Temporary designations shall be effective upon posting of the area. Sponsors are responsible for administering and controlling the area, posting signs and assisting in enforcement.

 (h)  In designating an area for the exclusive use of children or special populations the Commission makes no representation that the areas are suitable for any particular purpose. The sponsors of the areas assume the responsibility for the suitability of the area.

The Executive Director will cause temporary modifications to be posted in the vicinity of the regulated waters; and, when so posted, the modified regulations shall be effective. As soon as practicable after taking immediate action to temporarily modify fishing regulations, the Executive Director will cause a notice of this action to be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 (b)  When the Executive Director takes immediate action to temporarily modify fishing regulations, he will notify the members of the Commission of the action and cause the matter to be placed on the agenda of the next regular or special meeting of the Commission.

 (a)  General rule. The extended trout season is in effect from the day after Labor Day until the last day of February of the following year on approved trout waters and all waters downstream of approved trout waters.

 (b)  Waters not approved trout waters. The Executive Director may grant a permit to apply extended trout regulations to waters that are not approved trout waters upon written application of the owner or lessee of the lands on which the waters are located. Applications will be reviewed to ensure that applying extended trout season regulations to the waters in question is consistent with the best appropriate fisheries management of the waters in question, and to ensure that approval of the application will have no adverse effect on the preservation and expansion of public fishing opportunities within this Commonwealth. Approval or disapproval of applications shall be subject to review under Chapter 51 Subchapter E (relating to permit procedures). Permits for extended trout season on waters other than approved trout waters will be valid until the last day of February of the 6th year after the year in which they are issued. For example, a permit issued in June 1984 will expire on February 28, 1990.
