Commission to consider rule changes at Bonners
Ferry meeting |
|
July 17, 2017 |
By Mike Demick
IDFG Conservation Information Supervisor
When the Idaho Fish and Game Commission meets
July 26 and 27 in Bonners Ferry, they will
consider routine agenda items as well conduct
formal rulemaking to consider rules that are
simple in nature and do not implement new
regulatory requirements.
Individuals may provide comments on these rules
at the Commission public hearing beginning at 7
p.m. Wednesday, July 26 at the Kootenai River
Inn, 7169 Plaza Street.
The proposed rules are:
* Revise reference to mandatory school for Unit 39 controlled archery
hunt to reflect current implementation of
mandatory hunter orientation.
* Revise rule prescribing elements of Mandatory Harvest Report Form
submission to reflect current implementation.
* Refine reporting requirements for wolf harvest to rescind telephone
reporting, which is no longer applicable to
management because there are no longer zone
quotas. Mandatory check of harvested wolves will
still be required.
* Consider a temporary and proposed rule that would rescind rule
requiring payment of moose, bighorn sheep, or
mountain goat tag fee at the time of controlled
hunt application to coincide with the new,
increased application fee for these species
beginning with 2018 license sales.
A detailed agenda, including a draft of the rule
proposals, will be posted on the Fish and Game
website when it becomes available. Individuals
with disabilities may request meeting
accommodations by contacting the Idaho Fish and
Game director's office at (208) 334-5159 or
through the Idaho Relay Service at
1-800-377-2529 (TDD).
Should the Commission adopt any of the proposed
rules, they are published for an additional 21
day public input period in the Administrative
Bulletin before the Commission adopts them as
pending rules, at which point they must be
upheld by the 2018 Idaho Legislature to become
final rules. |
