Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15378(a), 14 CCR
Reasons for Exemption
The adoption of the regulations is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” as that term is defined in the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.). A “project” is an activity “which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment…” (CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(a)). The regulations finalize existing emergency regulations, as well as amend other existing regulations. The adoption of the regulations will have no direct effect on the environment and no reasonably foreseeable indirect impacts on the environment. There are no plan requirements in the proposed regulations from which any environmental impacts, direct or indirect, can be discerned.
