regulation will cover the time period from the opening day of trout season on April 24, 1999, until the permanent regulations goes into effect on May 1, 1999.
