Type, Section or Code
Sec. 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed agency action is not a project under CEQA as the decision to adopt the regulations does not result in any direct physical change in the environment or implicate a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, the common sense exemption applies as it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the regulations results in no possibility of a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the action of adopting these changes to the regulatory definitions is not subject to, or is exempt, from CEQA.
