Proposed Exhibition Area Designation [41 Pa.B. 2914]
[Saturday, June 4, 2011]Under 58 Pa. Code § 67.1 (relating to nursery waters and exhibition areas), the Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), with the approval of the Commission, may designate waters as nursery waters or exhibition areas to which the penalties of 30 Pa.C.S. § 2106 (relating to fishing in hatchery or nursery waters) apply. The designation of waters as nursery waters or exhibition areas shall be effective upon posting of the waters after publication of a notice that the waters have been so designated in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
At the next Commission meeting on July 11 and 12, 2011, the Commission will consider changing the limits of the exhibition area on Spring Creek, Section 05, Centre County. The Commission currently manages this section of Spring Creek as an exhibition area from the railroad trestle located 100 meters upstream of the dam in Tallyrand Park downstream to Lamb Street Bridge, a distance of approximately 550 meters. The Commission proposes to maintain the reach of Spring Creek flowing through Tallyrand Park as an exhibition area but open the adjacent reach downstream of the park to public angling. The new limits of the exhibition area would be from the railroad trestle located 100 meters upstream of the dam in Tallyrand Park downstream to High Street Bridge, a distance of approximately 200 meters. If approved, the approximately 350-meter reach of Spring Creek that will reopened to public angling will be managed as part of Section 06 under 58 Pa. Code § 65.15 (relating to catch and release all-tackle areas).
At this time, the Commission is soliciting public input concerning the previous redesignation. Persons with comments, objections or suggestions concerning the redesignation are invited to submit comments in writing to Executive Director, Fish and Boat Commission, P. O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000, within 30 days after publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.

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.
