Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15306 of title 14, chapter 3 of the CCR (CEQA Regulations) & "common sense" CEQA Regulations, 15061, subd (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The above-described activity is not a project under section 15378(b)(2) of the CEQA Regulations because it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The regulations pertain to continuing administrative activity related to policy and procedure making; they solely involve data submittal requirements and no direct or indirect changes to the environment will occur as a result of the information production requirements contained therein. In addition, the activity merely implements and clarifies informational reporting requirements established by SB X1-2. Accordingly, the regulations clarifying the gasoline refining margin and marine import reporting requirements are exempt pursuant to the Class 6 categorical exemption. Additionally, the activity is exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Regulations because there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment.
