Other
Type, Section or Code
General common sense exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
This project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). This section provides a “common sense” exemption for projects that do not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. This rulemaking project consists of removing the emergency affirmative defense provisions and other administrative changes in order to maintain a federally-approved Title V operating permit program for major stationary sources of air pollution. Since these rule amendments are limited to enforcement and administrative changes, there are no reasonably foreseeable environmental impacts.
