Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Geographic names help identify and distinguish
				geographic features, places, or areas. The board of geographic names
				with assistance from the committee on geographic names is the
				Washington state agency that officially approves names for geographic
				features in Washington state.
The designation of a name is often an important issue
				for a community or a proponent. Due to the official and lasting
				nature of geographic names, designation should only occur after
				careful consideration of available information relating to the
				policies in these rules. Continuity in the use of geographic names is
				important for clarity in verbal and written communications and
				emergency situations; consequently, changes in existing names should
				not be made without a compelling reason.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 332 - Natural Resources, Board and Department of (See also Title 222) › Chapter 332-160 - COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES AND GEOGRAPHIC NAMES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES › Section 332-160-020 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
"Board on geographic names" refers to the board that
				is created by the Washington legislature to, in part, establish the
				procedure to retain existing geographic names and to either name or
				rename geographic features within the state of Washington consistent
				with
				RCW 43.30.291 through
				43.30.295. The board of
				natural resources serves as the board of geographic names.
"Commemorative name" refers to a name or proposed
				name of a geographic feature, which incorporates a person's name in
				his or her honor.
"Committee on geographic names" refers to the
				committee created by the board on geographic names to help the board
				carry out its duties and to provide broader public and tribal
				participation in naming features. The committee's duties are more
				fully described in
				RCW 43.30.292 through
				43.30.293.
"Diacritical marks" are symbols added to letters or
				names to indicate a special phonetic value or to distinguish words
				that are otherwise spelled the same way.
"Geographic features" include lakes, mountains,
				streams, places, towns and other similar features located within the
				state. For purposes of
				RCW 43.30.291,
				geographic features do not include human-made features or
				administrative areas such as parks, game reserves, and dams, but do
				include human-made lakes.
"Name change" means formally changing the proper name
				of a place, feature, or area in Washington state.
"Wilderness areas" refers to federally owned areas
				that are designated as wilderness areas under the Wilderness Act of
				1964 ( Public Law 88-577, 78 Stat. 890).
Washington Administrative Code › Title 332 - Natural Resources, Board and Department of (See also Title 222) › Chapter 332-160 - COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES AND GEOGRAPHIC NAMES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES › Section 332-160-030 - Proposal requirements and consideration process

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
How are complete proposals submitted and
				generally reviewed?
The board on geographic names is responsible for
				establishing official Washington state geographic names. A geographic
				name becomes official after the board approves a recommendation made
				by the committee on geographic names. The committee on geographic
				names considers name proposals that are submitted to it rather than
				acting on its own motion.
(1) Timing and form of geographic
			 name proposals:
(a) Proponents may
			 submit geographic name proposals to the committee on geographic names
			 at any time throughout the year. The committee has two regularly
			 scheduled committee meetings each year. To be considered at an
			 upcoming regular committee meeting, the proposal must be received at
			 least thirty days prior to that meeting.
(b) Proposals should be submitted
			 on the Committee on Geographic Names' Proposal Form and be
			 electronically submitted to bogn@dnr.wa.gov or mailed to:
Washington State Committee on Geographic Names
P.O. Box 47030
Olympia, WA 98504
(c) Proposals should be consistent
			 with the form and substance expressed in this chapter and may be
			 returned or ultimately denied for being inconsistent. The committee
			 may accept for consideration proposals on a United States Board of
			 Geographic Names Form when the proposal is forwarded by the U.S.
			 board.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 332 - Natural Resources, Board and Department of (See also Title 222) › Chapter 332-160 - COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES AND GEOGRAPHIC NAMES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES › Section 332-160-040 - Factors to consider for all name proposals

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
What factors will the committee and board on
				geographic names consider when reviewing geographic name
				proposals?
There can be no set formula applied to determine
				whether a specific proposal should be approved or denied; however,
				there are certain factors that should be considered. This section
				describes considerations of the board and committee on geographic
				names as well as how these factors influence the naming
				decision.
(1) Proposals
			 containing the following characteristics are generally favored:
(a) Dominant local usage - Names
			 that are in dominant local usage and are strongly supported by local
			 residents will be favored. Proponents should submit appropriate
			 evidence of local usage and resident support for their
			 proposal.
(b) Historical
			 significance - Names that are significant to the early history of
			 Washington state, such as names of prominent Native Americans or
			 pioneers, or pertinent foreign origin will be favored. Proponents
			 should provide appropriate evidence of the historical significance of
			 the proposed name as well as its relationship to the geographic
			 feature.
(c) Use of the
			 Roman alphabet - Proposed geographic names must be written in the
			 Roman alphabet as normally used for writing the English language.
			 Diacritical marks, however, may be added to names as specified below.
			 Proposed names should be as short as possible and easily pronounced.
			 The pronunciation should be apparent from the spelling.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 332 - Natural Resources, Board and Department of (See also Title 222) › Chapter 332-160 - COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES AND GEOGRAPHIC NAMES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES › Section 332-160-050 - Name changes

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
When is the change of an existing geographic
				name appropriate?
Stability in the use of geographic names is
				important to reduce confusion and to minimize costs associated with
				changing names; thus, changes in existing geographic names should
				only occur where a proponent provides substantial evidence of a
				compelling reason for the change. Proposals to change names that have
				recently (less than five years) been adopted by the board on
				geographic names will very rarely be considered by the committee on
				geographic names. Generally, the following three classes of proposals
				may justify the change of an existing official name:
(1) Proposals made to bring
			 existing official names into agreement with dominant local
			 usage;
(2) Proposals made
			 to eliminate existing name problems, as in the case of derogatory
			 names, name duplication creating confusion within a county, and
			 officially recognized names that were based on incorrect information;
			 or
(3) Proposals made at
			 the request of persons or organizations for commemorative purposes.
Committee decisions to change a name or to adopt any
				specific name will consider all relevant factors regarding name
				proposals as well as other committee policies, documented usage,
				population density, and state, tribal and local government
				needs.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 332 - Natural Resources, Board and Department of (See also Title 222) › Chapter 332-160 - COMMITTEE ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES AND GEOGRAPHIC NAMES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES › Section 332-160-060 - Multiple proposals for the same geographic feature

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
How will the committee process multiple
				proposals for the same geographic feature?
When the committee has received multiple proposals
				relating to the same geographic feature, the committee may, in its
				discretion, delay deliberation on a proposal so as to make
				simultaneous deliberations and one recommendation. Once the committee
				recommends approval of a proposal, the committee will not consider
				other proposals for the same geographic feature unless the board
				refers the proposal back to the committee for further consideration.
				The board may, in its discretion, either approve a proposal or refer
				the proposal to the committee for one recommendation in consideration
				of all proposals for a geographic feature.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
When may a denied proposal be resubmitted to
				the committee on geographic names?
The Washington state committee on geographic names
				will not reconsider a denied proposal unless one of the following
				applies:
(1) Significant new
			 information supporting the proposal under these policies is presented
			 to the committee.
(2) The
			 proposal is referred back to the committee by the board with a
			 recommendation to review.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
How does one comment on
				proposals?
If a proposal is accepted for final consideration at
				a meeting, the committee will solicit opinions from local and tribal
				governments and other organizations or individuals who may have an
				interest in the proposed name. Because of the difficulty in
				contacting everyone who may be familiar with a particular geographic
				feature, the committee relies upon comments submitted by the
				public.
There are two preferred ways to comment on a
				geographic name proposal, and comments can be submitted at any time
				in the proposal process, up to ten days prior to a meeting:
(1) People who want to comment on a
			 proposal prior to a meeting can do so by sending electronic comments
			 to the committee at bogn@dnr.wa.gov or send written comments to:
Washington State Committee on Geographic Names
P.O. Box 47030
Olympia, WA 98504
(2) Individuals may comment on
			 their proposal(s) of interest during a committee meeting. Committee
			 staff will individually announce a geographic name proposal and
			 identified speakers. Each speaker will have two minutes to testify
			 plus additional time allowed by the committee chair to answer
			 committee member questions. The committee chair may announce more or
			 less time for speakers at the beginning of the meeting to accommodate
			 the agenda.
