These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded'. The exceptions to the issuance of categorical exemptions have been evaluated for the proposed project to further substantiate the use of Categorical Exemption, Class 6 Information Collection {Section 15306).
