Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Common Sense (Sect. 15061(b)(3))
Reasons for Exemption
Under the “Common Sense” exemption in California Code of Regulations, title 14, section 15061(b)(3), the Verification Report is exempt from CEQA because it has no potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The Verification Report simply evaluates and approves findings regarding whether procurement claim amounts are consistent with RPS certification and procurement requirements and are eligible for the RPS program as indicated. As the Report involves only administrative review and does not authorize or result in any physical change to the environment, it can be seen with reasonable certainty that it will not have a significant environmental impact.
