section 26013 autho- rizes the Department to adopt these proposed regula - tions. The proposed regulations implement, interpret, and make specific the Medicinal and Adult–Use Can - nabis Regulation and Safety Act at Business and Pro - fessions Code

section 26000 et seq. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The purpose of these regulations is to make per - manent the emergency regulations the Department of Cannabis Control (Department) adopted on Septem - ber 27, 2021 to make specific licensing and enforce - ment criteria for all commercial cannabis businesses, including: distributors, retailers, microbusinesses, temporary cannabis events, cultivators, manufac - turers, and testing laboratories. These proposed reg - ulations are necessary to implement the Medicinal and Adult–Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act. (Business & Professions Code,

section 26000 et seq.) under one single department, consolidated from three state cannabis licensing programs.

Existing Law On July 12, 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom (Gov - ernor Newsom) signed California Assembly Bill 141, (Chapter 70, Statutes of 2021), which consolidated the former three cannabis licensing authorities — the De- partment of Consumer Affairs’ Bureau of Cannabis Control (Bureau), the Department of Food and Agri - culture’s CalCannabis Cultivation Licensing Division, and the Department of Public Health’s Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch — into a single Department of Cannabis Control (Department) within the Busi - ness, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency.

The newly established Department inherited all the pow - ers, duties, purposes, functions, responsibilities, and jurisdiction of the three separate licensing entities authorized by the Medicinal and Adult–Use Canna - bis Regulatory and Safety Act (MAUCRSA or Act). The Department serves as the single regulatory and enforcement entity for all licensed commercial canna- bis businesses in California. The Department regulates all commercial cannabis license holders in California, including cultivators, retailers, manufacturers, distributors, testing labo - ratories, microbusinesses, and temporary cannabis events.

The Department also manages the state’s track and trace system, used to track cannabis and canna - bis products, from seed to sale, within the commercial cannabis supply chain. In furtherance of these duties, the Department continues to enforce MAUCRSA and all the regulations adopted by the three legacy licens - ing authorities. Previously, the regulations of the three licensing en- tities were in different titles within the CCR, which have since been consolidated under Title 4 of the CCR.

The OAL approved the actions to renumber and re - locate the regulations and filed the actions with the Secretary of State, making the changes effective the same day. Policy Statement This rulemaking action would consolidate, clarify, and make consistent licensing and enforcement crite - ria for commercial cannabis businesses, including cul- tivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, micro - businesses, testing laboratories, and temporary canna- bis events.

These proposed regulations would inform applicants for licensure of the applicable meaning of key statutory terms; identify the documents and sup - plemental information required in an application; and provide specific clarification of terms, prohibitions, or conditions for compliance with MAUCRSA for their particular license type.

Chapter 1 of these proposed regulations contains general provisions that apply to

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 213 all license types, entitled All Licensees.

Chapter 2 ap- plies to Distributors,

Chapter 3 applies to Retailers,

Chapter 4 applies to Microbusinesses,

Chapter 5 ap - plies to Cannabis Events,

Chapter 6 applies to Testing Laboratories,

Chapter 7 applies to Cultivators, and

Chapter 8 applies to Manufacturers. In addition, the regulations include a number of regulatory consid - erations for all license types including

Chapter 9 on Other Responsibilities,

Chapter 10 on Cannabis and Cannabis Products,

Chapter 11 on Labeling and Pack- aging Requirements, and

Chapter 12 on Enforcement. Finally,

Chapter 13 on Other Provisions includes reg - ulations such as those related to university research funding. Regulation Objectives and Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations The broad objectives of these proposed regulations are to consolidate, clarify, or make consistent the com- mercial cannabis regulations. The proposed regula - tions are expected to benefit the health and welfare of California residents. The specific benefits anticipated are increased protection of the public and environment from the harms associated with an unregulated com - mercial cannabis market.

Prior to consolidation and the proposed regulatory amendments, there existed three separate sets of regu- lations. One set applied only to retailers, distributors, testing laboratories, microbusinesses, and temporary cannabis events. The second set of regulations applied only to cultivators. The third set of regulations only applied to manufacturers. Each set of regulations con- tained specific regulatory requirements that were only applicable to specific license types. In some areas, the requirements within each of the three separate sets of regulations were the same.

In other areas, the require - ments differed depending on the license type. The proposed regulations aim to take the three disparate sets of regulations and effectively combine them into one consolidated set of regulations that are applicable to all commercial cannabis license types regulated by the new Department.

This includes eliminating du - plicative requirements that appear in multiple sets of regulations; reorganizing regulatory chapters, articles, and sections in a manner that allows readers to easily identify the sections they are seeking; and clarifying the regulatory text to provide clear guidance regarding the requirements for commercial cannabis licensees while reducing the risk of confusion.

These proposed consolidated regulations will allow commercial cannabis businesses to more easily and ef- fectively identify and understand the requirements for operating a commercial cannabis business within the State of California. By making it easier for commer - cial cannabis businesses to identify and understand these requirements, it is anticipated that the proposed regulations will be more effective in achieving the Department’s primary goal of protecting the public.

Regulations regarding mandatory laboratory testing, informative product labeling, safe product packag - ing, and tracking of cannabis movement through the state will be more effective when they are well orga - nized and easy for commercial cannabis businesses to understand. At the same time, the proposed consolidated regu - lations increase the Department’s ability to effectively regulate commercial cannabis businesses.

A well or - ganized, clearly written, consistent set of consolidated regulations will allow the Department to better edu - cate licensees regarding the rules as well as consistent- ly enforce them in a fair manner. Effective education and enforcement regarding the requirements found in the regulations are essential to the Department’s goal of ensuring that California’s commercial cannabis businesses operate in a manner that benefits the state of California while reducing or eliminating the risks of harm to the people of the state.

The increased clari- ty and efficiency obtained by the proposed consolidat- ed regulations will further increase the Department’s ability to carry out this mission. Moreover, the streamlined and consistent set of reg- ulations allows all of California’s commercial canna - bis businesses to operate more efficiently. This in turn increases the state’s ability to combat the unregulated commercial cannabis market. The unregulated canna - bis market poses a risk of harm to public health and the environment.

The proposed regulations will en - sure that cannabis and cannabis products meet health and safety standards by requiring that samples of each batch of harvested cannabis and cannabis products be tested prior to being sold to consumers. The proposed regulations would also ensure that cannabis goods are sold in a manner that prevents access or diversion of cannabis goods to persons under the age of 21 who do not possess a valid physician’s recommendation.

Streamlining the requirements for operating a legal - ly licensed commercial cannabis business makes the licensed market more available to a wider number of businesses which will strengthen the legal licensed market and weaken the illegal unlicensed market.

Chapter 1: All Licensees The Department was established to create a com - prehensive and coherent regulatory framework for an established industry that was previously regulated by the former Bureau within the Department of Con - sumer Affairs, former CalCannabis Program within the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and former Manufactured Cannabis Safety Branch within the California Department of Public Health. While MAUCRSA provides guidance on the larger macro issues, much of the implementation specifics and clarification of terms were left to the legacy li - censing authorities. These proposed regulations would

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 214 consolidate, clarify, and make consistent terms that have been left to the Department. With a uniform set of

definitions applicable to all Department licensees, these proposed regulations would help all applicants and licensees better understand: (1) the applicable meaning of key statutory and oth - er terms related to the Department’s licensing program; (2) what documents and information are required in an application; and (3) specific clarification of prohibitions, require - ments, or conditions for compliance with MAUCRSA.

Article 1 of the proposed regulations would provide an overview of the division’s

definitions and generally applicable requirements to all licensees. Specifically, the proposed regulations would consolidate, clarify, and make consistent the applicable meaning of key statutory terms and other terms used within the pro - posed regulations that may have previously conflicted. These terms include those relevant to requirements of licensees, such as “cannabis waste,” “edible cannabis product,” “limited access area,” “package,” “whole - sale cost,” and terms related to cannabis in different stages of the supply chain. The

definitions of “imma - ture plant,” manufacture, and tincture have been also amended for clarity. The proposed regulations would consolidate and clarify the general requirements for commercial cannabis activity including licensed premises requirements; commercial cannabis activity between licensees; where commercial cannabis ac - tivity may occur; requirements related to the use of a licensed distributor; requirements related to the non– transferability of licensees; and requirements related to the use of legal business names on all documents related to commercial cannabis activities.

The pro - posed regulations would further consolidate general requirements regarding business conducted between licensees with A– and M– license designations. The proposed regulations would consolidate and make consistent general requirements related to the loca - tion of a premises licensed by the Department.

The proposed regulations would make consistent and clar- ify the regulatory prohibition on subletting licensed premises or a portion of licensed premises, except for shared facilities, as well as a prohibition against in - cluding living areas as part of the licensed premises while allowing a transition period. Additionally, the proposed regulations allow for the use of shipping containers on a licensed premises and require sepa - ration by walls between storage areas and employee areas. The proposed regulations would add require - ments related to the use of appellations of origins.

The proposed regulations would consolidate existing regu- lations regarding a licensee’s responsibility for acts of their employees or agents. The proposed regulations would clarify and make consistent existing require - ments related to age restrictions at a licensed premis - es — clarifying that employees and persons retained to handle cannabis and cannabis products must be at least 21 years of age. In addition, the proposed regula- tions would consolidate, clarify, and make consistent general requirements for the storage of inventory at the licensed premises.

Article 2 of the proposed regulations would clari - fy what information and documents are required to complete an application for provisional and annual li - censure. The proposed regulations would specify the requirements for provisional licensure including what a provisional licensee must do to obtain, and subse - quently maintain their license while in pursuit of their annual license and outline the Department review process for disciplinary action on provisional licens - ees.

The proposed regulations would also outline the annual licensure process by consolidating applica - tion requirements and making them consistent. Such changes would include updating certain application requirements based on the Department’s experience, including removing disclosure requirements for other state commercial cannabis licenses; limiting the type of business formation documents required for submit- tal; and updating labor peace agreement requirements, while maintaining the requirement to provide the sig - nature page of labor peace agreements.

The proposed regulations would move the temporary cannabis event application requirements to this

chapter to consolidate application requirements in one area, while requiring disclosure of all participating licensees and vendors, removing the employee disclosure provision, and re - quiring a limited access area. The proposed regulations would consolidate, clari - fy, and make consistent the definition of “owner” for the purposes of applying for licensure. The proposed regulations would further specify what individuals would be considered owners based on their manage - ment, direction, or control of the commercial cannabis business.

The proposed regulations would consolidate and make consistent financial interest–holder disclo - sure requirements by providing additional examples regarding who constitutes a financial interest–hold - er. The proposed regulations would also clarify the independence of testing laboratories in respect to other licensees. This includes prohibiting common ownership, financial interest–holders, and employees between testing laboratories and other licenses. The proposed regulations also prohibit landlord–tenant re- lationships and discounted services between testing laboratories and other types of licensees.

The proposed regulations would clarify what a premises diagram must show for all licensees, includ - ing cultivators and manufacturers. The proposed reg -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 215 ulations would consolidate, make consistent, and clar- ify landowner approval requirements. The proposed regulations would allow for the use of electronic sig - natures. The proposed regulations would update the current bond form and eliminate the requirement for a separate bond for each license, allowing licensees to utilize one bond with the appropriate amount for all licenses they hold. The proposed regulations would consolidate, clarify, and make consistent current Cal - ifornia Environmental Quality Act review require - ments for all applicants. The proposed regulations would add to the

section on required additional infor - mation for specific license types, that would consoli - date license specific application requirements into one section. The proposed regulations would consolidate, clarify, and make consistent current requirements re - lated to incomplete and abandoned applications. The proposed regulations would consolidate, clarify, and make consistent requirements related to the withdraw- al of applications.

Article 3 of the proposed regulations would pro - vide clarification of special conditions, terms, prohi - bitions, or requirements set forth in MAUCRSA that apply to all license types. The proposed regulations would consolidate all existing fees into one

section of the regulations. The proposed regulations would also consolidate existing requirements related to substan - tially related offenses and criteria for rehabilitation, making them consistent and ensuring that the regu - lations match the current statutory requirements. The proposed regulations would consolidate requirements related to renewal, denial, cancellation, and surren - der of a license and make the requirements consistent between licensees.

The requirements would outline, consolidate and make consistent the procedures for informing the Department of business modifications, or when one of the owners of a licensed premises has died, is incapacitated, or becomes insolvent. The proposed regulations would consolidate and make consistent a licensee’s responsibilities with re - gards to cannabis and cannabis products after the ter - mination of a license.

The proposed regulations would consolidate and make consistent a licensee’s responsi- bilities to notify the Department for events such as the physical modification of a premises, when there is a significant discrepancy in inventory, or when disaster relief is required due to a state of emergency. The pro- posed regulations would also consolidate general re - cordkeeping requirements and specify certain prem - ises requirements applicable only to licensed retailers and microbusinesses authorized to engage in retail.

Article 4 of the proposed regulations contains re - quirements for advertising and marketing. The pro - posed regulations would consolidate and make con - sistent all commercial cannabis advertising and mar - keting provisions, as well as clarify what constitutes advertising and marketing that is attractive to children and would streamline licensee’s ability to sell branded merchandise. The proposed regulations would clarify restrictions on licensee use of giveaways, raffles, or other promotional activities. The proposed regulations would also outline procedures for the designation and transfer of trade samples between licensees.

Article 5 of the proposed regulations contains minimum–security requirements that would apply to all licensees. The proposed regulations would consol - idate security requirements for all license types and clarify that some of the security requirements do not apply to commercial cannabis cultivators. MACURSA requires that all cannabis and cannabis products be tracked throughout the supply chain. Ar - ticle 6 of the proposed regulations would consolidate and clarify the requirements for using the track and trace system and reporting the movement of cannabis and cannabis products in the system for all licensees.

The proposed regulations would also identify the re - sponsibilities of the designated account manager and outline general tag requirements related to track and trace activities.

Chapter 2: Distributors The proposed distributor regulations would accom - plish three goals: (1) ensure that cannabis and cannabis products are properly stored, handled, packaged, and tested; (2) ensure that distributors keep and maintain re - cords that are adequate to effectively track and trace the cannabis and cannabis products, thereby assuring that cannabis and cannabis products are safe for use by the consumer prior to distribution for retail sale; and (3) ensure cannabis and cannabis products are trans - ported in a safe and secure manner.

With these goals in mind, the overall purpose of the pro - posed regulations is to identify the minimum re - quirements for holding a state distributor license. The proposed regulations would remove references to general packaging and labeling requirements as they are being consolidated in

Chapter 11 of the Depart - ment’s regulations. The proposed regulations would allow for cannabis goods to be distributed directly from a premises only providing storage. The proposed regulations would allow the certificate of analysis to be provided electronically and clarify requirements for failed batches or are not fit for sale. The proposed regulations would clarify what constitutes evidence for proof of ownership of transport vehicles, who must own the vehicles, and the requirements for the vehicles. The proposed regulations would eliminate any reference to distributor application and record - keeping requirements as they are being consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations. Finally,

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 216 the proposed regulations would remove references to temporary licensees, as the Department does not have the ability to issue such licenses anymore.

Chapter 3: Retailers

Chapter 3 of the proposed regulations would clarify requirements for licensed commercial cannabis retail- ers. Retailers provide commercial cannabis goods to customers who are the end users of cannabis and can - nabis goods. Under MAUCRSA, the Department is responsible for establishing the rules for the operation of commercial cannabis retailers. The overall purpose of the proposed regulations is to lay out the minimum requirements for holding a state license to operate a commercial retail premises. The proposed regulations are necessary as retailers engage directly with the con- sumer and the public.

Collectively, the proposed reg - ulations ensure that retailers follow MAUCRSA retail supply chain requirements; protect public health and safety; and limit the risk of diversion. The proposed regulations would remove existing discussions regarding labeling of live plants, as gen - eral packaging and labeling requirements are being consolidated in

Chapter 11 of the Department’s regu - lations. The proposed regulations would provide addi- tional clarification regarding a retail licensee’s sale of branded merchandise to ensure consistency through - out the Department’s regulations. The proposed reg - ulations would clarify and make consistent the maxi - mum immature plant sizes for sale at retail. The pro - posed regulations include requirements for providing free cannabis goods to medicinal patients. The pro - posed regulations would allow for curbside delivery at storefront retailers.

The proposed regulations would clarify that commercial cannabis delivery drivers may also deliver branded merchandise and cannabis acces- sories, can carry up to $10,000 in cannabis goods, and use vehicles with fewer requirements. The proposed regulations would clarify the existing provisions re - garding retail to retail transfers of cannabis goods. The proposed regulations would allow the sale of non– cannabis, non–alcoholic pre–packaged food and clar - ify that outside food and beverages may delivered to a consumption lounge.

Finally, the proposed regulations would remove existing discussions regarding record - keeping requirements, as they are being consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations.

Chapter 4: Microbusinesses Under MAUCRSA, a microbusiness license allows a licensee to conduct multiple commercial cannabis activities under one license. A microbusiness licens - ee is permitted to: cultivate cannabis on an area less than 10,000 square feet; act as a licensed distributor; manufacture cannabis as a Level 1 manufacturer; and/ or sell cannabis as a retailer. The overall purpose of the Department’s proposed regulations is to lay out the minimum requirements for holding a state license to operate a microbusiness, including ensuring that the MAUCRSA supply chain requirements are adhered to.

The proposed regulations would eliminate all dis - cussion of application requirements for microbusi - nesses in this chapter, as application requirements for all Department licensees have been consolidat - ed in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations. The proposed regulations would also clarify that distributor–transport only activities would be consid - ered a qualifying activity for the purposes of obtaining a microbusiness license. Finally, the proposed regula - tions have eliminated reference to recordkeeping re - quirements, as they are being consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations.

Chapter 5: Cannabis Events Under MAUCRSA, state temporary event licenses may be issued, authorizing onsite cannabis sales to, and consumption by, persons 21 years of age or older at a location approved by the local jurisdiction, pro - vided that certain conditions are met, including that all participants are licensed. The overall purpose of the proposed regulations is to lay out the minimum re- quirements for the operation of a temporary cannabis event, licensed by the Department. The proposed regulations would eliminate both cannabis event organizer and temporary cannabis event application requirements, as the application re - quirements for all licensees have been consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations. The pro - posed amendments provide for the disclosure of all participants, what each participant will sell, identifi - cation of licensee employees by badges, requirements for display of cannabis and cannabis products by non– retail licensees, and limited–access areas.

Chapter 6: Testing Laboratories Under MAUCRSA, all cannabis and cannabis prod- ucts must meet certain health and safety standards before they can be sold to customers. To ensure that cannabis and cannabis products meet those standards, a representative sample of the cannabis and cannabis products must be tested by a licensed testing laborato- ry. Through the proposed regulations, the Department aims to ensure that cannabis goods sold to customers are safe for human consumption. The Department also aims to ensure that customers receive accurate infor - mation regarding the cannabis and cannabis products they consume. The proposed regulations remove conflicting or du- plicative

definitions, as

definitions that are applicable to all the Department’s licensees have been consoli - dated in

Chapter 1. Moreover, the proposed regulations eliminate appli- cation requirements for testing laboratories from this chapter, as application requirements for all licensees have been consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Depart - ment’s regulations. The proposed regulations clarify

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 217 that laboratories can test items not regulated by the Department and contain recordkeeping requirements. The proposed regulations clarify evidence that the De- partment will consider as establishing proof of own - ership of vehicles used for transporting samples and contains requirements for vehicles carrying samples. The proposed regulations remove language regarding the phase–in of testing requirements, as the date that certain tests were phased–in has already passed and this language is no longer necessary.

The proposed regulations amend language regarding the testing of tinctures containing alcohol for consistency through - out the Department’s regulations. The proposed regulations clarify the variance for edible cannabis products to ensure consistency with statutory require - ments. The proposed regulations have added a provi - sion clarifying how testing laboratory licensees may submit a request to amend their certificates of analysis. Finally, the proposed regulations have eliminated reference to recordkeeping requirements in this chap - ter, as they are being consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations.

Chapter 7: Cultivators Cultivators grow all cannabis plants that en - ter the commercial cannabis supply chain. Under MAUCRSA, a cultivation license is required for the planting, growing, harvesting, drying, curing, grad - ing, or trimming of cannabis. Through the proposed regulations, the Department aims to ensure that culti - vators follow MAUCRSA supply chain requirements; protect public health and safety as a part of their culti- vation practices; and limit the risk of diversion. The proposed regulations remove language regard - ing application requirements, fees, and general re - quirements, as this information has been consolidated for all licensees in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s reg- ulations. The proposed regulations clarify that canna - bis and cannabis products derived from plants grown in designated research and development areas cannot enter the commercial cannabis market or be trans - ferred off the premises. The proposed regulations clar- ify that lights used for both safety and security shall be shielded downward. The proposed regulations provide clarification regarding greenhouse gas calculation and reporting requirements.

The proposed regulations re - quire seed, immature plants or propagated material received as trade samples be cultivated in a dedicated canopy that is included in the aggregate canopy. The proposed regulations clarify canopy, cultivation plan, and pest management plan requirements. The pro - posed regulations clarify that lights must be shielded from sunset to sunrise for both indoor cultivation and mixed light cultivation. Finally, the proposed regula - tions have eliminated reference to recordkeeping re - quirements in this chapter, as they are being consol - idated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations.

Chapter 8: Manufacturers Under MAUCRSA, a manufacturing license is re - quired to compound, blend, extract, infuse, package, label, or otherwise make or prepare a cannabis prod - uct. Manufacturers generally extract cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis plants and make products out of the extract, including edible products, vape car- tridges, lotions, balms, lozenges, sublingual sprays, pills, tablets, dab, shatter, and wax.

The proposed regulations are intended to ensure that manufacturers follow the MAUCRSA supply chain requirements and protect public health and safety in their production of cannabis products for consumption. The proposed regulations clarify general require - ments for extraction and post–extraction require - ments by consolidating current legal and regulatory requirements into one section. The proposed regu - lations clarify the requirements related to batch pro - duction records that are produced every time a batch of cannabis product is manufactured, or a batch of cannabis product is remediated.

The proposed regu - lations provide further clarification regarding when written procedures are required for cannabis product components. The proposed regulations clarify that manufacturing licensees must adhere to closed–loop extraction system laws for verification and that they must be certified prior to use. The provisions related to ethanol have been clarified. Finally, the proposed regulations eliminated reference to general licensure requirements in this chapter, such as written personnel procedures and recordkeeping requirements, as these provisions are being consolidated in

Chapter 1 of the Department’s regulations.

Chapter 9: Other Responsibilities This

chapter of the proposed regulations would iden- tify and consolidate other generally applicable respon- sibilities for Department licensees. The proposed reg - ulations would clarify what requirements Department licensees must satisfy when using weighing devices. The proposed regulations would identify Department licensees’ responsibilities related to cannabis waste management at their licensed premises. The proposed regulations would outline procedures that licensees must adhere to when they receive product complaints.

Further, the proposed regulations would establish guidelines for both voluntary and mandatory recalls of cannabis and cannabis products that are determined to be misbranded or adulterated.

Chapter 10: Cannabis and Cannabis Products The proposed regulations would consolidate re - quirements for cannabis and cannabis products. Spe - cifically,

Article 1 of the proposed regulations would enumerate standards for manufactured cannabis prod- ucts. The proposed regulations would remove caffeine from the list of prohibited additives. The proposed

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 218 regulations would identify types of products that shall not be sold as cannabis products. The proposed reg - ulations would identify the requirements for edible cannabis products, including serving sizes. The pro - posed regulations would identify certain requirements for topical cannabis products, concentrates, and other cannabis products. Additionally, the proposed regula - tions would identify dosing mechanisms that may be used to package orally–consumed products containing alcohol and tinctures. The proposed regulations would add additional requirements for inhaled products.

Article 2 of the proposed regulations would describe cannabinoid concentration limits related to THC. Ar - ticle 3 of the proposed regulation would describe the process that licensees may follow to remediate can - nabis products that have failed regulatory compliance testing.

Chapter 11: Labeling and Packaging Requirements The proposed regulations would specify the label - ing and packaging considerations for all department licensees. Specifically,

Article 1 of the proposed reg - ulations would provide the labeling and packaging re- quirements for bulk cannabis and cannabis products, live plants, and seeds.

Article 2 of the proposed reg - ulations would provide that cannabis product must be labeled and packaged in its final form prior to release to a licensed distributor.

Article 3 of the proposed regulations would enumerate labeling requirements for all cannabis and cannabis products, including re - quirements for primary panel labeling, information - al panel labeling, labeling restrictions, and universal symbol requirements. Additionally,

Article 4 of the proposed regulations provides an overview of general packaging requirements and child–resistant packag - ing requirements, as well as packaging requirements for tinctures.

Chapter 12: Enforcement Under the MAUCRSA, the Department has the au - thority to create, issue, deny, renew, suspend, revoke, place on probation with terms and conditions, or oth - erwise discipline a licensee for any acts or omissions constituting grounds for disciplinary action. The De - partment is responsible for establishing the regulatory framework for disciplinary action for certain licensed and unlicensed commercial cannabis activities.

The proposed regulations establish the overarching frame- work for which the Department will initiate or under - take enforcement action, including disciplinary action for all licensees. Enforcement of MAUCRSA is essential to carrying out the duties of the Department in ensuring the pro - tection of the public as the highest priority. The proposed regulations would consolidate and clarify the enforcement provisions applicable to all Department licensees, as well as make consistent the Department’s enforcement procedures and disci - plinary guidelines.

Disciplinary guidelines, including proposed penalties and fines, would be consolidated as a part of the proposed regulations.

Chapter 13: Other Provisions Revenue and Taxation Code

section 34019, sub -

section (b), provides that a sum of ten million dollars ($10,000,000), will be disbursed annually to public universities in California, beginning with the 2018– 2019 fiscal year until the 2028–2029 fiscal year, to research and evaluate the implementation and effect of the Act. While the Revenue and Taxation Code provides the Department the authority to select the universities that will be eligible for this disbursement, much of the implementation specifics were left to the Department. The proposed regulations would relocate the regulations currently in place from

Chapter 8 to

Chapter 13. Incorporated by Reference The following documents are incorporated into the regulations by reference: Department of Cannabis Control Disciplinary Guidelines for All Commercial Cannabis Licenses, Amended February 2022.

The following forms are incorporated into the regulations by reference: DCC–LIC–019 Standard Operating Procedures (New 2/22) DCC–LIC–021 Sampling Standard Operating Pro - cedures (Amended 2/22) DCC–LIC–022 Sample Preparation Operating Pro - cedures Form (Amended 2/22) DCC–LIC–023 Test Methods Operating Procedures Form (Amended 2/22) DCC–LIC–024 Data Package Cover Page and Checklist (Amended 2/22) DCC–LIC–027 Notification and Request Form (Amended 2/22) DCC–LIC–028 Licensee Notification and Request Form, Notifications and Requests Regarding Regula - tory Compliance (New 2/22) DCC–LIC–029 Licensee Notification and Request Form, Notifications and Requests Regarding Testing Laboratories (New 2/22) Evaluation of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: As required by Government (Gov.) Code

section 11346.5(a)(3)(D), the Department has conducted an evaluation of these proposed regulations and has de - termined that they are not inconsistent or incompati - ble with existing regulations. Evaluation of Inconsistency with Federal Regulation Statute The United States Drug Enforcement Administra - tion (DEA) under the Controlled Substances Act lists cannabis as a

Schedule 1 Drug. This means that com -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 219 mercial cannabis activity is illegal under federal law. However, California, through the MAUCRSA and other laws, has decriminalized the cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis and cannabis products for persons aged 21 or older and for medicinal patients. Plain English Requirement Department staff prepared these proposed regula - tions pursuant to the standard of clarity provided in Gov. Code

section 11349 and the plain English require- ments of Gov. Code sections 11342.580 and 11346.2, subsection (a)(1). The proposed regulations are written to be easily understood by the persons that will use them. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department has made the following initial determinations: Local mandate: There will be no local mandate. Cost to any local agency or school district requiring reimbursement pursuant to Gov. Code

section 17500, et seq: None. Any other non–discretionary cost or savings im - posed upon local agencies: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. Effect on Housing Costs: The proposed regulations will have no fiscal or other effect upon housing in the state. Significant Statewide Adverse Economic Impact Directly Affecting Businesses: The Department has determined there will not be a significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business - es, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

Small Business Determination: The Department has determined that the proposed regulations will not affect small business. The proposed regulations con - solidate the existing regulatory requirements from the three former regulatory agencies. The require - ments for operating a commercial cannabis business will generally remain the same under the consolidated regulations. Cost Impacts on a Representative Private Person or Business: The Department is not aware of any cost im- pacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS/ASSESSMENT The proposed regulations will consolidate the reg - ulations from the three former commercial cannabis regulatory agencies. This consolidation will bring all the regulations into one place within one unified regu- latory agency. This will result in added clarity, consis- tently, and efficiency across all commercial cannabis business requirements. As such, many of the existing requirements applicable to commercial cannabis busi- nesses remain the same. The Department does not anticipate the creation or elimination of jobs or businesses within the state.

The Department does not anticipate the proposed regula - tions to have an effect or impact on the creation of new businesses or the expansion or elimination of existing businesses within the state. As stated under “Regula - tion Objectives and Anticipated Benefits of the Pro - posed Regulations” above, the consolidation of these regulations will benefit the health and welfare of Cal - ifornia residents by allowing the Department to better educate licensees as well as provide for consistent and fair enforcement.

The Department does not anticipate the proposed regulations will affect worker safety or the state’s environment. The proposed regulations are to consolidate and clarify the existing regulations for the former commercial cannabis regulatory agencies.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The Department must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the ac- tion is proposed, would be as effective and less bur - densome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected pri- vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The Department invites interested persons to pres - ent statements or arguments with respect to alter - natives during the written comment period or at the hearing.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 221 By mail to Sarah Money, Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board, 2520 Venture Oaks Way, Suite 350, Sacramento, CA 95833; or By fax at (916) 274–5743; or By email sent to oshsb@dir.ca.gov. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Labor Code

section 142.3 establishes the Board as the only agency in the State authorized to adopt oc - cupational safety and health standards. In addition, Labor Code

section 142.3 requires the adoption of oc- cupational safety and health standards that are at least as effective as federal occupational safety and health standards. The proposed regulations implement, in - terpret, and make specific Labor Code

section 2440 which requires all employers comply with standards relating to the ready availability of medical services and first aid adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board, pursuant to

Chapter 6 (com - mencing with

section 140) of Division 1 of the Labor Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST OF PROPOSED ACTION/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW This proposed rulemaking results from an advisory committee convened at the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board’s (Board) request to consider Petition No. 519. This Petition requested that the re - quirement for approval of all first–aid kits by a con - sulting physician be removed.

The Petitioner stated it would be very difficult for consulting physicians to be sufficiently familiar with the wide variety of possi- ble worksite specific injury and illness risks to make knowledgeable decisions on appropriate and neces - sary first–aid kit contents. The Petitioner noted that Construction Safety Orders (CSO),

section 1512(

c) contains a list of minimal first–aid kit materials as an alternative to consulting physician input and called for a similar list to be provided in the General Industry Safety Orders (GISO). On March 17, 2011, the Board granted the Petition and referred the Petitioner’s pro - posal to a representative advisory committee for con - sideration. The Board instructed the advisory com - mittee to examine the issues raised by Petition No. 519 and review and revise the required first–aid supplies listed in

section 1512(c). The advisory committee met on June 29, 2011. The advisory committee was broadly composed of em - ployee and employer representatives from the gener - al industry and the construction industry, as well as technical experts in such fields as occupational med - icine and emergency medical services and first aid. The committee decided the regulation should make the following clear: 1. The employer is responsible for thoroughly as - sessing the work environment for injury risks; 2.

First–aid materials that are appropriate for the injury risks that are present in the work environ - ment must be provided whether or not outside first–aid experts have been consulted. The advisory committee discussed what items should or should not be included in a minimum first– aid kit. The committee also agreed that a minimal list of first–aid supplies would not be adequate for all workplaces, and that the changes to the standard should make clear that an employer’s adoption of the proposed minimum list of supplies must still follow a workplace assessment of need.

The committee also discussed the Petitioner’s contention that it was diffi - cult to obtain consulting physician input into first aid matters, but experiences differed on this point. In March 2013, the Division sent a copy of the pro - posed changes to

section 3400(

c) to all advisory com- mittee attendees and interested parties. This proposed rulemaking reflects both minor word changes and cor- rections to

section 3400 suggested by the responses to the March 2013 transmittal and changes to the table in

section 1512 that had been discussed at the advisory committee meeting on June 29, 2011. A synopsis of the proposed changes is as follows:

Section 1512. Emergency Medical Services. The proposal revises the title of

section 1512 from “Emergency Medical Services” to “Medical Services and First Aid” to accurately portray the contents of the

section and to be consistent with the title of

section 3400, “Medical Services and First Aid.” Subsection (c). First–Aid Kit.

Section 1512(c)(1) currently requires employers on construction projects to ensure availability of appro - priately stocked and maintained first–aid kits. This subsection also currently requires that the minimum first–aid supplies be determined by an employer– authorized, licensed physician, or, alternatively, in ac- cordance with a table included in the subsection. This proposed rulemaking revises the existing table of minimum first–aid kit supplies of

section 1512(c)(1). It is proposed to include the phrase “and other materi- als” by removing six current items (safety pins, scis - sors, forceps, emesis basins, portable oxygen and its breathing equipment, and tongue depressors) from the table. These items are no longer considered appropri - ate or essential for the modern practice of first aid, and are not always stocked by the vendors of first–aid kits. Four new items [medical exam gloves, single–use antibiotic treatment, single–use antiseptic application, and single–use CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) disposable barrier device] are proposed to be added to the table of

section 1512(c)(1) for consistency with the table proposed in

section 3400(c)(3) and because these

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 222 items are considered necessary for the modern prac - tice of first aid. All the additional items are also cur - rently recommended to be included in first–aid kits in American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z308.1 Standard: Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits and Supplies, and as a result are available in most commercially available first–aid kits. Additionally, two of the new items proposed to be added to the table of

section 1512(c)(1), medical exam gloves and CPR disposable barrier devices are current- ly required by GISO,

section 5193, Bloodborne Patho- gens, because of the risk of transmission of blood - borne infection during the treatment of cuts, scrapes, open wounds, or other first–aid measures that expose employees to potentially infectious bodily fluids. The proposed first–aid supplies added to the

section 1512(

c) table are required in the first–aid kit regardless of the number of employees in an establishment. To indicate this, an “X” is included in each existing col - umn of the table, as each existing column represents a different number of employees in an establishment. In the table of

section 1512(c)(1), revisions are pro- posed to numerically list all the first–aid supplies in this table. The Board proposes to delete an existing phrase re - quiring additional equipment in adequate quantities consisting of items following the first asterisk in the existing

section 1512(c)(1) table in order to be consis- tent with revised

section 3400 and to make it clear that the requirement to maintain adequate supplies applies to all first–aid kit items, not just the ones appearing above the asterisk. Therefore, it is proposed to include the phrase “and other materials” between the word “Dressings” and the phrase “in adequate quantities consisting of:” to clarify that the following is a list of first aid supplies and not just dressings. The Board also proposes to delete the second ex - isting asterisk with its explanation located at the end of the table of first–aid supplies in

section 1512(c)(1) that states “To be readily available but not necessarily within the first–aid kit”. This asterisk, with its expla - nation, was meant to address the storage of currently required first–aid kit supplies (portable oxygen tanks) that would be too large to fit within most commercial- ly available first–aid cabinets. In the proposed revised table, this asterisk with its explanation is superfluous because the portable oxygen tank requirement is being removed, and all first–aid kit elements that will be re - quired will fit in standard first–aid kit containers. Subsection (c)(3).

Section 1512(c)(3) currently requires that drugs, medicines, and similar medically related prepara - tions are not to be included in first–aid kits unless specifically approved, in writing, by an employer– authorized, licensed physician. The Board proposes to add antiseptics to the table in

section 1512(c)(1) as a mandatory item in the first–aid kit and delete them from

section 1512(c)(3) to be con- sistent with the first–aid kit requirements contained in

section 3400. The Board proposes to delete eye irrigation solu - tions from

section 1512(c)(3). Eye irrigation solutions cannot serve as a replacement for eye wash stations (required by GISO,

section 5162) needed to flush chemical splashes from the eyes. In many instances, eye irrigation solutions can worsen a chemical splash, so these solutions must not be included in first–aid supplies.

Section 3400. Medical Services and First Aid. Subsection (c).

Section 3400(

c) currently requires all employers to ensure the availability of adequate first–aid kits ap - proved by a consulting physician. This proposal revises

section 3400(

c) by moving the existing requirement that first–aid kits be approved by a consulting physician to an optional provision in new subsection (3) of

section 3400(c). The proposal also clarifies the existing requirement that employers are responsible for ensuring the adequacy of first–aid materials for their workplace based upon the size of the workplace and the type of hazards found within it. The following non–substantive changes to the exist- ing text of subsection (

c) are proposed to improve clar- ity. The second sentence is re–designated as a separate subsection (1) and the third sentence is re–designated as a separate subsection (2). New proposed subsection (c)(3) allows employ - ers to use first–aid kits approved by an employer– authorized, licensed physician similar to the existing requirement or to use, at a minimum, a new proposed table of first–aid materials. The employers shall evalu- ate the need for additional first–aid kits and additional types and quantities of first–aid equipment and sup - plies based on the size of their business and the haz - ards involved.

The proposed table lists the minimum type and quantity of first–aid materials suitable for a workplace without unusual first–aid needs. This list is the same as the ANSI Z308.1 list of minimum materi- als, except that burn ointment and a first–aid manual are omitted from the proposed list. Two new “notes” are added to this section. The first “note” informs employers that the use of certain haz - ardous chemicals in the workplace may require addi - tional first–aid materials be included in a first–aid kit for the contents to be considered adequate.

It further states that employers may need to assess other factors when determining the contents of the first–aid kits. The second “note” reminds employers with hazardous chemicals in the workplace of an existing requirement in GISO,

section 5194(h), Hazard Communication, that information on first–aid treatment of hazardous

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 223 chemical exposures must be included as part of em - ployee information and training. The Board evaluated the proposed regulations pur - suant to Government Code

section 11346.5(a)(3)(

D) and has determined that the regulations are not in - consistent or incompatible with existing state regula - tions. This proposal is part of a comprehensive sys - tem of occupational safety and health regulations.

The consistency and compatibility of that system’s com - ponent regulations is provided by such things as: (1) the requirement of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Labor Code that state regulations be at least as effective as their federal counterparts, and (2) the requirement that all state oc - cupational safety and health rulemaking be channeled through a single entity (the Standards Board). This proposal is at least as effective as the equiv - alent federal standards in Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations,

section 1910.151 (general industry) and

section 1926.50 (construction industry) published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Anticipated Benefits

Section 1512. Emergency Medical Services. By modernizing the table of minimum first–aid sup- plies upon which construction employers may rely to stock workplace first–aid kits, the proposed changes to

section 1512(

c) make it easier for construction em - ployers to be in compliance with the regulation. The proposed changes also remove requirements to stock certain items that are no longer considered necessary for the modern practice of first aid.

Section 3400. Medical Services and First Aid. These proposed revisions to

section 3400(

c) will make it easier for employers to comply with the regu- lation. Employers without unusual first–aid needs can comply with this regulation without engaging the ser - vices of a consulting physician to determine first–aid kit contents and use the new proposed table in

section 3400(c). Employers with unusual first–aid needs may continue to use the existing requirement to have a con- sulting physician approve their first–aid kits. Employ- ees will be safer because the proposed revisions clarify the existing requirement that employers must evaluate the risks of injury and illness in the workplace in order to make decisions about first–aid kit contents. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION Mandate on Local Agencies and School Districts: None.

Cost or Savings to State Agencies: Depending on the function of the agency, costs and savings will be similar to the impacts described below for general industry or construction industry employers. Cost to Any Local Government or School District Which Must be Reimbursed in Accordance with Government Code Sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other Nondiscretionary Cost or Savings Imposed on Local Agencies: Depending on the function of the agency, costs and savings will be similar to the impacts described below for general industry or construction industry employers.

Cost or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None. Cost Impacts on a Representative Private Person or Business: This proposal will not have a significant adverse economic impact on businesses. For construction businesses, the proposed changes to

section 1512 remove costly items from the exist - ing list of first–aid items that are no longer used in first–aid treatment. The proposal adds items to the list that are typically included in commercially available first–aid kits. Construction employers may also con - tinue to use existing first–aid kits as determined by an employer–authorized, licensed physician, as there are no proposed changes to this option. The cost to existing small construction employers to upgrade to the first–aid kit contents required in this proposal is estimated to be about $6.

A typical con - struction employer with average number of employees will need more kits; these employers incur about $51 in costs to upgrade to the proposal’s kit contents. A new small construction business will incur about $39 in costs while a new typical construction business will incur approximately $150 in costs. For general industry, the proposed changes to sec - tion 3400 will provide a second option to employers in determining the contents of their first–aid kits.

Ex - isting employers may continue to use existing first– aid kits as determined by an employer–authorized, licensed physician without incurring new costs. Em - ployers without unusual first–aid needs may choose the second option to use a first–aid kit consisting of a list of items typically found in commercially available first–aid kits at a cost of $11.81 per kit. A new small business in general industry will incur approximately $37 in costs while a typical general industry business will incur about $201 in costs.

For both construction and general industries, ongo - ing costs of the proposal will be minimal and limited to the employer’s need to restock kit contents as items are used or expire.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 224 Statewide Adverse Economic Impact Directly Affecting Businesses and Individuals, Including the Ability of California Businesses to Compete: The Board has made an initial determination that this proposal will not result in a significant, state - wide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses/individuals, including the ability of Cali - fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states. Employers in all states are currently required to supply and maintain first–aid materials.

The types and quantities of first–aid supplies that employers must purchase and supply are not significantly changed by this proposal. Based upon a review of commercially available first–aid materials and first–aid kits, most businesses will experience cost savings or no change in expenditures on first–aid materials as a result of this proposal. For construction businesses, the proposal removes items from the existing list of required first–aid items that are no longer recommended or used for first–aid treatment.

Any items added to the construction list are of similar or lower cost to the ones removed, and are already typically included in the first–aid kits employ- ers currently purchase. For general industry, employers may continue to fol- low the existing requirement of having a consulting physician determine the contents of their first–aid kits. The proposal will allow a second alternative for em - ployers without unusual first–aid needs who elect not to use a physician.

These employers will be able to rely on a brief consensus list of inexpensive first–aid items that are less in number and expense than are found in typical first–aid kits available for purchase. Significant Affect on Housing Costs: None. SMALL BUSINESS DETERMINATION The Board has determined that the proposed amend- ments may affect small businesses. However, no eco - nomic impact is anticipated. Small business employers are currently required to provide and maintain first– aid supplies.

The types and quantities of first–aid sup- plies that businesses must purchase and supply are not significantly changed by this proposal. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS The proposed regulations will not have any effect on the creation or elimination of California jobs or the creation of new businesses or the elimination of ex - isting California businesses or affect the expansion of existing California businesses.

There will be no significant adverse economic im - pact on businesses as a result of this proposal because the types and quantities of first–aid supplies that busi- nesses must purchase and supply is not significantly changed by this proposal. For general industry, em - ployers will no longer be obligated to engage the ser - vices of a consulting physician to advise on first–aid kit contents. Instead, these employers will be able to rely on a brief consensus list of inexpensive first–aid items that are less in number and expense than are found in typical commercially available first–aid kits.

For construction businesses, the proposal removes items from the existing list of required first–aid items that are no longer recommended or used for first–aid treatment. Any items added to the construction list are of similar or lower cost to the ones removed, and are already typically included in the first–aid kits employ- ers currently purchase. This proposal clarifies the requirements for provi - sion of first–aid supplies, making it easier for employ- ers to comply.

Workers in California will benefit by the proposal because first–aid kits on the job will be more likely to be adequately provisioned than currently. BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED ACTION By clarifying the requirements for first–aid kit con - tents and making it easier for employers to clearly understand the requirements, the proposed changes will improve the rate at which first–aid kits are ini - tially provided to the workplace and will help ensure the kits are adequately provisioned. General industry employers choosing to no longer seek the advice of a consulting physician may save an average of $100.

Therefore, the proposed regulations will benefit the health and welfare of California residents and worker safety. It is not anticipated that the regulations will af- fect the state’s environment CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

Section 11346.5(a)(13), the Board must determine that no rea- sonable alternative it considered to the regulations or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would either be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed or would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons or would be more cost–effective to af- fected private persons and equally effective in imple - menting the statutory policy or other provision of law than the proposal described in this Notice.

The Board invites interested persons to present statements or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations at the scheduled public hearing or during the written comment period.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 226 AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority: Sections 30452 and 30470, Penal Code. Reference: Sections 28180, 28220, 30400, 30405, 30406, 30412, 30414, 30442, 30445, 30447, 30448, 30450, 30452, 30454, 30470, 30485, 30490, and 30495, Penal Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW

Summary of Existing Laws and Regulations: Existing law generally limits the sale of ammuni - tion to the following: (1) a person whose information matches an entry in the Automated Firearms System and who is eligible to possess ammunition; (2) a per - son who has a current Certificate of Eligibility issued by the Department; or (3) a person who purchases or transfers the ammunition in a single ammunition transaction, as specified. Existing law generally re - quires the sale or transfer of ammunition to be con - ducted through a licensed ammunition vendor.

In 2019, the Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 879 (Ch. 730, Stats. 2019) to require firearm precursor parts to be sold/transferred through a licensed firearm precursor

part vendor in a similar process to the laws governing ammunition purchases. It would further create a registry of these parts and a new crime for, among other things, the transfer of firearm precursor parts without the involvement of a licensed firearm precursor parts vendor.

Commencing July 1, 2022, state law will generally limit the sale of firearm precursor parts to: (1) an indi- vidual who is exempt from Department approval; (2) an individual whose information matches an entry in the Automated Firearms System and who is eligible to possess a firearm; (3) an individual who has a valid Certificate of Eligibility issued by the Department; or (4) an individual who purchases or transfers the fire - arm precursor

part in a single transaction and is eligi - ble to possess a firearm. It will also require the trans - fer or sale of firearm precursor parts to be conducted by a licensed firearm precursor

part vendor. Effect of the Proposed Rulemaking: The proposed regulations will establish a process for the Department to authorize the purchase or transfer of firearm precursor parts; what to do if an attempted purchase or transfer is denied; and what is needed to establish that a purchaser or transferee is exempt from Department approval. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations: Generally, these regulations protect public health and safety by implementing an authorization program for the transfer or sale of firearm precursor parts.

Cur- rently, people who are prohibited from possessing a firearm and are therefore not able to purchase a fire - arm from a licensed firearm dealer can instead pur - chase firearm precursor parts off the Internet and build a homemade firearm. By implementing an eligibility check process for firearm precursor parts, these reg - ulations help keep firearms out of the hands of those who are prohibited from possessing firearms. Comparable Federal Regulations: There are no existing federal regulations or statutes comparable to these proposed regulations.

Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: The Department has determined that these proposed regulations are not inconsistent or incompatible with existing state 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 firearm precursor parts. Forms Incorporated by Reference: Firearm Precursor

Part Vendor (Non–Firearms Dealer or Ammunition Vendor) Application for Tele - phonic Vendor Approval, BOF 1107 (Original 09/2021) Other Statutory Requirements: None. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department’s Initial Determinations: Mandate on local agencies or school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: Th e D e p a rt- ment estimates that its costs to implement the firearm precursor part authorization program will be between $223,000 in the first 12 months subsequent to imple - mentation of the regulation.

The Department will re - cover some of its costs from background check fees that will be paid by firearm precursor part purchasers and transferees. The Department anticipates that the background check fees will generate annual revenue in the amount of $20,000 to $50,000. Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None.

Cost impacts on representative person or business: Purchasers or transferees of firearm precursor parts will be subject to a background check fee of $1. The cost impact of the fee on an individual will depend on how many times the individual purchases or accepts transfers of firearms precursor parts. The Department estimates it will take an addition - al two minutes to complete the sale or purchase of a firearm precursor part. Assuming the additional staff time costs at least $14 per hour, the Department es -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 227 timates each firearm precursor part transaction will cost firearm precursor

part vendors an additional $0.47 per transaction in staff time. The additional cost per transaction is estimated to result in a yearly cost to individual firearm precursor

part vendor businesses of between $5.17 and $12.69 each year. Significant effect on housing costs: None. Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di - rectly affecting businesses, including ability to com - pete: The Department has made an initial determina - tion that the proposed action will not have a signifi - cant, statewide adverse economic impact directly af - fecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

Results of the Economic Impact Assessment (EIA): The Department has determined that it is (1) unlike- ly that the proposal will create or eliminate jobs within the state, (2) unlikely that the proposal will create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within the state, and (3) unlikely that the proposal will result in the expansion of businesses currently doing business within the state. The Department also concludes that:

(1) The proposal would benefit the health and wel - fare of California residents by implementing an authorization program for the transfer and sale of firearm precursor parts. Currently, people who are prohibited from possessing a firearm and are therefore not able to purchase a firearm from a licensed firearm dealer can instead purchase fire- arm precursor parts off the Internet and build a homemade firearm. By implementing an eligi - bility check process for firearm precursor parts, these regulations help keep firearms out of the hands of those who are prohibited from possess - ing firearms.

(2) The proposal would benefit worker safety insofar as these regulations may prevent workplace fire - arm violence committed by individuals prohibit - ed from possessing firearms.

(3) The proposal would not benefit the state’s envi - ronment because it does not change any applica - ble environmental standards. Business report requirement: None. Small business determination: The Department has determined that the proposed action affects small businesses. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), the Department must de- termine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Department or that has been brought to the atten - tion of the Department would be more effective in car- rying out the purpose for which the action is proposed or would be as effective and less burdensome to affect- ed private persons than the proposed action or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The Department has determined that the proposed regulations are the most effective way to implement a background check approval process for firearm pre - cursor part purchases and transfers. The proposed regulations are modeled after existing regulations governing eligibility check approvals for ammunition purchases and transfers. By modeling existing pro - cesses, the proposed regulations efficiently implement the authorization program mandated, and authorized, by Penal Code

section 30470, in a way that is already familiar to the regulated community.

TITLE 13. CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL AMEND TITLE 13, CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, DIVISION 2,

CHAPTER 6,

ARTICLE 1,

SECTION 1153 EXPLOSIVES STOPS (CHP–R–2022–06202) The California Highway Patrol (CHP) proposes to amend regulations in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR),

Section 1153, Safe Stopping and Parking Places, related to the designation of safe stopping places, safe parking places, inspection stops, and required inspection stops for commercial vehicles transporting explosives on highways in the state. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Pursuant to

Section 31616, Designation of Routes, of the California Vehicle Code (CVC), the CHP shall pre- scribe, by regulation, a list of safe stopping places for commercial vehicles transporting explosives on high - ways.

Section 31616 CVC further requires the CHP to revise the list and keep it current. The proposed amendments will update the list of safe stopping plac- es in the regulation. The CHP’s field commands conduct annual surveys on the explosives routes and safe stopping places to determine if changes are necessary. The CHP field commands inspected the locations of business estab - lishments serving as safe stopping and parking places.

Business owners expressed their willingness to pro - vide their business location and service information in the CCR by signing the CHP 114, Designation as Safe Stopping Place, or CHP 114A, Designation as Safe Parking Place. The proposed amendments will update the list of safe stopping places to be used by carriers transport - ing explosives along the designated explosives routes. These updates are due to permissions received, denied, or a change of business information or ownership. The CHP has received concurrence with the proposed reg- ulation amendments from the State Fire Marshal.

This proposed regulatory action will continue to provide a nonmonetary benefit to the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of California’s residents, workers, and environment. The changes to the appli - cation of the regulation are not substantive and bring

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 229 the regulation in conformance with existing statute. The proposed changes update and clarify safe stop - ping places designated for carriers transporting ex - plosives, and contribute to transportation safety and public health. During the process of developing these regulations and amendments, the CHP has conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and has concluded that these regulations are neither inconsistent, nor in - compatible, with existing federal and state regulations.

PUBLIC COMMENT Any interested person may submit written com - ments on the proposed action via facsimile at (916) 322–3154, by electronic mail to cvsregulations@chp. ca.gov, or by writing to: California Highway Patrol Commercial Vehicle

Section Attention: Dr. Tian–Ting Shih P.O. Box 942898 Sacramento, CA 94298–0001 Written comments must be received by April 18, 2022. PUBLIC HEARINGS No public hearing has been scheduled. If any per - son desires a public hearing, a written request must be received by the CHP, Commercial Vehicle

Section (CVS), no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION The CHP has available for public review an initial statement of reasons for the proposed regulatory ac - tion, the information upon which this action is based, and the proposed regulation text in strikeout and un - derline format. Requests to review or receive copies of this information should be directed to the CHP either at the above address, by facsimile at (916) 322–3154, or by calling the CHP, CVS, at (916) 843–3400.

The rulemaking file is available for inspection. In - terested parties are advised to call CHP, CVS, for an appointment. All documents regarding the proposed action are available through the CHP’s website at https://www. chp.ca.gov/News–Alerts/Regulatory–Actions.

Any person desiring to obtain a copy of the adopted text and a final statement of reasons may request them at the above–noted address. Copies will also be posted on the CHP website. CONTACT PERSON Any inquiries concerning the written materials per - taining to the proposed regulations or the substance of the proposed regulations should be directed to Dr. Tian–Ting Shih or Sergeant Robert Daniels at (916) 843–3400. ADOPTION OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS After consideration of public comments, the CHP may adopt the proposal substantially as set forth with- out further notice.

If the proposal is modified prior to adoption and the change is not solely grammatical or nonsubstantive in nature, the full text of the resulting regulations, with the changes clearly indicated, will be made available to the public for at least 15 days prior to the date of adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT AND RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT The CHP has made an initial determination that this proposed regulatory action: (1) will have no effect on housing costs; (2) will not impose any new mandate upon local agencies or school districts; (3) will involve no nondiscretionary cost or savings to any local agen- cy, no cost to any local agency or school district for which Government Code (GC) Sections 17500–17630 require reimbursement, no cost or savings to any state agency, nor costs or savings in federal funding to the state; (4) will neither create nor eliminate jobs in the State of California, nor result in the elimination of ex- isting businesses, or create or expand businesses in the State of California; and (5) will not have a significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California busi - nesses to compete with businesses in other states.

Benefits of the Proposed Action: The proposed regulations updating safe stopping places designated for carriers transporting explosives will continue to provide benefits, including the nonmonetary benefit of protecting public health and safety for residents, workers, and the environment by providing a regulato- ry basis for enforcement efforts as they relate to safety compliance ratings. The regulated community is encouraged to respond during the comment period of this regulatory process if significant impacts are identified.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 230 COST IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES The CHP is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would nec - essarily incur in reasonable compliance with the pro - posed action. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESSES The CHP has determined the proposed regulatory action may affect small businesses. If a business can no longer meet the requirements for safety, they will be deleted from the list of safe stopping and safe park- ing places.

However, due to the very limited amount of commercial vehicles transporting explosives on the designated routes in the state, no foreseeable econom- ic impact is projected for a small business to be re - moved from the list. ALTERNATIVES In accordance with

Section 11346.5(a)

(13) GC, the CHP has determined that no reasonable alternative considered by the CHP, or otherwise identified and brought to the attention of the CHP, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the ac- tion is proposed, would be as effective and less bur - densome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected pri- vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The CHP invites interested parties to present statements or ar - guments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations during the written comment period. AUTHORITY This regulatory action is being taken pursuant to

Section 31616 CVC. REFERENCE This action implements, interprets, or makes specif- ic Sections 31303, 31304, 31601, 31602, 31607, 31611, 31614, and 31616 CVC. TITLE 14.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW (pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(3)(A)–(D)) Pursuant to the Z’berg–Nejedly Forest Practice Act (Act) of 1973, Public Resources Code (PRC) § 4511, et seq. (FPA) the State Board of Forestry and Fire Pro - tection (Board) is authorized to construct a system of forest practice regulations applicable to timber man - agement on state and private timberlands.

PRC § 4551 requires the Board to “…adopt district forest practice rules… to ensure the continuous grow- ing and harvesting of commercial forest tree species and to protect the soil, air, fish, wildlife, and water re- sources…” and PRC § 4553 requires the Board to con- tinuously review the rules in consultation with other interests and make appropriate revisions.

Furthermore, PRC § 4551.5 requires that these reg- ulations adopted by the Board “…apply to the conduct of timber operations and shall include, but shall not be limited to, measures for fire prevention and control, for soil erosion control, for site preparation that in - volves disturbance of soil or burning of vegetation fol- lowing timber harvesting activities, for water quality and watershed control, for flood control, for stocking, for protection against timber operations that unneces - sarily destroy young timber growth or timber produc - tivity of the soil, for prevention and control of damage by forest insects, pests, and disease…”.

Timber Operations are further defined within PRC § 4527 as “…the cutting or removal, or both, of tim - ber or other solid wood forest products…from Tim - berlands for commercial purposes, together with all the incidental work, including, but not limited to, construction and maintenance of roads, fuel breaks, firebreaks, stream crossings, Landings, skid trails, and beds for the falling of trees, fire hazard abatement, and site preparation that involves disturbance of soil or burning of vegetation following timber harvesting activities…”.

Prior to 2012, the term “Cutover Land” was defined within the Forest Practice Act as “…land which has borne a crop of commercial timber from which at least 70 percent of the merchantable original growth timber stand has been removed by logging or destroyed by fire, insects, or tree diseases and which is now sup - porting, or capable of growing, a crop of commercial timber or other forest products, and which has not been converted to other commercial or agricultural use.” This definition was repealed by statutory amendment in 2011 (Chapter 584, AB 1414) and the references to the repealed statute (PRC § 4522.5) were generally re- pealed from the Forest Practice Rules in 2017.

How - ever, the use of the term “Cutover Land” persists in various provisions of the rules, which now lack clarity in the application of that term. Within 14 CCR § 895.1, the term “Cutover Land” is used within the definition for “Wet Meadows and Other Wet Areas” to exclude those cutover Timber - lands from those natural areas which are both moist on the surface throughout most of the year and support aquatic vegetation, grasses and forbs as their principal vegetative cover.

The term “Meadows and Wet Areas” is similar but refers to areas which are either moist on the surface throughout most of the year and/or support aquatic vegetation, grasses, and forbs as their princi - pal vegetative cover; this broader definition includes dry meadows. However, there are currently two ex - isting identical

definitions for “Meadows and Wet Ar- eas,” one for the Northern Forest District, and one for the Southern Forest District. The Coast Forest District does not have an existing definition for “Meadows and Wet Areas,” which makes the application of the Spe - cial Prescription for Aspen, meadow and wet area res-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2022, VOLUME NUMBER 9-Z 232 toration as described in 14 CCR § 913.4 (933.4, 953.4) unclear. In order to address the above circumstances, the Board amended 14 CCR §§ 895.1, 906, 912.7 (932.7, 952.7), 912.9 (932.9, 952.9), 913.4 (933.4, 953.4), 916.3 (936.3, 956.3), 921.4 (961.4), 923.1 (943.1, 963.1), 923.4 (943.4, 963.4), 927.10 (953.7, 953.12), 1027.1, 1034, 1038.4, 1051, 1051.4, 1072.4, 1090.5, 1092.09, 1094.6, and 1094.8 in accordance with the provisions of the above–mentioned statutes. The purpose of the proposed action is to remove ref- erences to “Cutover Land” from the Rules and com - bine the

definitions for “Meadows and Wet Areas” for the Northern and Southern Forest Districts and extend that definition to cover all forest districts in Califor - nia, as well as to improve clarity using defined terms within “Aspen, Meadows and Wet Areas Restoration” special prescription, and within rules specific to the High Use Subdistrict. The effect of the proposed action is to align the terms used in the Rules with existing

definitions and promote clarity and consistent application of the rules throughout the state. The benefit of the proposed action is regulations that are clearer and more consistent, and accurately reflect the terms defined by the Rules. There is no comparable Federal regulation or statute. Board staff conducted an evaluation on wheth - er the proposed action is inconsistent or incompati - ble with existing State regulations pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(3)(D).

State regulations related to the proposed action were, in fact, relied upon in the devel- opment of the proposed action to ensure the consisten- cy and compatibility of the proposed action with exist- ing State regulations. Otherwise, Board staff evaluat - ed the balance of existing State regulations related to the treatment of fuels resulting from timber operations within State regulations that met the same purpose as the proposed action. Based on this evaluation and ef - fort, the Board has determined that the proposed reg - ulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing State regulations.

The proposed regulation is entirely consistent and compatible with existing Board rules. Statutes to which the proposed action was com - pared: Sections 4512, 4513, 4527, 4551, 4551.5, and 4554, Public Resources Code. Sections 13000, 13050, 13146, and 13247, Water Code.

Section 17556 of the Government Code. The proposed action will not result in the imposition of other non–discretionary costs or savings to local agencies. The proposed action will not result in costs or sav - ings in Federal funding to the State. The proposed action will not result in costs to any State agency. The proposed action represents a con - tinuation of existing forest practice regulations related to the conduct of timber operations and will not result in any direct or indirect costs or savings to any state agency.
