FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION Consideration of Changes to Special Regulation Designations [29 Pa.B. 1570] The Fish and Boat Commission (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 new 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 May 2 and 3, 1999, the Commission will consider designating the following stream section and lake as waters subject to special fishing regulations under 58 Pa. Code Chapter 65, effective January 1, 2000:
58 Pa. Code § 65.6. Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only Areas
