COMMISSION

Temporary Changes to Fishing Regulations and Proposed Designations of Waters Subject to Special Fishing Regulations

[30 Pa.B. 3534]

   The Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code § 65.25 (relating to temporary changes to fishing regulations), has taken immediate action to temporarily modify fishing regulations at the Beaverdam Run Reservoir, Cambria County. Specifically, the Executive Director has designated Beaverdam Run Reservoir as a water to be regulated and managed under 58 Pa. Code §§ 65.9 and 65.11 (relating to big bass special regulations and panfish enhancement special regulation) for sunfish, yellow perch and crappie.

   The Commission has approved guidelines with regard to encouraging public participation on possible changes to the designation of stream sections or lakes for special regulation programs. Under 58 Pa. Code Chapter 65 (relating to special fishing regulations), the Commission designates certain streams, stream sections and lakes as being subject to special fishing regulations. These designations are effective after Commission approval when they are posted at the site and a notice is published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Under the Commission's guidelines, a notice concerning the proposed designation or redesignation of a stream section or lake under special regulations ordinarily will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin before the matter is reviewed by the Commissioners.

   At the next Commission meeting on July 23 and 24, 2000, the Commission will consider designating Beaverdam Run Reservoir, Cambria County, as a water subject to big bass special regulations under 58 Pa. Code § 65.9 and the panfish enhancement special regulation under 58 Pa. Code § 65.11 for sunfish, yellow perch and crappie. If approved, these designations will go into effect upon publication of a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   At this time, the Commission is soliciting public input concerning the above designations. Persons with comments, objections or suggestions concerning the designations are invited to submit comments in writing to Executive Director, Fish and Boat Commission, P. O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000 by no later than 4 p.m., July 21, 2000. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.

   Comments also may be submitted electronically at ''regulations@fish.state.pa.us.'' A subject heading of the proposal and a return name and address must be included in each transmission. In addition, all electronic comments must be contained in the text of the transmission, not in an attachment. If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt.
