Section 5058.3 authorizes the Director to certify in a written statement filed with Office of Administrative Law that the operational needs of the department require adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulation on an emergency basis. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW In this regulatory action, the Secretary proposes to completely restructure the inmate and parolee grievance process and the appeal of grievances process, as well as the organizational structure of the Office of Appeals within the department.
This action will: ● Restructure the process for handling all inmate and parolee grievances and appeals of grievances. This process is the non–judicial means provided by the department to address inmate and parolee claims.
The restructuring is intended to improve responsiveness and transparency, reduce real or perceived bias and conflict of interest, ensure the claimant receives a clear response to each claim submitted, and increase access to the process by reducing strict filing requirements that may have made it more difficult for claimants to bring their claims to the department’s attention. ● Clarify the roles and responsibilities of department staff at the institutional or regional level Offices of Grievances and the statewide–level Office of Appeals. ● Expedite the processing of inmate and parolee grievances which contain information concerning personal safety, institutional security, sexual misconduct, or, in specified circumstances, a claim that the inmate’s Earliest Possible Release Date is erroneous. ● Move the Office of Appeals from under the Division of Adult Institutions (the division responsible for day–to–day security operations at State prisons) to a separate division within the department to improve independence and reduce bias, whether real or perceived, in the handling of inmate and parolee appeals of grievances.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE CDCR Form 602–1 (Rev. 01/22), Grievance CDCR Form 602–2 (Rev. 01/22), Appeal of Grievance CDCR Form 602–3 (Rev. 01/22), Request to Implement Remedies CDCR Form 1872 (Rev. 03/20), Inmate Participation Agreement — Joint Venture Program (JVP) CDCR Form 1819 (Rev. 07/18), Notification of Disapproval for Mail/Packages/Publications SPECIFIC BENEFITS ANTICIPATED BY THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS These regulations will significantly improve the department’s handling of inmate and parolee grievances and appeals of grievances which will improve departmental transparency, integrity, and staff accountability.
EVALUATION OF INCONSISTENCY/ INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS Pursuant to Government Code 11346.5(a)(3)(D), the department has determined the proposed regulations are not inconsistent or incompatible with existing regulations. After conducting a review for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area, the department has concluded that these are the only regulations that concern inmate and parolee grievances and appeals.
LOCAL MANDATES This action imposes no mandates on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate which requires reimbursement of costs or savings pursuant to Government Code Sections 17500–17630. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT ● Cost or savings to any state agency: CDCR will submit a Budget Change Proposal for inclusion in the 2022–23 Governor’s Budget to provide ongoing resources to support the implementation of these regulations (approx. $14.2 million annually).
CDCR is anticipating absorbing the costs identified in the current fiscal year (2021–22). ● Cost to any local agency or school district that is required to be reimbursed: None. ● Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. ● Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS The department has made an initial determination that the proposed action will have no significant effect on housing costs.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 35-Z 1089 COST IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES The department is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.
SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON BUSINESS The department has made an initial determination that the proposed regulations will not have a significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states, because the proposed regulations place no obligations or requirements on any business. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESSES The department has determined that the proposed regulations will not affect small businesses.
This action has no significant adverse economic impact on small businesses because they place no obligations or requirements on any business. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT The department has determined that the proposed regulation will have no effect on the creation of new, or the elimination of existing, jobs or businesses within California, or affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business in California. The department has determined that the proposed regulation will have no effect on worker safety or the state’s environment.
These regulations may benefit the welfare of California residents by incentivizing inmates and parolees to resolve complaints at the lowest level possible, thus avoiding expensive and time–consuming litigation. In addition, to the extent these regulations improve the transparency and efficiency of the department’s grievance and appeal process, these regulations may benefit the welfare of California residents by modeling non–confrontational techniques for dispute resolution which will enhance the rehabilitative mission of the department.
CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the department or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the department would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed regulatory action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provisions of law.
Interested persons are invited to present statements or arguments with respect to any alternatives to the changes proposed during the written comment period or at a scheduled hearing. A VAILABILITY OF PROPOSED TEXT AND INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS The department has prepared and will make available the text and the Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR) of the proposed regulations.

Requests for copies of any modified regulation text should be directed to the contact person indicated in this Notice.

GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE PROPOSED RESEARCH ON FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES SALVAGE AND RESCUE OF INJURED CALIFORNIA BROWN PELICANS The Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) received a study proposal from Mr. Ronnie Glick, on behalf of California Department of Parks and Recreation, requesting authorization to take California Brown Pelican ( Pelecanus occidentalis californicus; brown pelican), a Fully Protected bird, for scientific research purposes, consistent with conservation and recovery of the species. Mr.
Glick is planning to salvage dead brown pelicans for necropsy purposes to help determine cause of death, and to capture and temporarily hold injured brown pelicans for rehabilitation by Department– approved wildlife rehabilitation facilities. The salvage and rescue activities will occur primarily on state park coastal lands in San Luis Obispo County, California, in accordance with methods approved by the Department and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service).
The purpose of the study is to better understand mortality and injury factors for brown pelicans on state park lands in San Luis Obispo County, and contribute to brown pelican population recovery. No adverse effects on individual brown pelicans or their breeding populations are expected. The Department intends to issue, under specified conditions, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would authorize Mr. Ronnie Glick, as the Principal Investigator, to carry out the proposed activities. All required federal permits must also be obtained. Pursuant to California Fish and Game Code (FGC)
Section 3511(a)(1), the Department may authorize take of Fully Protected bird species after a 30–day notice period has been provided to affected and interested parties through publication of this notice. If the Department determines that the proposed research is
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 35-Z 1091 consistent with the requirements of FGC
Section 3511 for take of Fully Protected birds, it would issue the authorization on or after September 26, 2021, for an initial and renewable term of up to, but not to exceed, five years. Contact: Esther.Burkett@wildlife.ca.gov, 916 –531–1594.
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE CESA CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION REQUEST FOR THREE BRIDGES PROJECT 2080–2021–012–01 HUMBOLDT COUNTY The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a notice on August 13, 2021 that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to rely on a consultation between federal agencies to carry out a project that may adversely affect a species protected by the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). The proposed project involves the replacement and/or widening of 3 bridges that do not meet current design standards.
Proposed activities will include, but are not limited to, vegetation clearing, construction of temporary access roads and crane pads, demolition of portions or the entirety of old bridges, installation of stream diversion and containment systems, and the construction of new bridges or portions of new bridges which may be precast or cast–in–place. The proposed project will occur on State Route 36 on Hely Creek Bridge (Postmile 11.46), Little Larabee Creek Bridge (Postmile 25.27), and Butte Creek Bridge (34.52) in Humboldt County.
The National Marine Fisheries Service (Service) issued a federal biological opinion (BO) (Service Ref. No. WCRO–2021–01053) in a memorandum to Caltrans on July 8, 2021 which considered the effects of the proposed project on state and federally threatened Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast coho salmon ( Oncorhynchus kisutch ), and federally threatened and state candidate for listing as endangered Northern California steelhead (O. mykiss). Pursuant to California Fish and Game Code
section 2080.1, Caltrans is requesting a determination that the BO and its associated Incidental Take Statement (ITS) are consistent with CESA for purposes of the proposed project. If CDFW determines the BO and its associated ITS are consistent with CESA for the proposed project, Caltrans will not be required to obtain an incidental take permit under Fish and Game Code
section 2081 subdivision (
b) for the proposed project. PROPOSITION 65 OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY SAFE DRINKING WATER AND TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1986 PROPOSITION 65 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND EXTENSION OF THE COMMENT PERIOD PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
