The emergency rule procedure, pursuant to s.

The federal government and state legislature have delegated to the appropriate agencies rule-making authority to control the hunting of migratory birds. The State of Wisconsin must comply with federal regulations in the establishment of migratory bird hunting seasons and conditions. Federal regulations are not made available to this state until late July of each year. This order is designed to bring the state hunting regulations into conformity with the federal regulations. Normal rule-making procedures will not allow the establishment of these changes by September 1. Failure to modify our rules will result in the failure to provide hunting opportunity and continuation of rules which conflict with federal regulations.

The scope statement number is SS
051-14. The governor approved the scope statement on May 15, 2014, and the scope statement was published in register No. 701 on May 31, 2014.
Finding of Emergency
Significant revisions to ch.
NR 150 became effective on April 1, 2014. The changes proposed are needed to clarify procedures for the review and analysis of new administrative rules and other actions and policies to assure that the intent of the recent revisions to ch.
NR 150 is being met and potential procedural questions do not invalidate years of work and public engagement. Additionally, the changes will clarify the intent of the April 1, 2014 revisions for procedures for WEPA compliance determinations, publication requirements, and plan approvals for various actions and policies, to prevent any misunderstandings or resulting challenge or delay regarding that intent.
The emergency rule procedure, pursuant to s.
227.24, Stats., is necessary to allow timely processing and implementation of department rule proposals, actions, and policies. Preservation of the public welfare necessitates putting the forgoing rule into effect prior to the time that it would take if the Department complied with normal rule promulgation procedures.
