OAR 635-006-1005: Introduction to Restricted Participation Systems Organization

(1) In 2012, many commercial fishing regulations were reorganized with significant parts of the Restricted Participation Systems regulations moved to their related fishery sections in division 4 and division 5 of the Fish & Wildlife Oregon Administrative Rules. As a result of the reorganization, only regulations regarding commercial gillnet and troll salmon fisheries remain in the Restricted Participation Systems section.
