Yesterday marked another significant step toward completion of the years-long journey of the first major CEQA Guidelines update in decades.  The California Natural Resources Agency gave notice on July 2, 2018 of its modifications to OPR’s originally-proposed Guidelines changes.  The Agency called for written comments, limited to these “15-day language” modifications, to be submitted by July 20, 2018.  It noted that its staff will review and respond to comments received by that date as part of the formal rulemaking process, which began with the Agency (after receipt of OPR’s proposed Guidelines revisions) when it published its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking back on January 26, 2018.

A link to the Agency’s 15-day language revisions and related documents can be found here.
