Section 4900 in the regulations in Title 3 of the California Code of Regulations pertaining to Industrial Hemp Cultivation Registration Fees. PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing is not scheduled. A public hearing will be held if any interested person, or his or her duly authorized representative, submits a written request for a public hearing to the Department no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period.

Submit com- ments to: Dean Kelch Departmemt of Food and Agriculture Plant Health and Pest Prevention Services 1220 N Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Dean.Kelch@cdfa.ca.gov 916.403.6650 916.651.2900 (FAX) Following the public hearing if one is requested, or following the written comment period if no public hear- ing is requested, the Department of Food and Agricul- ture, at its own motion, or at the instance of any interest- ed person, may adopt the proposal substantially as set forth without further notice.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1969 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/PLAIN ENGLISH OVERVIEW Existing law requires the Secretary to establish fees for registration for growers of industrial hemp for com- mercial purposes and seed breeders (Section 81005, Food and Agricultural Code (FAC)). The proposed adoption of

Section 4900 pertaining to registration for growers of industrial hemp for commer- cial purposes and seed breeders will establish annual registration and registration renewal fees as required in statute amended by SB 1409, effective January 1, 2019. The Department considered any other possible relat- ed regulations in this area, and it finds that these are the only regulations dealing in this subject area, and it is the only State agency that can implement this proposed reg- ulation. As required by Government Code (GC)

Section 11346.5(a)(3)(D), the Department has conducted an evaluation of this proposed regulation and has deter- mined that it is not inconsistent or incompatible with ex- isting state regulations. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS FROM THIS REGULATORY ACTION Establishment of a registration fee will allow com- mercial cultivation of industrial hemp to begin in Cali- fornia and allow the growth of the industrial hemp in- dustry in California.

The Hemp Business Journal esti- mated industrial hemp−based product sales in the Unit- ed States are increasing and the United States has seen significant growth in acreage of industrial hemp culti- vation: 9,770 acres of industrial hemp were grown in 2016; 25,713 acres were grown in 2017. Currently, most hemp products processed and manu- factured in the United States heavily rely on imported material, according to the Congressional Research Ser- vice. Without this regulation, California citizens are un- able to participate in this emerging industry.

The proposed regulation also serves to provide the state and counties with funding to cover the actual costs of implementing, administering, and enforcing the pro- visions of FAC Division 24. It will help protect the pub- lic and the state’s natural resources from illegal cultiva- tion activities by providing resources to the county agri- cultural commissioner to provide regulatory oversight, ensuring that industrial hemp plantings meet statutory requirements.

ADOPTED TEXT The adoption of this proposed regulation will estab- lish registration and renewal fees to be charged by the county agricultural commissioner for industrial hemp cultivation as required in statute. The proposed annual registration fee is $900 per ap- plicant for each county in which the applicant intends to cultivate industrial hemp as a commercial grower or seed breeder. The registration fee shall be submitted along with the registration application to the commis- sioner. Registration will be valid for one year from the date of issuance by the commissioner.

The proposed fee for renewal of an annual registra- tion is $900 per registrant for each county in which the applicant intends to continue to cultivate industrial hemp as a commercial grower or seed breeder. Re- newals not paid in full within 30 days after expiration of registration will result in forfeiture of registration. Restoration of forfeited registration will require pay- ment of any unpaid fees and a penalty of 15% of the un- paid fee amount.

The commissioner may waive the penalty upon receiving a signed statement from the reg- istrant that he/she did not cultivate industrial hemp dur- ing the period in which the registration was expired un- less there is substantial evidence otherwise. Renewed registration will be valid for one year from the date of is- suance by the commissioner. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies or school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None.

Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code Sections 17500 through 17630: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Significant statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting business, including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None.

Cost impacts on a representative private person or business: This regulation will require the payment of registration fees by industrial hemp growers and seed breeders, as required in statute. The direct cost that a registered grower or seed breeder will necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the registration require- ment is $900.00 a year. The cost to register as a grower or seed breeder is reasonable and would likely be offset by revenue collected by the grower or seed breeder over the registration period of one year. Small Business Determination: The proposed regula- tion may affect small business.

Significant effect on housing costs: None.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1970 ASSESSMENT The Department has made an assessment that the pro- posed regulation would not likely eliminate jobs or ex- isting businesses within California. The Department has made an assessment that the proposed regulation would likely promote the creation of new jobs and busi- nesses, and affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California. The proposed regulation will establish a registration and renewal fee in order for prospective growers and/or seed breeders of industrial hemp to begin cultivation.

The proposed regulation will help protect the public and the state’s natural resources by allowing the Program to collect funds to fully administer a statewide registration program as well as provide oversight, training, and as- sistance to the county inspectors regarding regulatory enforcement activities, ensuring consistent implemen- tation and enforcement of statutory requirements for in- dustrial hemp cultivation throughout the state.

By discouraging illegal hemp cultivation and the re- lated dangers that affect workers and the neighboring public from such unlawful activities, this proposed reg- ulation will help protect the public safety of California residents or worker safety. Based upon the economic analysis, the Department believes this proposed regula- tion benefits the general welfare of California residents (GC

Section 11346.3(b)). ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The Department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered to the proposed regulation or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its atten- tion 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 per- sons than the proposed action, or would be more cost− effective to affected private persons and equally effec- tive in implementing the statutory policy or other provi- sion of law than the proposal described in this notice.

The Department considered taking no action. If no action is taken, registration for the cultivation of indus- trial hemp would not be available, and this would en- courage illegal cultivation of this in−demand crop. The Department and counties will not have the resources for regulatory enforcement activities to address illegal cultivation. AUTHORITY The Department proposes to adopt

Section 4900 pur- suant to the authority vested by Sections 407, 483, and 81005 of the Food and Agricultural Code of California. REFERENCE The Department proposes this action to implement, interpret and make specific Sections 81003, 81004, and 81005 of the Food and Agricultural Code.

DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE The Department of Food and Agriculture amended subsection 3591.2 of the regulations in Title 3 of the

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1971 California Code of Regulations pertaining the Oriental Fruit Fly Eradication Area as an emergency action that was effective on July 19, 2018. The Department pro- poses to continue the regulation as amended and to complete the amendment process by submission of a Certificate of Compliance no later than January 15, 2019. This notice is being provided in compliance with Government Code

Section 11346.4. PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing is not scheduled. A public hearing will be held if any interested person, or his or her duly authorized representative, submits a written request for a public hearing to the Department no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period.

Comments may be submitted by mail, facsimile (FAX) at 916.651.2900 or by email to Dean.Kelch@cdfa.ca.gov.

The written comment period closes at 5:00 p.m. on De- cember 24, 2018. The Department will consider only comments received at the Department offices by that time.

Submit comments to: Dean Kelch Department of Food and Agriculture Plant Health and Pest Prevention Services 1220 N Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Dean.Kelch@cdfa.ca.gov 916.406.6650 916.651.2900 (FAX) Following the public hearing if one is requested, or following the written comment period if no public hear- ing is requested, the Department of Food and Agricul- ture, at its own motion, or at the instance of any interest- ed person, may adopt the proposal substantially as set forth without further notice.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Existing law provides that the Secretary is obligated to investigate the existence of any pest that is not gener- ally distributed within this state and determine the prob- ability of its spread and the feasibility of its control or eradication (Food and Agricultureal Code (FAC) Sec- tion 5321). Existing law also provides that the Secretary may es- tablish, maintain and enforce quarantine, eradication and other such regulations as she deemed necessary to protect the agricultural industry from the introduction and spread of pests (FAC Sections 401, 403, 407 and 5322).

Anticipated Benefits From This Regulatory Action Existing law, FAC

section 403, provides that the de- partment shall prevent the introduction and spread of injurious insect or animal pests, plant diseases, and noxious weeds. Existing law, FAC

section 407, provides that the Sec- retary may adopt such regulations as are reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this code that the Secretary is directed or authorized to administer or enforce. Existing law, FAC

section 5321, provides that the Secretary is obligated to investigate the existence of any pest that is not generally distributed within this State and determine the probability of its spread, and the fea- sibility of its control or eradication. Existing law, FAC

section 5322, provides that the Secretary may establish, maintain, and enforce quaran- tine, eradication, and such other regulations as are in the Secretary’s opinion necessary to circumscribe and ex- terminate or prevent the spread of any pest that is de- scribed in FAC

section 5321. Existing law, CCR

Section 3591.2, defines the state’s eradication areas for Oriental fruit fly. The existing law obligates the Secretary to investi- gate and determine the feasibility of controlling or erad- icating pests of limited distribution, but establishes dis- cretion with regard to the establishment and mainte- nance of regulations to achieve this goal. This amend- ment provides the necessary regulatory authority to pre- vent the artificial spread of a serious insect pest, which is a mandated statutory goal.

This regulation will benefit the public’s general wel- fare by providing authority for the State to perform de- tection, control, and eradication activities against Ori- ental fruit fly in Santa Cruz County.

The implementation of this regulation will prevent: • direct damage to the agricultural industry growing host fruits. • indirect damage to the agricultural industry growing host fruits due to the implementation of quarantines by other countries and loss of export markets. • increased production costs to the affected agricultural industries. • increased pesticide use by the affected agricultural industries. • increased costs to the consumers of host fruits.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1972 • increased pesticide use by homeowners and others. • the need to implement a State interior quarantine. • the need to implement a federal domestic quarantine. There is no existing, comparable federal regulation or statute regulating the intrastate movement. The Department considered any other possible relat- ed regulations in this area, and it found that these are the only regulations dealing in this subject area, and the De- partment is the only State agency that can implement these eradication areas for plant pests. As required by Government Code

Section 11346.5(a)(3)(D), the De- partment has conducted an evaluation of this regulation and has determined that it is not inconsistent or incom- patible with existing state regulations. AMENDED TEXT This emergency rulemaking action added Santa Cruz County to the Oriental Fruit Fly Eradication Area. The effect of the amendment of this regulation is to provide authority for the State to perform eradication activities against the Oriental fruit fly in the county of Santa Cruz.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None, and no nondis- cretionary costs or savings to local agencies or school districts. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None.

Significant statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting business, including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None. Cost impacts on a representative private person or business: The agency is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Small Business Determination The Department has determined that the proposed regulations may affect small businesses. Significant effect on housing costs: None.

Results of the Economic Impact Analysis Amendment of these regulations will not:

(1) Create or eliminate jobs within California;

(2) Create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within California; or

(3) Affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California. The Department has determined the amendment of this regulation would benefit: • the general public • homeowners and community gardens • agricultural industry • the State’s general fund There are no known specific benefits to worker safety or the health of California residents.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The Department must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered to the regulation or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would either be more effective in carrying out the pur- pose for which the action is proposed or would be as ef- fective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action or would be more cost− effective to affected private persons and equally effec- tive in implementing the statutory policy or other provi- sion of law than the proposal described in this Notice. AUTHORITY The Department proposes to amend

section 3591.2 pursuant to the authority vested by Sections 407 and 5322 of the Food and Agricultural Code. REFERENCE The Department proposes this action to implement, interpret and make specific Sections 407, 5322, 5761, 5762 and 5763 of the Food and Agricultural Code.

Written comments may be submitted as follows: 1. By email: regulations@cdph.ca.gov.

It is requested that email transmission of comments, particularly those with attachments, contain the regulation package identifier “DPH−110−007 Health and Therapeutic Medical Physicist Authorization” in the subject line to facilitate timely identification and review of the comment; 2. By fax transmission: (916) 636−6220; 3. By Postal Service: California Department of Public Health, Office of Regulations, 1415 L Street, Suite 500, Sacramento, CA 95814; 4. Hand−delivered: California Department of Public Health, Office of Regulations, 1415 L Street, Suite 500, Sacramento, CA 95814.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE The Department is proposing to adopt, amend, or re- peal, as applicable, the regulations identified below un- der the authority provided in sections 114975, 114980, 115000, 115060, 115080 and 131200 of the Health and Safety Code (H&S Code). This proposal implements, interprets and makes specific sections 114965, 114970, 115000, 115060, 115080, 131050, 131051 and 131052 of the H&S Code.

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL This proposal would establish the qualification, au- thorization and renewal processes, including new appli- cation and renewal fees and continuing education re- quirements, for individuals who perform therapeutic X−ray system output calibrations and radiation protec- tion surveys of therapeutic X−ray installations. It estab- lishes the processes for previously authorized individu- als to remain authorized and identifies the standards for limiting, revoking or suspending the authorizations. This proposal also establishes who may perform patient radiation dose rate measurements on fluoroscopic X−ray equipment.

Definitions are added for clarifying terms used in the proposed regulations.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1974 Nonsubstantial changes are also proposed. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Problem Statement: Existing regulations state that only Department−approved individuals may perform therapeutic X−ray system output calibrations and radia- tion protection surveys of therapeutic X−ray installa- tions, and that radiation dose rate measurements must be performed on fluoroscopic X−ray equipment.

How- ever, the regulations fail to specify the qualifications and processes for authorizing those individuals, and fail to identify the qualifications of individuals making ra- diation dose rate measurements on fluoroscopic X−ray equipment. The lack of specificity in the regulation hampers its efficacy and ability to ensure the competen- cy of personnel whose responsibilities include ensuring patient safety.

Objectives: Broad objectives of this proposed regula- tory action are to: • Ensure individuals verifying that therapeutic X−ray equipment can safely, accurately and effectively irradiate cancerous tissue during human radiation therapy are qualified and competent. • Provide well−defined procedures that allow an individual to obtain and maintain authorization to perform specific tasks related to fluoroscopic and therapeutic X−ray equipment. • Specify the tasks that must be performed by or under a given level of supervision from authorized individuals. • Specify actions by authorized individuals that may result in the Department revoking, suspending or limiting authorization. • Ensure authorized individuals are aware of technological changes and maintain competency. • Assure the long−term sustainability and enforcement of the standards created through the implementation of fees.

Benefits: Anticipated benefits, including nonmone- tary benefits, from this proposed regulatory action are: • Provide for continued protection of public health and safety, and worker safety, as established by the Legislature in H&S Code sections 114970 and 115000. 1 • Ensure that individuals are adequately trained and experienced to safely and competently perform tasks related to fluoroscopic and therapeutic X−ray equipment, thereby reducing unnecessary radiation exposure to the public during X−ray procedures. • Specify the application and renewal processes and requirements that allow individuals to obtain and maintain authorization. • Ensure that individuals are of aware of technological advances impacting physics services for patient safety. • Streamline the existing process to approve individuals to perform certain tasks regarding use of therapeutic X−ray equipment. • Maintain an orderly regulatory pattern within the State and among the states pursuant to H&S Code

section 114965. Evaluation as to whether the proposed regulations are inconsistent or incompatible with existing state reg- ulations: The Department evaluated this proposal and determined that, if adopted, it will not be inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations. This eval- uation included a review of the Department’s existing general regulations and those regulations specific to im- plementation of the RCL. Some inconsistencies in those specific regulations were found, and are ad- dressed in this proposal. An Internet search of other state agency regulations was also performed.

It was de- termined that no other California state agency regula- tions address the same subject matter. PROGRAM BACKGROUND X−ray machines emit radiation. Radiation is used for healthcare purposes to diagnose injuries and diseases, including cancer. Radiation is also used to kill cancer- ous tissue or to slow its growth. Such treatment is called radiation therapy and is conducted in facilities such as hospitals and cancer centers. The facility (i.e. the pos- sessor of the radiation machine, called a “registrant”) is responsible for complying with applicable laws and regulations.

Because X−ray machines emit radiation, the installa- tion, or room in which the machine is housed, must be shielded to block the radiation from penetrating walls or surfaces. Radiation surveys are performed to ensure the shielding is sufficient so that the public, patients and workers are protected from unnecessary radiation ex- posure. The maintenance required to ensure these X−ray machines operate properly includes calibrations.

Calibrations are quality assurance tests, measurements and calculations taken to establish how closely a ma- chine’s settings meet the operating criteria established by the manufacturer. X−ray machines used for healthcare purposes require surveys and calibrations to 1 This short format “H&S Code

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1975 minimize radiation hazards, to prevent harm to the pub- lic, workers or patients, and to ensure the equipment ac- curately delivers the intended radiation dose to cancer- ous tissue as prescribed by a physician. Registrants who wish to install or who already oper- ate therapeutic X−ray machines may only allow certain Department−approved individuals to perform radiation protection surveys of the installations and calibrations of therapeutic X−ray machines.

However, existing reg- ulations fail to specify how this approval process is per- formed and what qualifications a person must meet for approval. Thus, individuals are approved on a case−by− case basis resulting in time−consuming processes and issuance of authorizations based on inconsistent and subjective criteria. Further, the cost of this process is not recovered through applicant fees resulting in diverting staff to perform this work. This impacts work efficien- cies in other program areas.

This subjective process fails to ensure individuals maintain knowledge of cur- rent and new technological changes in therapeutic equipment designs, radiation dose modeling, and radiation−related physics. The use of subjective crite- ria, the inability to ensure individuals remain compe- tent, and insufficient funding of this approval process, hampers the regulation’s efficacy and ability to ensure the competency of personnel whose responsibilities in- clude ensuring patient safety.

Also, registrants are required to make radiation dose rate measurements on fluoroscopic X−ray equipment, which is used for verifying the equipment continues to function consistently over time. However, existing reg- ulations fail to identify the qualifications of individuals making those measurements. This proposal would re- quire registrants to ensure that the individual who per- forms those measurements meets specific qualifications. The use of X−ray machines for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes is conducted both nationally and internationally.

The Legislature established the State policy of being consistent, insofar as possible, with oth- er states and the federal government so as to minimize duplication of regulation. (H&S Code sections 114965(c) & 114970(b).) In developing this proposal, the Department reviewed other states’ requirements pertaining to who may perform calibrations of thera- peutic X−ray systems and installation surveys for radia- tion protection, and who may make dose rate measure- ments on fluoroscopic X−ray equipment.

Under this proposal, the process to obtain and renew authorization is formalized resulting in two pathways for approval and a process for renewal. One pathway for approval requires the individual to hold certification from an approved organization and may require specif- ic work experience. The other pathway requires the in- dividual to have completed a specific combination of education, training and work experience. All training and work experience used to qualify for approval must have been conducted in clinical therapeutic radiation facilities.

An applicant following either pathway is re- quired to provide three sample reports of work per- formed in the category for which the applicant is re- questing approval. The Department reviews the information provided by an applicant to verify that the applicant has completed the required education, training, work experience or holds the applicable certification. Sample reports re- ceived from the applicant are also reviewed by the De- partment before the application is approved or denied.

Broadly, this proposal would establish an oversight structure, as it relates to radiation measurements of radi- ation machines and installations used in the healing arts, as follows: • Diagnostic medical physicist (DMP) • Must be facility−approved based on criteria specified in the definition of DMP. • May perform the tasks specified in

section 30307(

b) without supervision. • May perform tasks specified in

section 30312(b)(4) and (b)(5) only under the specified supervision level. • Department inspectors verify qualifications during inspection. • Health Physicist (HP) • Must be Department−authorized. • May perform the tasks specified in sections 30307(

b) and 30312(b)(5) without supervision. • May perform tasks specified in

section 30312(b)(4) only under the specified supervision level. • Therapeutic Medical Physicist (TMP) • Must be Department−authorized. • May perform all tasks specified in sections 30307(

b) and 30312(

b) without supervision. Although the Department currently refers to “ap- proved” individuals, this proposal uses the term “autho- rized” to describe the same individuals. This change is needed for consistency with existing regulations and re- sults in no regulatory effect. EV ALUATION AS TO WHETHER THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS ARE INCONSISTENT OR INCOMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS The Department evaluated this proposal and deter- mined that, if adopted, it will not be inconsistent or in- compatible with existing state regulations. This evalua-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1976 tion included a review of the Department’s existing general regulations. An internet search of other state agency regulations determined that no other state regu- lation addresses the same subject matter. MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS Currently, there are no existing federal regulations or statutes applicable to the regulations. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None. OTHER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS None.

BUSINESS REPORTING REQUIREMENT The Department has determined that this proposed regulation would require businesses to submit a report, and that the report is necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state. SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT DIRECTLY AFFECTING BUSINESS, INCLUDING ABILITY TO COMPETE The Department has made an initial determination that the proposed regulations would not have a signifi- cant statewide adverse economic impact directly affect- ing business, including the ability of California busi- nesses to compete with businesses in other states.

Thus, there will be no significant adverse economic impact on California businesses. LOCAL MANDATE The Department has determined that this regulatory action would not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts, nor are there any costs for which reim- bursement is required by

part 7 (commencing with Sec- tion 17500) of division 4 of the Government Code. EFFECT ON HOUSING The Department has determined that the regulations will have no impact on housing costs. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The Department has determined that there would be an effect on small businesses, because they will be legally required to comply with the regulation, and may incur a detriment from the enforcement of the regula- tion. FISCAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT A. FISCAL IMPACT ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT: There will be an impact as described in item B.1 below. B. FISCAL IMPACT ON STATE GOVERNMENT: 1.

State agencies that hire health physicists (HPs) and therapeutic medical physicists (TMPs) and pay for authorizations and renewals would be subject to the proposal. However, such payment is within the agencies’ discretion. The proposed application fee is $312 for HP or TMP authorization. The renewal fee is $267 payable every three years. Costs for continuing education (CE) credits widely range from $5 to $250 per credit. For 15 CEs every three years, the cost ranges from $75 to $3,750. 2. The proposed application fee is $312 and the renewal fee is $267 payable every three years.

Since the renewal fee of $267 is for a period of three years, the annualized renewal fee is $89 ($267 divided by three). The applicant pool cannot be accurately estimated because it is unknown how many individuals will apply for authorization. The Department has previously approved 511 individuals. Therefore, 511 renewal applicants are assumed for the purpose of this estimate.

The Radiation Control Fund would receive an estimated one−time increase of $136,437 ($267 times 511) due to renewal fees, if all 511 previously approved individuals renew their authorization the first year, and $45,479 ($136,437 divided by three) annually thereafter. C. FISCAL IMPACTS ON FEDERAL FUNDING OF STATE PROGRAMS: None. D. COST IMPACT ON REPRESENTATIVE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES DIRECTLY AFFECTED: There will be a fiscal impact on private persons who wish to obtain the authorization. The cost for the one−time

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1977 application fee is $312. The renewal fee is $267 payable every three years. The cost of complying with the CE requirement ranges widely from $5 to $250 per credit. For 15 CEs every three years, the cost ranges from $75 to $3,750. E. MANDATE ON LOCAL AGENCIES OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS: None. F. OTHER NON−DISCRETIONARY COSTS: None.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS The Department has determined that the proposed regulatory action would have no significant adverse economic impact on California business enterprises and individuals, including the ability of California busi- nesses to compete with businesses in other states. The Department analyzed whether and to what extent this proposal affects the following: 1. The creation or elimination of jobs within the State of California.

This proposal is not likely to eliminate jobs since this approval process only clarifies an existing process, and may create new jobs but creation of new jobs is not likely to be significant because this proposal only develops processes for an HP and TMP to become authorized, and applies to a limited pool of individuals. 2. The creation of new businesses or the elimination of existing businesses within the State of California. This proposal is not likely to eliminate existing businesses but may create new businesses to provide authorized individuals required continuing education (CE) courses.

Creation is not expected to be significant due to the small pool of individuals needing to obtain CE and that existing CE courses are widely available. 3. The expansion of businesses currently doing business within the State of California. Existing CE providers may see business expansion from those required to obtain CE to renew authorization. Expansion is expected to not be significant due to the small pool of individuals needing to obtain CE and that existing CE courses are widely available. 4. The benefits of the regulation to the health and welfare of California residents and increased worker safety.

This proposal significantly increases the benefits to the health and welfare of California residents and worker safety because it ensures that users of therapeutic X−ray equipment can safely and competently keep a patient’s radiation exposure to a minimum and protect operators, and other workers, from receiving unnecessary radiation exposure. This proposal would not affect the state’s environment because the proposal would establish the qualifications an individual needs to have to perform therapeutic X−ray system output calibrations and does not impact X−ray machine standards.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The Department has determined 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, or 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.

Chapter 30−700 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The regulations in this package pertain to amended Paramedical Regulations that cover a wide selection of areas including but not limited to: establishing a clear definition of a licensed health care professional for the purpose of ordering paramedical services (LHCP−PM); assigning an indicator of 6 for identifying one’s level of functioning, which is used in the assessment process; and setting forth protocols and specifications to ensure the counties have a clear understanding of

definitions and parameters of paramedical services governed by the Paramedical Regulations for the In−Home Support- ive Services (IHSS) program. Assembly Bill 1773,

Chapter 939, Statutes of 1992,

Section 2, which adopted Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC)

section 12300.1, specifies that paramedical ser- vices are supportive services that are ordered by a li- censed health care professional who is lawfully autho- rized to do so which persons could provide for them- selves but for their functional limitations. Paramedical services include the administration of medications, puncturing the skin, or inserting a medical device into a body orifice, activities requiring sterile procedures, or other activities requiring judgment based on training given by a licensed health care professional.

These nec- essary services shall be rendered by a provider under the direction of a licensed health care professional, subject to the informed consent of the recipient obtained as a part of the order for service.

In order for paramedical services to be authorized in the IHSS program, IHSS re- cipients must have their licensed health care profession- al complete the Request for Order and Consent — Paramedical Services form (SOC 321), which requires that the licensed health care professional identify the paramedical services needs and indicate the time re- quired to perform the paramedical service, the frequen- cy for administering the service, and how long the IHSS recipient needs for the paramedical service to be pro- vided.

Additionally, the licensed health care profes- sional must train the hired IHSS provider to properly administer these services for the IHSS recipient. IHSS recipients must also sign off on the SOC 321 with their consent to allow the specified paramedical services to be administered to them by the IHSS provider of their choice, which has undergone training to ensure proper administration.

If appropriate, training may also be ver- ified by reviewing the In−Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Provider Self−Certification of Completion of Training in the Provision of Paramedical Services (SOC 321A), which identifies the individual the LHCP−PM has trained in the specific paramedical tasks being ordered for the applicant/recipient.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1980 These proposed regulations revise language in the Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP), Division 30, sections 30−701 (Definitions), 30−756 (Need), and 30−757 (Program Service Categories and Time Guide- lines).

The revised regulations define a licensed health care professional for the purpose of ordering paramedi- cal services (LHCP−PM) for signing the SOC 321, specify what services are deemed paramedical and which are not by providing examples in a handbook sec- tion, and provide policies and procedures for the time- frames relating to the paramedical service authoriza- tions by requiring that paramedical services be autho- rized by an LHCP−PM within the timeframes specified in the Statewide Paramedical Service Time Authoriza- tion Guidelines, which are introduced in this package.

The paramedical regulations also specify the authority the county has to authorize time other than what is indi- cated on the SOC 321 by the LHCP−PM. Finally, the proposed revised regulations also specify the condi- tions for which a new SOC 321 must be completed and services may be made retroactive.

The conditions under which payment may be made retroactively for paramedical services rendered to an applicant/ recipient, before the county received the completed SOC 321, are specified to benefit IHSS program partic- ipants since these services are necessary to maintain the individual’s health and to remain safely in his/her own home. Forms T o Be Revised And Incorporated By Reference This proposed rulemaking action incorporates by ref- erence the Request for Order and Consent — Paramedi- cal Services, SOC 321 (XX/20XX).

This proposed rule- making action also incorporates by reference Provider Self−Certification of Completion of Training in the Provision of Paramedical Services, SOC 321A (XX/20XX). The revision dates of both forms will be the effective date of the proposed regulations.

Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The benefits of the regulatory action to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment are as follows: Program stakehold- ers, including county agencies that administer the IHSS program, IHSS applicants/recipients, advocates for IHSS applicants/recipients, and others, will have a clear understanding of the most up−to−date rules relating to the authorization and provision of paramedical services within the IHSS program.

Regulations relating to paramedical services were first promulgated in 1979, and they have not been updated since 1993. There are no additional benefits for worker safety or the state’s envi- ronment, as the regulations only affect county agencies that administer the IHSS program, IHSS applicants/ recipients who have a need for paramedical services, and LHCP−PMs who may be asked by clients who are IHSS applicants/recipients to provide an order for paramedical services.

Because these regulations apply only to individuals applying for or receiving IHSS, they do not impose any additional costs or fees on individu- als, nor will they result in higher product prices or in di- minished product choices or quality of goods and ser- vices produced in the private sector. There is no specific benefit to the health or welfare of the state’s workers or its environment.

Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing Law The Department has made an initial determination that these proposed regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing State and federal statutes, court decisions, or other provisions of law. These are the only regulations that concern IHSS Paramedical Regulations for IHSS applicants. COST ESTIMATE 1. Costs or Savings to State Agencies: None. 2. Costs to Local Agencies or School Districts Which Must Be Reimbursed in Accordance with Government Code Sections 17500 −17630: None. 3.

Nondiscretionary Costs or Savings to Local Agencies: None. 4. Federal Funding to State Agencies: None. LOCAL MANDATE STATEMENT These regulations constitute a mandate on local agen- cies, but not on local school districts. There are state− mandated local costs that require reimbursement, which are provided in the Budget Act to cover any costs that local agencies may incur.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON BUSINESS The Department has made an initial determination that the proposed action will not have a significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California business- es to compete with businesses in other states.

This de- termination was made based on the fact that the regula- tions only apply to county agencies that administer the IHSS program, IHSS applicants/recipients who have a need for paramedical services, and LHCP−PMs who may be asked by clients who are IHSS applicants/ recipients to provide an order for paramedical services.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1981 STATEMENT OF POTENTIAL COST IMPACT ON PRIV ATE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES The Department 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. SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT The Department has made an initial determination that there is no impact on small businesses as a result of filing these regulations because these regulations are only applicable to IHSS applicants and state and county agencies.

Further, the regulations contained in this package concern IHSS applicants who are not included in the definition of small businesses pursuant to

Section 11342 of the Government Code. As such, they do not impact small businesses either in terms of occupations, reporting requirements, competitiveness, fees, charges, or assessments. These regulations carry no compliance requirements for small businesses. Hence, small busi- nesses will incur no information or transaction costs as- sociated with compliance with these regulations.

STATEMENT OF RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT The analysis is intended to be a tool or baseline to es- tablish that these regulatory measures are the most cost−effective to affected California enterprises and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law. The Department has made the initial determination detailed in the Initial Statement of Reasons that: the adoption of the proposed amendments will neither create nor eliminate jobs in the State of Cal- ifornia, nor result in the elimination of existing busi- nesses, or create or expand businesses in the State of California.

The benefits of the regulatory action to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment are as follows: Program stakehold- ers, including county agencies that administer the IHSS program, IHSS applicants/recipients, advocates for IHSS applicants/recipients, and others, will have a clear understanding of the most up−to−date rules relating to the authorization and provision of paramedical services within the IHSS program. Regulations relating to paramedical services were first promulgated in 1979, and they have not been updated since 1993.

There are no additional benefits for worker safety or the state’s envi- ronment, as the regulations only affect county agencies that administer the IHSS program, IHSS applicants/ recipients who have a need for paramedical services, and LHCP−PMs who may be asked by clients who are IHSS applicants/recipients to provide an order for paramedical services.

Because these regulations apply only to individuals applying for or receiving IHSS, they do not impose any additional costs or fees on individu- als, nor will they result in higher product prices or in di- minished product choices or quality of goods and ser- vices produced in the private sector. There is no specific benefit to the health or welfare of the state’s workers or its environment. STATEMENT OF EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS The proposed regulatory action will have no effect on housing costs.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The Department invites interested persons to present statements or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations at the scheduled hearing or during the public comment period.

The Department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered or that has otherwise been identi- fied and brought to the attention of the Department would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the regulations are proposed or would be as ef- fective as and less burdensome to affected private per- sons than the proposed action, or would be more cost− effective to affected private persons and equally effec- tive in implementing the statutory policy or other provi- sion of law.

To date, workgroups have been held with counties, stakeholders, and advocacy groups to discuss the pro- gram and no other alternatives were identified or brought to the attention of the Department that would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the regulations are proposed or would be as effective as and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, 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.

As part of the Project, the Appli- cant also proposes to establish and endow a conserva- tion easement (CE) of 472.86 acres (Easement Area) with the Santa Barbara County Land Trust as mitigation for the California tiger salamander (Ambystoma cali- forniense) (CTS). The Applicant has prepared a Low−Effect Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) and received an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) (No.

TE62704C) from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on Novem- ber 27, 2017, through

section 10 of the federal Endan- gered Species Act (ESA; 16 U.S.C. § 1531 et seq.). The project area lies within the historic range and fed- eral critical habitat of CTS, and CTS have been docu- mented within the project area. Seven known CTS breeding ponds have been recorded within 1.24 miles of the proposed Project Area: SAMA−2, SAMA−3, SAMA−21, GUAD−1, GUAD−2, GUAD−3, and GUAD−4. As recently as spring 2017, CTS larvae were captured in breeding pond GUAD−1 in large numbers during a survey effort conducted by local biologists.

GUAD−2, located within the Easement Area, is the closest known breeding pool to the Total Farming Area where impacts are anticipated to occur. The Service has identified six potential CTS breeding ponds located within 1.24 miles of the Project Area, in addition to the above−referenced known CTS breeding ponds: CASM−1, GUAD−5, GUAD−7, GUAD−9, GUAD−10 and GUAD−11. In spring 2017, local biologists inspected known breeding ponds GUAD−1, GUAD−2, and GUAD−4 within the proposed Easement Area; and at that time, only GUAD−1 was holding water. Hundreds of CTS larvae were caught at GUAD 1 during this survey effort.

The entire project area is located within a 1.24−mile ra- dius of GUAD 1, which is approximately in the center of the site. The Easement Area also contains approxi- mately 450 acres of upland habitat suitable for CTS. Based on these two factors, CTS is presumed to occur within the Easement Area. The Applicant obtained an ITP from the Service that authorizes incidental take of CTS for a period of 25 years commencing on November 27, 2017 (date of fed- eral approval).

The Applicant developed biological goals and objectives and included them in the HCP to ensure that it is consistent with the conservation and re- covery goals for the species. The Project will require use of heavy equipment (e.g., water truck, excavator, backhoe, loader, and flatbed trailer) and all necessary equipment to complete con- struction. The Project has the potential to incidentally take 1 CTS where the described activities would take place within developed and farmed areas.

In particular, CTS could be incidentally taken as a result of crushing or en- tombment by equipment or personnel (from collapsing of burrows) or entrapment from trench excavation. CTS is designated as a federally endangered species pur- suant to the federal ESA and state threatened species pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act (CESA; Fish & G. Code § 2050 et seq.) (See Cal.

Code Regs., tit. 14, § 670.5, subd. (b)(3)(G).) Anticipated incidental take of CTS is expected to be low, ranging between 0 to 7 individuals from imple- mentation of the covered activities during project con- struction and between 0 and 3 individuals (annually) from ongoing operations and maintenance. Further- more, the total number of individuals subject to inciden- 1 Pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 86, “ ‘Take’ means hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill.” See also Environmental Protection Infor- mation Center v. California Department of Forestry and Fire Pro- tection (2008) 44 Cal.4 th 459, 507 [for purposes of incidental take permitting under Fish and Game Code

section 2081, subdivision (b), “ ‘take’ . . . means to catch, capture or kill”].

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1983 tal take will be low when compared to the overall CTS metapopulation in the area and the larger distinct popu- lation segment.

Loss of habitat for CTS will result from the following Project activities: (1) establishment of 180.24 acres of agriculture with row crops; (2) construction of farm la- bor housing on 6.50 acres; (3) installation of three one− acre oil wells; (4) installation of a new telecommunica- tion facility and maintenance of an existing facility on one acre; (5) construction of a 4−acre solar facility; and (6) infrastructure and activities associated with the above actions. Project activities will result in a total loss of 194.74 acres of suitable CTS habitat.

The Service, in cooperation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), performed a habitat quality impact analysis using the Searcy and Shaffer (2008) model for the disturbance of 194.74 acres of CTS upland habitat and determined a reduction in reproductive value of 156,124 units. The CE for the Project includes suffi- cient acreage and habitat function to compensate for this calculated 156,124−unit loss of reproductive value; therefore, the habitat protection provided by the CE ef- fectively mitigates for all Project impacts to CTS and its habitat.

The Project is expected to result in take of a species designated as federally endangered; therefore, the Ap- plicant prepared an HCP in support of an application for an ITP pursuant to

section 10(a)(1)(

B) of the federal ESA. On November 27, 2017, the Service issued an ITP (No. TE62704C) to the Applicant. The HCP describes covered activities and specifies measures the Applicant will fulfill to minimize and mitigate incidental take of individuals of the listed species likely to occur from im- plementation of the Project. The ITP requires the Appli- cant to comply with terms of the HCP and its related ITP and incorporates additional conditions. On July 18, 2017, the Director of CDFW received the initial notice from the Applicant requesting a determi- nation that the Project ITP, including its HCP, is consis- tent with CESA for purposes of CTS pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 2080.1 (Cal. Reg. Notice Reg- ister 2018, No. 41−Z, p.1825). On August 22, 2017, the Applicant sent the Director of CDFW a Rescind Re- quest to further evaluate and coordinate with CDFW on the CE and associated instruments for funding manage- ment activities. On September 27, 2018, the Applicant once again submitted to the Director of CDFW a consis- tency determination (CD) request. DETERMINATION CDFW has determined that the Project is consistent with CESA for CTS because the mitigation measures contained in the ITP and its associated HCP meet the conditions set forth in Fish and Game Code

section 2081, subdivisions (

b) and (c), for authorizing inciden- tal take of CESA−listed species. Specifically, CDFW finds that: (1) take of CTS will be incidental to an other- wise lawful activity; (2) the mitigation measures identi- fied in the HCP and ITP will minimize and fully miti- gate the impacts of the authorized take; (3) adequate funding is ensured to implement the required avoid- ance, minimization, and mitigation measures and to monitor compliance with, and effectiveness of, those measures; and (4) the Project will not jeopardize the continued existence of CTS.

The mitigation measures in the ITP and its associated HCP include, but are not limited to, the following: Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures • The Applicant will record a CE encompassing 472.86 acres with the Santa Barbara County Land Trust and establish an endowment for long−term management as mitigation for the conservation of CTS, which would also support California red−legged frog (CRLF; Rana draytonii). • The Applicant will ensure field crews participate in training prior to initiation of Project activities.

Trainings will emphasize Project−specific information on CTS, avoidance and minimization measures, roles and responsibilities, and communication/reporting protocols. • Project workers shall limit their vehicle use to existing routes of travel.

The Applicant will prohibit cross−country travel unless access is determined critical for a particular activity and the route has been flagged to avoid or minimize adverse effects. • The Applicant will ensure Project−related vehicle speeds will not exceed 10 miles−per−hour within CTS upland habitat. • Prior to moving vehicles or equipment, employees shall look under the vehicles or equipment for CTS individuals.

If an individual is observed, the vehicle shall not be moved until the animal has vacated the area on its own accord or has been relocated out of harm’s way by the Service−approved biologist. • A Service−approved biologist shall be present daily during the pre−initial ground disturbance period surveys, as well as during initial grading and excavation activities. Upon completion of initial ground disturbance, the biologist will periodically (minimum twice per week) visit the Project site throughout the construction period.

During periods of rain or heavy fog/dew, the biologist will conduct daily pre−activity surveys to ensure no CTS individuals have migrated into the work area. No construction work will be

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1984 initiated until the Service−approved biologist determines the work area is clear of CTS individuals. • The Applicant shall implement “The Declining Amphibian Task Force Fieldwork Code of Practice” for all amphibian relocation activities. The Service−approved biologist shall relocate any CTS found within the Project footprint to an active rodent burrow system located no more than 300 feet outside of the Project area unless otherwise approved by CDFW and the Service.

The Service−approved biologist shall identify relocation areas based upon best suitable habitat available. Only a Service−approved biologist shall relocate CTS. The Service−approved biologist shall document both locations by photographs and global positioning system (GPS) positions. The Service−approved biologist shall photograph and measure (snout−vent) CTS for identification purposes prior to relocation. The Applicant will provide all documentation to the Service and CDFW within 24 hours of relocation. • The Applicant will avoid rodent burrows to the maximum extent possible.

If burrows cannot be avoided, burrow excavation may be performed using hand tools or via gentle excavation using construction equipment, under the direct supervision of the Service−approved biologist. In lieu of burrow excavation, the Applicant may use steel plates or plywood to protect small mammal burrows from ground disturbance.

The Applicant will remove plates and plywood nightly when a significant rain event is forecasted within 48 hours and if work is scheduled to cease for consecutive days. • The Applicant will install exclusionary barriers at the discretion of the Service−approved biologist to minimize the potential for CTS to enter the worksite. • The Service−approved biologist will inspect steep−walled excavations (e.g., trenches) that may act as pitfall traps for wildlife at least once per day and immediately before backfilling.

In lieu of daily inspections (weekends, etc.), the Applicant will install exclusionary fencing, covers, ramps, or similar mechanisms to prevent wildlife entrapment. • The Applicant will cap or seal with tape (or equivalent material) open pipe segments each night, or otherwise will store open pipe segments at least three feet above ground. • If covered activities must occur during the rainy season, the Applicant will not work during rain events (greater than 0.5 inches of rainfall), 48 hours prior to rain events, or during the 48 hours after these events.

Monitoring and Reporting Measures • If a dead or injured CTS is found, the Applicant shall notify the Service’s Ventura Field Office at (805) 644−1766 within 72 hours. In addition, CDFW requests the notification also be submitted to CDFW at the same time. • The Applicant will conduct on−site construction monitoring, maintain daily monitoring logs, and prepare a post−construction compliance report. • By January 31 following each year of permit issuance and Project implementation, the Applicant shall submit a report to the Service’s Ventura Field Office to document the status of the Project.

The Applicant shall also provide a copy of the report to CDFW. Financial Assurances • The Applicant will provide an endowment for the long−term management of the Conservation Easement and convey it to the Santa Barbara Land Trust. A copy of the letter establishing and executing the endowment will be provided to CDFW. The Applicant will also provide a copy of the executed CE with the Santa Barbara County Land Trust for 472.86 acres as identified in the HCP as mitigation for conservation of CTS, which would also support CRLF. Pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 2080.1, take authorization under CESA is not required for the Project for incidental take of CTS, provided the Appli- cant implements the Project as described in the HCP and its associated ITP, including adherence to all mea- sures contained therein, and complies with the mitiga- tion measures and other conditions described in the HCP and its associated ITP. If there are any substantive changes to the Project, including changes to the mini- mization and mitigation measures in the HCP, or if the Service amends or replaces the ITP, the Applicant shall be required to obtain a new CD or a CESA ITP for the Project from CDFW.

FISH AND GAME COMMISSION NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF PETITION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to the provisions of

Section 2073.3 of the Fish and Game Code, the California Fish and Game Commission (Commission), on October 17, 2018, received a petition from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Defenders of Wildlife, and Center for Food Safety to list Crotch bumble bee (Bombus crotchii), Franklin’s bum- ble bee (Bombus franklini), Suckley cuckoo bumble bee (Bombus suckleyi), and western bumble bee (Bom- bus occidentalis occidentalis) as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act.

All bumble bees have three basic habitat require- ments: suitable nesting sites for the colonies, availabili- ty of nectar and pollen from floral resources throughout the duration of the colony period (spring, summer, and fall), and suitable overwintering sites for the queens. In addition, their populations can be negatively affected by both pathogens and pesticides; thus, they may re- quire habitat that is free from exposure to high levels of both native and exotic pathogens, and pesticides that cause harm to colonies. Bumble bees are found in a

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 45-Z 1987 wide variety of natural, agricultural, urban, and rural habitats, although species’ richness tends to peak in flower−rich meadows of forests and subalpine zones. Pursuant to

Section 2073 of Fish and Game Code, on October 26, 2018, the Commission transmitted the peti- tion to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) for review pursuant to

Section 2073.5 of said code. The Commission will receive the petition at its December 12−13, 2018, meeting in the QLN Confer- ence Center, 1938 Avenida del Oro, Oceanside, Califor- nia. It is anticipated that the Department’s evaluation and recommendation relating to the petition will be re- ceived by the Commission at its February 6−7, 2019, meeting in Sacramento.

Section 11349.3 OAL Matter Number: 2018−0907−03 OAL Matter Type: Regular (

S) SUMMARY OF REGULATORY ACTION The Department of Business Oversight (Department) proposed to adopt regulations that would implement the Student Loan Servicing Act, operative July 1, 2018, pursuant to which student loan service providers must be licensed to engage in the business of servicing a stu- dent loan in this state. On September 9, 2018, the Department submitted the above−referenced rulemaking action to the Office of Administrative Law (“OAL”) for review. On October 19, 2018, OAL notified the Department of OAL’s deci- sion to disapprove the proposed rulemaking.

DECISION OAL disapproved the above−referenced rulemaking action because the proposed regulations failed to com- ply with the clarity standard of the Administrative Pro- cedure Act (the “APA”). Additionally, the Department failed to follow procedural requirements of the APA in adopting the proposed regulations. All of these issues must be resolved prior to OAL’s approval of the regula- tions. This Decision of Disapproval of Regulatory Ac- tion explains the reasons for OAL’s action. CONCLUSION OAL disapproved the above−referenced rulemaking action for the foregoing reasons. Pursuant to Govern- ment Code

section 11349.4, subdivision (a), the Depart- ment may resubmit revised regulations and rulemaking documents within 120 days of their receipt of this Deci- sion of Disapproval. A copy of this Decision was emailed to the Department on the date indicated below. If you have any questions, please contact me at (916) 323−8915. Date: October 26, 2018 Beverly J.
