Notice of Expedited Rule Making — Repeal (Per RCW 34.05.353)

Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 478 168 330, Fines, from Chapter 478 168 WAC, Regulations for the University of Washington Libraries.
Statutory Authority for Adoption and Statute Being Implemented: RCW 28B.20.130
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This proposal repeals WAC 478-168-330, Fines. This section was inadvertently left out of the repealer section when the University filed its proposed rule making to amend chapter 478-168 WAC, Regulations for the University of Washington Libraries, rules that were adopted by the University on June 11, 2004 and will take effect on September 21, 2004. Because of this omission, WAC 478-168-330, Fines, will conflict with amended section WAC 478-168-310, Fines and Charges, as well as with other amendments of these rules on September 21, 2004. Repealing WAC 478-168-330, Fines, will allow the rules in chapter 478-168 WAC to take effect as originally envisioned.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: This proposal meets the criteria for expedited repeal of rules, as stated in RCW 34.05.353 (2)(d), “Other rules of the agency…govern the same activity as the rule, making the rule redundant.”

NOTICE: THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE. IF YOU OBJECT TO THIS USE OF THE EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS, YOU MUST EXPRESS YOUR OBJECTIONS IN WRITING AND THEY MUST BE SENT TO
