(RCW 34.05.354)	CR-101XR (6/11/98)
	
	USE ONLY FOR EXPEDITED REPEAL

Agency:
WASHINGTON UTILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
List of sections proposed for expedited repeal:

chapter 480-63 WAC (Railroad Companies - Weighing)




Rules proposed for expedited repeal must meet one of more of the following 
criteria (check all that apply):
X  Statute on which the rule was based has been repealed and has not been 
replaced by another statute
providing statutory authority for the rule.
_ Statute on which the rule was based has been declared unconstitutional by a 
court with jurisdiction,
there is a final judgement, and no statute has been enacted to replace the 
unconstitutional statute.
_ Rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
_ Other rules of the agency or of another agency govern the same activity as 
the rule, making the rule 
redundant.
Any person who objects to the rule must file a written objection to the repeal 
within thirty days after
publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address your objection to:      Secretary
                                             Washington Utilities and 
Transportation Commission
                                             P. O. Box 47250
                                             Olympia, WA 98504-7250
                                             360-664-1174

Please reference Docket No. TR-980079 on all correspondence.
Explanation of the reasons the agency believes the expedited repeal of the rule 
is appropriate:

The legislature has transferred responsibilities for track scales and for 
weighing to another agency.  The Commission no longer has jurisdiction over the 
subject matter of these rules.
