An order affecting ch.
NR 10, relating to deer hunting.
Partially effective 8-1-02
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The rules are applicable to individual sportspersons and impose no compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses. Therefore, a final regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
Summary of Comments of Legislative Standing Committees
The proposed rules were reviewed by the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Environmental Resources. The Senate Committee on Environmental Resources held a public hearing on March 15, 2201. The Senate Committee requested the Department to remove the January bow season, extend the current September to November deer bow season by 2 days, remove the December deer gun season, and create a 2-day deer gun season on the Saturday and Sunday immediately after the regular deer gun season.
The Assembly Committee on Natural Resources held a public hearing on April 2, 2001 and requested modifications to the proposed rule.
At its May 23, 2001 meeting, the Natural Resources Board adopted modifications that concluded the late archery season on January 3, extended the early archery season by 4 days, included an experimental 4-day December antlerless gun season north of US highway 8 and clarified the state park herd control seasons.
On June 6, 2001, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources requested further modifications. At its October 26, 2001 meeting, the Natural Resources Board modified the December experimental gun deer season to be in effect for 3 years, after which it would discontinue or sunset according to the rule. The Board declined to add 7 days to the end of the traditional 9-day deer gun season.
On November 7, 2001, the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources objected to 4 portions of Clearinghouse Rule No. 00-154 and referred those portions of the rule to the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules. The Committee specifically objected to those parts of the rule that:
1. Created a 4-day December antlerless only deer hunting season for the 2002, 2003 and 2004 seasons.
2. Sets the day in October for the start of the 4-day antlerless only deer season, allowing the use of bows and guns, in a special deer herd control season.
3. Authorizes a 4-day early bow season immediately prior to the 9-day gun season.
4. Allows gun license deer to be registered only in the unit where the deer was killed or an adjoining unit.
The portions of the rule not objected to by the Committee were promulgated by the Department effective February 1, 2002.
On January 10, 2002, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules held a public hearing. The Committee requested the Department to modify the 4-day December antlerless deer hunt. The Committee wanted to preserve the ability of the Department to have a December T-Zone hunt, but the Committee was strongly opposed to the creation of a permanent, statewide hunt in December. The Committee also requested the Department to modify the early bow season to apply this hunt on a permanent, statewide basis.
The Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules agreed with the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources' objections on the 4-day October antlerless only deer season and the restriction on where deer must be registered. Legislation was introduced on these two objections.
On March 27, 2002, the Natural Resources Board adopted a modification that the early bow season would close at the end of the hunting hours two days prior to the opening of the deer gun season regardless of when that season would begin. The Board further adopted a December 4-day antlerless gun deer season in units requiring additional antlerless deer hunting opportunities to control the deer population in certain units. The Department of Natural Resources further requested the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules reconsider their objection to the registration of deer in the unit of harvest or an adjacent unit based on the discovery of chronic wasting disease (CWD).
On April 12, 2002, the Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules rescinded its objection to the restriction on where deer must be registered. The Committee further requested that the Department modify the December 4-day antlerless gun deer season so that it was only allowed in that part of the state that lies south of state highway 8.
On April 24, 2002, the Natural Resources Board agreed to the proposed modification. The Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules waived any further review of Clearinghouse Rule No. 00-154.
