Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15308 - Class 8
Reasons for Exemption
ARB has determined that this regulation is categorically exempt from CEQA under the "Class 8" exemption (14 CCR 15308) because it is an action taken by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment. The action is designed to protect the environment and ARB has determined there is no substantial evidence indicating the proposal could adversely affect air quality or any other environmental resource area, or that any of the exceptions to the exemption apply (14 CCR 15300.2); therefore ,this activity is exempt from CEQA. A brief explanation of the basis for reaching this conclusion is included in Chapter V of the Staff report.
