Categorical Exemption. If the Sponsor has reviewed the activities in this grant for impacts to archeological, cultural, and historical resources, and the same for any planned projects in any land acquired with this grant, and determined the project is categorically exempt from further archaeological, historical and cultural resources review, as well as tribal consultation, Sponsor shall notify the RCO in writing prior to beginning the project describing 1) the specific statutory or regulatory exemptions that apply, and 2) their applicability to the specific project. Alternatively, the RCO may determine the project is covered by a categorical exemption, in whole or in part, and notify the Sponsor of such determination.

Categorical Exemption. This contract is for an important membership renewal for the Energy Commission; departmental memberships in professional organizations, provided it is solely a membership.
Categorical Exemption. CDFW finds the Safe Harbor Agreement (SHA) to be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15307, the "Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources Exemption" (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15307). CDFW has determined that implementation of this SHA is reasonably expected to provide a “net conservation benefit” to great gray owl due to habitat enhancement, which will result in increased availability to nesting and foraging habitat. This will be achieved through forest management, timber operations, and meadow restoration. These areas will be treated to maintain appropriate nesting and foraging habitat elements for great gray owl.
Categorical Exemption. LSA will prepare a technical memorandum to substantiate that the proposed project qualifies for a CE from CEQA under Section 15301. LSA will also describe the project’s relationship to any exceptions or potential unusual circumstances listed in CEQA Section 15300.2 LSA will prepare an Administrative Draft Memorandum, and, based on receipt of one set of consolidated comments, will prepare a Screencheck Draft Memorandum and a Final Memorandum. This scope assumes all memorandum drafts would be provided electronically. The memorandum will provide staff with the basis for preparing the staff report to present to the City Council. The City would be responsible for payment of any filing fees associated with the Notice of Exemption.

Categorical Exemption. Categorical Exclusion for Geotechnical Borings and Field Surveys To provide information needed for preliminary design, geotechnical boring and field survey activities will need to be conducted as an early task in the engineering effort. LSA will prepare up to two Class 6 Categorical Exemptions pursuant to Section 15306 of the CEQA Guidelines (one for the geotechnical borings and one for the field surveys) for Caltrans approval, and a federal Categorical Exclusion pursuant to United States Code (USC) Title 23, Section 326, for approval by Caltrans. LSA will also prepare two Natural Environment Study-Minimal Impacts (NES-MIs) in support of the Categorical Exemption/Categorical Exclusions (CE/CEs) (one NES-MI for each CE/CE). LSA will provide Caltrans up to six copies of each CE/CE. Once the CE/CE is approved, LSA will file it with the State Clearinghouse and the Riverside County Clerk.
