EMERGENCY RULES
FISH AND WILDLIFE
Date of Adoption: April 24, 2002.
Purpose: Amend personal use rules.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-56-35000K and 220-56-38000D; and amending WAC 220-56-350 and 220-56-380.
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: This regulation is needed to adjust seasons to accommodate national security at WINAS, and changes in resource abundance due to an unexpected clam die-off at Kayak Point. There is insufficient time to promulgate permanent rules.
