To accomplish this, a covered entity responsible for covered drugs or sharps, is required to establish and implement, either on its own or as a member of a stewardship organization, a stewardship program. The covered entity or stewardship organization that operates a stewardship program, must submit a proposed stewardship plan, an initial stewardship program budget, an annual budget, annual report, and other specified information to CalRecycle. Each covered entity, either individually or through the stewardship organization of which it is a part, must pay all administrative and operational costs associated with establishing and implementing the stewardship program. CalRecycle has developed a proposed regulation to establish administrative procedures to enable CalRecycle to fulfill its responsibilities under SB 212.",https://ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/2020090507/2,Proposed Pharmaceutical and Sharps Waste Stewardship Program Regulations,Jason Smyth,Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery,N/A,,1001 I Street,,Sacramento,CA,95814,9163416676,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Categorical Exemption,"14 CCR Sections 15378(a), 15378(b)(1)","The adoption of the regulation is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project,” as that term is defined in the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code of Regs, Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.). A “project” is an activity “which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment…” (CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(a).) The regulation only establishes administrative procedures for CalRecycle, covered drug and sharp manufacturers, and other covered entities subject to the underlying statute. The adoption of the regulation will have no direct effect on the environment and no reasonably foreseeable indirect effect on the environment. Although the regulation allows the submission of Pharmaceutical and Sharps plans in the future, there are no plan requirements in the proposed regulation from which any environmental impacts, direct or indirect, can be discerned. There are no standards or targets set in the proposed regulation on which to base an objective analysis of any potential impacts. To impute any general or specific environmental effects from the regulation would be entirely speculative, and CEQA does not require a lead agency to speculate as to the potential impacts of a project. Accordingly, the adoption of the regulation is exempt from consideration under CEQA.",,,,,,,,,,,,
