[37 Pa.B. 731]
[Saturday, February 10, 2007]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 make it unlawful to transport or cause the transport of live fish out of the Pennsylvania portion of the Lake Erie watershed. Waters included in the Pennsylvania portion of the Lake Erie watershed are Twentymile Creek, Orchard Beach Run, Sixteenmile Creek, Twelvemile Creek, Eightmile Creek, Sevenmile Creek, Sixmile Creek, Fourmile Creek, Millcreek, Cascade Creek, Walnut Creek, Trout Run, Godfrey Run, Elk Creek, Crooked Creek, Raccoon Creek, Turkey Creek, Conneaut Creek, Ashtabula Creek and their tributaries.
The Executive Director has found that this action is necessary and appropriate for the protection, preservation and management of fish. These temporary modifications will go into effect immediately and will remain in effect until January 1, 2008, unless the Commission, by appropriate action, adopts the new regulation. The Commission, under a separate notice of proposed rulemaking, will seek public comments on a permanent change to the Commission's fishing regulations.
