FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION

Proposed Special Regulation Designations

[38 Pa.B. 1904]
[Saturday, April 19, 2008]

   The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has approved guidelines with regard to encouraging public participation on possible changes to the designation of streams, 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, stream section or lake under special regulations ordinarily will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin before the matter is reviewed by the Commissioners.

   At an upcoming meeting of the Commission, the Commission will consider designating the following streams and lakes as waters subject to special fishing regulations under 58 Pa. Code Chapter 65, effective January 1, 2009:

58 Pa. Code § 65.10. Early Season Trout Stocked Waters Program

   The Commission will consider removing the following waters from the Early Season Trout Stocked Waters Program. These waters are located in counties that the Commission proposes to add to its Regional Opening Day of Trout Season Program (see the following).

      County             Water
Allegheny North Park Lake
Beaver Brady Run Lake
Beaver Lower Hereford Manor Lake
Beaver Raccoon Lake
Butler Glade Run Lake
Butler Harbor Acres Lake
Lawrence Bessemer Lake
Washington Canonsburg Lake
Westmoreland Donegal Lake
Westmoreland Keystone Lake
Westmoreland Lower Twin Lake
Westmoreland Mammoth Dam
Westmoreland Northmoreland Lake
Westmoreland Upper Twin Lake

58 Pa. Code § 65.12. Regional Opening Day of Trout Season Program

   The Commission will consider designating the following waters as part of the Regional Opening Day of Trout Season Program.

Fayette Indian Creek**

   ** Note:  These streams are approved trout waters that are located in two counties, one of which the Commission proposes to designate as part of the Regional Opening Day of Trout Season Program. To maintain regulatory consistency within approved trout waters that are to be managed under the program, the Commission proposes to designate the entire water as part of the program.

   At this time, the Commission is soliciting public input concerning the 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, within 60 days after publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.

   Comments also may be submitted electronically by completing the form at www.fishandboat.com/reg comments. If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt. Electronic comments submitted in any other manner will not be accepted.
