Reasons for Exemption
ule; 14 CCR 15061b3
Class 7 categorical exemption exempts actions for the protection of natural resources. The proposed action would reduce interactions between fishing gears and migrating whales and facilitate less trap loss. Common sense exemption exempts agency actions that do not have any potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The cleanup items would not lead to any substantive regulatory change.
