WSR 17-22-063 EMERGENCY RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 17-290—Filed October 26, 2017, 10:45 a.m., effective October 31, 2017] Effective Date of Rule: October 31, 2017. Purpose: Amends commercial salmon rules for Willapa Bay. Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-354-25000B; and amending WAC 220-354-250. 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 emergency rule is consistent with the outcome of discussions through the 2017 North of Falcon season setting process and the Willapa Bay Salmon Management Policy. This emergency rule corrects an error in the permanent rules. 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 Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.
