Purpose of the meeting
The department is holding a series of eleven open meetings for the purpose of receiving the public's comments regarding proposed changes to regulations governing (a) sportfish and fishing, and (b) wildlife diversity (wildlife other than in the context of hunting, trapping, or fishing). The meeting format will be informal questions and answers and discussion from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., with staff presentation of the proposed regulations beginning at 7:30 p.m. The proposals addressed at the meeting series are those regulations or regulation amendments which the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries proposes at its August 24, 2000 meeting. A public comment period opens on the proposed regulation amendments August 24 and will close October 26, 2000. The proposals will be available at the public meetings, on the department's web site, www.dgif.state.va.us, at the department’s central and regional offices, and will be published in the September 25 issue of the Virginia Register of Regulations. The public input meeting series is being held prior to the board meeting of October 26, 2000, at which the board intends to adopt final regulations or regulation amendments. The eleven public input meetings are supplemental public hearings to the two hearings which occur at the August 24 and October 26, 2000 board meetings. Comments received on the proposals at the public input meetings will be summarized and reported to the board for their consideration at the October 26, 2000 meeting prior to their adopting final regulations. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is exempt from the Administrative Process Act in promulgating regulations regarding the management of wildlife, pursuant to subdivision A.3 of § 9-6.14:4.1 of the Code of Virginia. The department publishes all proposed and final wildlife management regulations as required under § 9-6.14:22 of the Code of Virginia.
