AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority: Sections 8207 and 8231, Education Code. References: Sections 8205, 8207, and 8231, Educa- tion Code INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The California Department of Education (CDE) has administered subsidized early education services since the Child Care and Development Services Act (Act) was established in 1980,

chapter 2 of

part 6 of the Education Code (EC), starting at

section 8200 et seq. The intent of the Act is that qualified subsidized early education services be provided to children and families meeting the eligibility criteria established un- der the Act. This Act eventually became known as the Early Education Act in 2021. The Senate Bill (SB) 98, the education omnibus budget trailer bill of 2020, transferred the following childcare programs from the CDE to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) beginning July 1, 2021:

(1) Alternative payment programs (CAPP);

(2) Migrant alternative payment programs (CMAP);

(3) CalWORKs Stage 2 (C2AP);

(4) CalWORKs Stage 3 (C3AP);

(5) General child care and development pro- grams (CCTR);

(6) Migrant child care and develop- ment programs (CMIG); and

(7) Childcare and devel- opment services for children with severe disabilities (CHAN). The effect of this transfer separated Cali- fornia State Preschool Program (CSPP) from all other childcare and early education programs leaving CDE to administer CSPP , a program which provides subsi- dized preschool services in centers and family child - care homes. In 2021, the CDE promulgated new Title 5 regula- tions, starting at

Section 17700. As part of these new regulations, CDE established a policy on “abandon - ment of care” to align with the federal requirements of the other childcare programs that CDE had adminis - tered until recently, despite the fact that the CSPP con- tains no federal dollars and is not required to follow federal requirements.

However, when the CDE ad- ministered the CSPP and all other childcare programs, the regulations promulgated for CSPP would often be in alignment with the federal requirements for other childcare programs to ensure families could seamless- ly transition from a federally–supported childcare pro- gram into the CSPP once they were age eligible and CDE wanted to continue such practice. However, due to the COVID–19 pandemic, CSPP contracts have been fiscally held harmless for all pro-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 776 gram years that the abandonment of care policy has been in effect. This means that the regulations requir- ing children’s attendance in the program which im- pact reimbursement have not been applicable; there- fore, there has not been a fiscal impact for contrac- tors due to this abandonment of care policy as there normally would have been.

While the regulations on abandonment of care met the federal requirements for childcare programs, they will create some negative fis- cal consequences that will impact CSPP contractors beginning in the 2025–26 fiscal year. The CDE under- stands that the field is not happy about these negative fiscal consequences which will occur once attendance impacts a contractor’s reimbursement again. If the at- tendance policies are not corrected due to the ending of the fiscal hold harmless for CSPP contracts, con- tractors will face fiscal consequences.

Therefore, CDE is promulgating new attendance policies which will encourage the attendance of children in CSPP while avoiding negative fiscal penalties for the contractors. Policy Statement Overview The objective of these proposed regulations is to en- sure that CSPP contractors are not negatively affected fiscally by current regulations in

Section 17819.5 and to set forth a new, cohesive, and common–sense state- wide policy on attendance that will serve both fami- lies and contractors. This will ensure that contractors are not fiscally impacted by the children’s lack of at- tendance because they are required to keep them en - rolled in the CSPP even if they are not regularly at - tending. These proposed regulations will also provide flexibility and clarification about attendance in CSPP for families.

Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The benefit of enacting these proposed regulations includes ensuring contractors are appropriately com - pensated for their work and providing appropriate clar- ity and statewide consistency on the attendance poli- cies for children attending CSPP and ensuring more efficient administration of the CSPP . Evaluation of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations An evaluation of the proposed regulations has deter- mined they are not inconsistent/incompatible with ex- isting regulations, pursuant to Government Code Sec- tion 11346.5(a) (3) (D).

After conducting a review of any regulations that would relate to or affect this area of law, the SSPI has concluded that these are the only regulations that concern the Attendance Policies in the California State Preschool Program. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION/FISCAL IMPACT The SSPI has made the following initial determinations: Other statutory requirements: There are no other matters as are prescribed by statute applicable to the specific state agency or to any specific regulations or class of regulations. Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None.

Costs to any local agencies or school districts for which reimbursement would be required pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

section 17500) of division 4 of the Government Code: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies, including local educational agen - cies: None. Costs or savings in federal funding to the state: None. Effect on housing costs: 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 SSPI is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Report required: The proposed regulations do not require a report to be made. Effect on small businesses: The proposed regula- tions would not have an effect on any small business because they are only relevant to California State Pre- school Programs contracted through the CDE.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS/ASSESSMENT Benefits of the Regulations to the Health and Welfare of California Residents, Worker Safety, and the State’s Environment — Gov. Code

Section 11346.5(a) (10): The SSPI concludes that it is unlikely that these proposed regulations will: 1) create or eliminate jobs within California; 2) create new businesses or elimi- nate existing businesses within California; or 3) affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California. Benefits of the Proposed Action: The proposed reg- ulations will benefit children and families in Califor- nia as they take advantage of high–quality early ed - ucation programs guided by these proposed regula -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 777 tions. The proposed regulations are not expected to af- fect worker safety or the state’s environment. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5(a) (13), the SSPI must determine that no rea- sonable alternative considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the SSPI would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in im- plementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The SSPI invites interested persons to present state- ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations during the written comment period.

TITLE 11.

COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING Notice is hereby given that the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) propos- es to amend regulations in Division 2 of Title 11 of the California Code of Regulations as described be - low in the Informative Digest. A public hearing is not scheduled. Pursuant to Government Code (GC) sec- tion 11346.8, any interested person, or their duly au - thorized representative, may request a public hearing. POST must receive the written request no later than 15 days prior to the close of the public comment period.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 778 PUBLIC COMMENTS DUE BY AUGUST 4, 2025. Notice is also given that any interested person, or authorized representative, may submit written com- ment(

s) relevant to the proposed regulatory action by fax at (916) 404–5619, by email to Katelynn Poulos, katelynn.poulos@post.ca.gov or by letter to: Commission on POST Attention: Katelynn Poulos 860 Stillwater Road, Suite 100 West Sacramento, CA 95605–1630 AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE This proposal is made pursuant to the authority vested by Penal Code (PC)

section 13503 (authority of POST), PC § 13506 (POST authority to adopt reg- ulations) and PC § 13510 (POST authority to estab- lish minimum standards). This proposal is intended to interpret, implement, and make specific PC § 13510, which authorizes POST to establish a certification program for peace officers in the state of California. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) (2021), which made significant changes to existing Government and Penal Codes, re- spectively.

These changes provide for additional peace officer eligibility requirements and grants POST the authority to certify all peace officers in California, and subsequently take action against those certifications, should POST determine serious misconduct occurred. While the peace officer eligibility requirements went into effect on January 1, 2022, the remaining changes to Government and Penal Codes went into effect on January 1, 2023. POST continues to review and up- date processes and regulatory actions in response to the implementation of SB 2 (2021).

This rulemaking action clarifies and makes specific the definition of terms related to peace officer certifi- cation and/or appointment, eligibility for professional certificates, and terms related to the serious miscon- duct hearing process. The regulatory amendment pro - posed in this rulemaking action will provide defini- tions for the following additional terms: Accusation, Cancelled Appointment, Cancelled Certificate, Con - ditional Certification, Corporal, Default Revocation, Denied Appointment, Denied Certificate Application, Expired, Revoked, and Stipulated Settlement.

The reg- ulatory amendment proposed in this rulemaking ac - tion will also provide updated

definitions for the fol- lowing terms: First–level Supervisory Position , and Middle Management Position. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Amendments: The benefits anticipated by the proposed amend- ments to the regulation will provide clarity by amend- ing existing terms and providing additional terms re- lated to peace officer certification. This will increase the efficiency of the state of California in deliver- ing services to stakeholders. Thus, law enforcement standards are maintained and effective in preserving peace, protection of public health, safety, and welfare in the state.

The proposed amendments will have no impact on worker safety or the state’s environment. Evaluation of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: POST has determined that these proposed amend - ments are not inconsistent nor incompatible with ex- isting regulations. After conducting a review for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area, POST has concluded that these are the only regula - tions that concern processes and procedures for peace officer eligibility in the state. FORMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There are no forms incorporated by reference.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION POST has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies or school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Costs to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with GC §§ 17500 through 17630: None. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Costs or savings in federal funding to the state: None.

Cost impacts on a representative private persons or business: POST 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. Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting California businesses: POST has de- termined that the proposed regulations will not have a significant, statewide adverse economic impact direct- ly affecting businesses, including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in oth- er states. Significant effect on housing costs: None.

Small Business Determination: POST has deter - mined that the proposed regulations will not affect small businesses because the regulation addresses pro-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 779 viding clarity by amending existing terms and provid- ing additional terms related to peace officer certifica- tion. Additionally, the Commission’s main function to establish and maintain training standards for law en- forcement has no financial effect on small businesses.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS/ASSESSMENT POST concludes that it is (1) unlikely the propos- al will create nor eliminate jobs in the state of Cali- fornia, (2) unlikely that the proposal will create new businesses nor eliminate any existing businesses, and (3) unlikely that the proposed regulations will result in the expansion of businesses currently doing business within the state.

Benefits of the Proposed Action: As stated above under the Informative Digest/Policy Statement Over - view, the benefits of the regulation will increase the ef- ficiency of the state of California in delivering services to stakeholders. Thus, the law enforcement standards are maintained and effective in preserving peace, pro- tection of public health, safety, and welfare in Califor- nia. There would be no impact that would affect work- er safety or the state’s environment.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with GC § 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), POST must determine that no reasonable al- ternative it considered, or that has otherwise identified and brought to its attention, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is pro- posed, or would be as effective as and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private per- sons and equally effective in implementing the statu- tory policy or other provision of law than the proposed action.

section 13503 (authority of POST), PC

section 13506 (POST authority to adopt regulations). This proposal is intended to interpret, im- plement, and make specific PC

section 13503(e), which authorizes POST to develop and implement programs to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement, in- cluding peace officer selection and certification and programs involving training and education courses. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW On September 30, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) 2. SB 2 made significant changes to existing Government and Penal Codes, respectively. These changes provide for additional peace officer hir- ing eligibility requirements.

SB 2 also grants POST the authority to certify all peace officers in California, and subsequently take action against those certifications, should POST determine serious misconduct occurred. While the peace officer eligibility hiring requirements went into effect on January 1, 2022, the remaining changes to Government and Penal Codes went into ef- fect on January 1, 2023. POST is continuing to assess the requirements of SB 2 and adopt new or amend cur- rent regulations to meet these requirements.

This rulemaking action proposes to adopt Commis - sion Regulation 1216 and incorporate by reference, the POST Disciplinary Guidelines: Factors for Consider- ation of Penalty Related to Peace Officer Certifica - tion Actions (2025). The proposed regulation and in - corporated disciplinary guidelines will help establish consistent guidelines for considering whether

an act, or acts, of serious misconduct warrant(

s) suspension or revocation of a subject peace officer’s certification. The proposed regulation and incorporated disci - plinary guidelines will provide a framework for the administrative law judges (ALJs) of the Office of Ad- ministrative Hearings (OAH) in recommending appro- priate disciplinary actions to the Commission based on the nature and severity of the allegation of serious misconduct. This is necessary as the ALJs who will be conducting the evidentiary hearings will not necessar- ily possess the experience or specialized knowledge of investigations into peace officer misconduct.

As these hearings will be held throughout the State, the pro- posed disciplinary guidelines will ensure a consistent framework and application when considering the facts of the case alongside potential aggravating and miti - gating factors throughout the State. By providing clear guidelines, the proposed regulation and incorporated disciplinary guidelines will also increase the effective- ness of law enforcement standards for peace officers in preserving the peace, protection of public health and safety, and welfare of California.

There would be no effect regarding the environment, the prevention of discrimination, and the increase in openness and transparency in business and government. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Amendments: The benefits anticipated by the proposed regulation and incorporated disciplinary guidelines will provide clarity related to potential disciplinary actions taken against a peace officer’s certification when they have been found to have engaged in acts of serious mis - conduct as defined in Penal Code

section 13510.8 and Commission Regulation 1205. Additionally, the pro - posed regulation and incorporated disciplinary guide - lines will increase the effectiveness of law enforce- ment standards for peace officers in preserving peace, protection of public health and safety, and welfare of California. There would be no effect in regard to the environment, the prevention of discrimination, and the increase in openness and transparency in business and government.

Evaluation of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: POST has determined that the proposed regulation is not inconsistent nor incompatible with existing reg- ulations. After conducting a review for any regula- tions that would relate to or affect this area, POST has concluded that this is the only regulation that concerns disciplinary guidelines. FORMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There are no forms to be incorporated by reference.

However, the POST Disciplinary Guidelines: Factors for Consideration of Penalty Related to Peace Officer Certification Actions (2025) is a 29–page document that will be incorporated by reference.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 781 DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION POST has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies or school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Costs 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. Costs or savings in federal funding to the state: None.

Small Business Determination: POST has deter - mined that the proposed regulations will not affect small business because the regulations only affect state agencies that are adopting, amending, or repeal - ing regulations. Additionally, the Commission’s main function to select and maintain hiring, training, and certification standards for law enforcement has no ef- fect financially on small businesses.

Benefits of the Proposed Action: As stated above under the Informative Digest/Policy Statement Over - view, the benefits of the regulation will increase the efficiency of the state of California in delivering ser- vices to stakeholders by establishing consistent guide- lines for considering whether

an act, or acts, of serious misconduct warrant(

s) suspension or revocation of a subject peace officer’s certification. Thus, law enforce- ment standards are maintained and effective in pre- serving peace, protection of public health, safety, and welfare in California. There would be no impact that would affect worker safety or the state’s environment. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), POST must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered, or that has otherwise identified and brought to its attention, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, or would be as ef- fective as and less burdensome to affected 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 than the proposed action.

Section 98 of Division 1 of Title 16 of the California Code of Regu- lations 2 (CCR) (CBA Regulations). INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The CBA licenses, regulates, and investigates com - plaints aga inst fi ve d ifferent l icense ca tegories i n C al- ifornia, t otaling a pproximately 1 15,000 l icensees a nd registrants. These licensing categories include Public Accountant, C ertified P ublic A ccountant ( CPA), A c- countancy Corporation, Accountancy Partnership, and o ut–of–state r egistered a ccounting fi rm.

I t is t he CBA ’s duty to enforce and administer the Accoun - tancy A ct C hapter 1 ( commencing w ith se ction 5 000) of Division 3 of the BPC. The CBA is authorized to establish necessary rules and regulations for the en- forcement of the Accountancy Act and laws subject to its jurisdiction (BPC

section 5010). The CBA ’s mission is to protect consumers by en- suring o nly q ualified l icensees p ractice p ublic a c- countancy i n a ccordance w ith e stablished p rofession- al standards. Existing l aw, B PC se ction 5 116, r equires t he C BA to establish criteria for assessing administrative pen - alties for violations of the Accountancy Act. Existing l aw, G C se ction 1 1425.50(

e) s pecifies t hat a penalty may not be based on a guideline, criterion, bulletin, manual, instruction, order, standard of gener- al application, or other rule unless it has been adopted as a regulation. Existing r egulation, C CR s ection 9 8, i ncorporates by reference the CBA ’s “Disciplinary Guidelines and Model Orders, 10 th e dition, 2 019” ( Disciplinary G uide- lines). T he C BA r eviews t he D isciplinary G uidelines for relevancy on a triennial basis and the latest edition was a dopted i n J une 2 021. T he C BA is p roposing t o amend CCR

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 783 tional Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) Center for the Public Trust (CPT) Eth- ics Leadership Training in the Disciplinary Guide - lines with the intent of promoting ethical practices for licensees receiving discipline. Under this proposal, the NASBA CPT Ethics Lead- ership Training would be added to the Standard Con- ditions of Probation, under Model Order 26, with the existing terms of Ethics Continuing Education.

These trainings are also added under the “If warranted” sec- tion of the Conditions of Probation allowing the CBA to impose one or both trainings depending on the se - verity of the violations of the Accountancy Act and/or CBA Regulations. During the July 2023 meeting, the CBA also decid - ed to add language to the Rehabilitation Evidence sec- tion regarding petitions for reduction of penalty. This proposal adds paragraph “h” to the Rehabilitation Ev- idence

section as an additional type of evidence the Respondent may submit to the CBA. The new para- graph details the supporting documents licensees can include in their Petition for Reduction of Penalty, as it relates to a financial penalty. During the January 2024 meeting, the CBA ap - proved the initiation of a rulemaking to move the exist- ing Tolling of Probation for Out–of–State Residence/ Practice term from a standard term to an optional term of probation. The CBA also decided to add a standard term and condition allowing a licensee to surrender a license while on probation.

The CBA approved staff’s recommendations to include these changes in the next edition of the Disciplinary Guidelines. The existing language under Model Order 23, re- lated to tolling of probation for out–of–state licensees would move to new Model Order 50 under the Option- al Terms for Probation section. The new Model Order 50 would add language providing reference to instanc- es of which would not be considered tolling, therefore allowing the probation term to expire. In place of the old Model Order 23, new language would be added to allow a licensee to surrender a li- cense while on probation.

Due to the critical nature of the document and the fact it is often relied upon by the CBA, licensees, at - torneys, and Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) during the imposition of discipline, the aforemen - tioned revisions are necessary to address the changes that have been made to the process and to ensure the CBA imposes discipline against licensees in a consis - tent manner.

Anticipated Benefits of Proposal The CBA has determined that this regulatory pro - posal will have the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment: This regulatory proposal may benefit the health and welfare of California residents because the updated Disciplinary Guidelines will improve clarity for staff, licensees and individuals involved in the disciplinary process.

Evaluation of Consistency and Compatibility with Existing State Regulations During the process of developing this regulatory proposal, the CBA has conducted a search of any sim- ilar regulations on this topic and has concluded that these regulations are neither inconsistent nor incom - patible with existing state regulations. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE Disciplinary Guidelines and Model Orders, 11th Edition (2023). DISCLOSURES REGARDING THIS PROPOSED ACTION FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs or Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None.

The proposed regulations do not result in a fiscal impact to the state. This proposal provides revisions to the CBA ’s Disci- plinary Guidelines, which would provide greater clar- ity to licensees, consumers, the CBA, attorneys, and ALJs by outlining the range of enforcement actions re- lated to violations of the Accountancy Act, CBA Reg- ulations, and other provisions. The CBA does not anticipate additional workload or costs resulting from the proposed regulations. This proposal does not change the fines for violations, so no additional revenues are anticipated.

The regulations do not result in costs or savings in federal funding to the state. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agencies None. Cost to any Local Agency or School District for which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Require Reimbursement None.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 784 Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Districts None. Significant Effect on Housing Costs (and, if applicable, including any estimated costs of compliance or potential benefits of a building standard) None. BUSINESS IMPACT ESTIMATES The CBA has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

This initial determination is based on the following facts/evidence/documents or testimony: The proposed amendments to the Disciplinary Guidelines would only impact CBA licensees who are disciplined and placed on probation for violations of the Accountancy Act or CBA Regulations. The CBA imposes probationary terms on a case–by–case basis and depend on the severity of the violation(s).

The proposed regulatory action would only adverse- ly affect a negligible number of licensees who, through their conduct, subject themselves to disciplinary ac - tion for violations of the laws and regulations with- in the CBA ’s jurisdiction. Any potential “adverse eco- nomic impact” may be avoided simply by complying with the existing laws and regulations governing the practice of public accountancy in California.

Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business: The CBA 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.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS Impact on Jobs/Businesses: The CBA has determined that the proposed regula - tory action will not have any impact on the following: 1) the creation or elimination of jobs within the state, 2) the creation of new businesses or the elimination of existing businesses within the state, or, 3) the expansion of businesses currently doing busi- ness within the state. This proposal would not have any of the above–referenced impacts as explained in the “Busi- ness Impact Estimates”

section of this notice. Benefits of Regulation: The CBA has determined that this regulatory pro - posal will have the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment: This regulatory proposal may benefit the health and welfare of California residents because the updated Disciplinary Guidelines will improve clarity for staff, licensees and individuals involved in the disciplinary process.

The proposed changes enable the CBA to meet its mandate to protect consumers by ensuring that a licensee providing public accounting services to consumers is sufficiently rehabilitated and only quali- fied licensees practice public accountancy. This regulatory proposal does not affect worker safety because the regulatory proposal does not relate to worker safety. Business Reporting Requirements: The regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the CBA. Effect on Small Business: The CBA has determined that the proposed regula - tions would not affect small businesses.

The CBA does not maintain data relating to the number or percentage of licensees who are a small business but does not an- ticipate small businesses to be impacted. The proposed amendments to the Disciplinary Guidelines would only impact CBA licensees who are disciplined and placed on probation for violations of the Accountancy Act or CBA regulations. The CBA imposes probationary terms on a case–by–case basis and depend on the severity of the violations.

section 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), the CBA must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered to the regulation or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in car- rying out the purpose for which the action is proposed; would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposal described in this No- tice; or would be more cost–effective to affected pri- vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

TITLE 16. BOARD OF PHARMACY MEDICATION–ASSISTED TREATMENT PROTOCOL NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the California State Board of Pharmacy (Board) proposes taking the rulemaking action described below, under the head- ing Informative Digest/Policy Statement Overview. Any person interested may present statements or ar - guments relevant to the action proposed in writing. PUBLIC HEARING The Board has not scheduled a public hearing on this proposed action.

The Board will, however, hold a hearing if it receives a written request for a public hearing from any interested person, or that person’s authorized representative, no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period. A hear- ing may be requested by making such request in writ-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 786 ing, addressed to the individuals listed under “Contact Person” in this notice. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Written comments relevant to the action proposed, including those sent by mail, facsimile, or email to the addresses listed under “Contact Person” in this No - tice, must be received by the Board at its office no later than August 4, 2025, or must be received by the Board at the hearing, should one be scheduled. Authority and Reference : Pursuant to the authority vested by

section 4052 of the Business and Professions Code (BPC), the Board is considering adding

section 1746.6 to Title 16 of the California Code of Regula - tions (CCR). Informative Digest/Policy Statement Overview The California State Board of Pharmacy is a state agency vested with the authority to regulate the phar- macy industry, including pharmacies, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians (BPC sections 4000, et seq.). The Board’s mandate and mission are to protect the public (BPC

section 4001.1). An estimated 1.4 million Americans are addict - ed to opioid painkillers and 438 thousand have a heroin–related opioid addiction. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), treatment for opi- oid addiction requires continuing care and not an acute–care approach. Many of those with an opioid addiction benefit from treatment with medication for varying lengths of time, including lifelong treatment. Medication–Assisted Treatment (MAT) is used to treat substance use disorders, as well as to sustain recovery and prevent overdose.

Medications used in MAT are approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and MAT programs are clinically driven and tailored to meet each patient’s needs. This patient–centered care empowers patients with information that helps them make better treatment decisions with the healthcare professionals involved in their care. Previously, any prescriber who wished to treat an opioid use disorder with the prescription medication buprenorphine was required to obtain a DATA Waiv- er (X–waiver) from SAMHSA to do so lawfully, and had to complete several hours of specialized training to be approved for the waiver.

The federal government loosened those requirements in 2021, allowing pro- spective prescribers to obtain a waiver without com- pleting training, as long as they limited the number of patients they treated with buprenorphine to thir- ty. Effective January 1, 2023, federal law was amend- ed to expand access to MAT, including removing the X–waiver requirement. As such, and as permitted by applicable state law, all practitioners who have a cur- rent Drug Enforcement Agency registration that in - cludes

Schedule III authority may now prescribe bu- prenorphine to treat Opioid Use Disorder. Existing Pharmacy Law at BPC

section 4052(a) (14) (as amended in 2022) authorizes pharmacists to pro- vide MAT pursuant to a state protocol, to the extent authorized by federal law. The Board’s proposes es- tablishing the state protocol (required by BPC

section 4052(a) (14)), specifically the requirements of appro- priate education and training, providing a confidential area for services, performing an assessment, develop - ing a treatment plan, specific documentation, and col- laborating with health care providers. The protocol was developed in consultation with ex- perts in the field, including: 1. Dr. James Gasper, BCPP, Psychiatric and Sub - stance Use Disorder Pharmacist, California De - partment of Health Care Services. 2. Dr. Talia Puzantian, BCPP, Professor of Clinical Sciences, KGI School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. 3. Dr.

Michelle Geier, BCPP, Psychiatric Pharmacy Supervisor, San Francisco Department of Public Health, Behavioral Health Services. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The Board has determined that this regulatory pro - posal will have the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents, and will have no effect on worker safety and the state’s environment. Protection of the public is the Board’s highest pri - ority in exercising its licensing, regulatory, and dis- ciplinary functions.

The proposed regulation will en- sure that there is proper oversight of practitioners who provide medication–assisted treatment (MAT). With the change in the federal law and the Board’s proposed regulation, pharmacists that choose to provide MAT will be well–positioned to serve as important access points for patients in need of MAT. This will benefit the health and welfare of California residents.

Evaluation of Consistency and Compatibility with Existing State Regulations While developing this regulatory proposal, the Board conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and concluded that these regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations. FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs/ Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None. The proposed regulations do not result in a fiscal impact to the state.

The Board does not anticipate the proposed regu - lation resulting in an increase in workload, enforce-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 787 ment activity, or costs. Additionally, compliance will be verified through routine pharmacy inspections. Other non–discretionary costs or saving imposed on local agencies: None. Cost to any Local Agency or School District for which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Re - quire Reimbursement: None. Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Dis- tricts: None. Significant Effect on Housing Costs: None.

BUSINESS IMPACT ESTIMATES The Board has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no signif- icant statewide adverse economic impact directly af- fecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This initial determination is based on the absence of testimony to that effect during the public discussion and development of the proposed regulation.

The pro- posed regulation establishes the state protocol phar - macist licensees must follow should they wish to pro- vide MAT; however, there are no additional require- ments for businesses. Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business: The Board 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 Business: While the Board does not have, nor does it maintain, data to determine if any of its licensees (pharmacies and clinics) are a “small business,” as defined in Gov- ernment Code

section 11342.610, the Board has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action will not affect small businesses. All pharma- cists have the option of providing MAT should they wish to meet the federal requirements and comply with the proposed regulation, whether they work at a small community pharmacy or a large chain pharma - cy. It will impact individuals and not businesses.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS Impact on Jobs/Businesses: The Board has determined that this proposal will not: (1) create jobs within California; (2) eliminate jobs within California; (3) create new businesses within California; (4) eliminate of existing businesses within California; (5) expand businesses currently doing business in the State of California. The Board determined that this proposal will not create or eliminate jobs or businesses. The proposed regulation establishes the state protocol pharmacist licensees must follow should they wish to provide MAT.

Providing MAT to patients is an optional treat- ment pharmacists may provide and is not mandated. Pharmacists that choose to provide MAT will serve as important access points for patients in need of MAT, which will benefit the health and welfare of Califor- nia residents. The proposed regulation will not impact worker safety or the state’s environment. Benefits of Regulation: The Board has determined that this regulatory pro - posal will have the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents, and will have no effect on worker safety and the state’s environment.

Protection of the public is the Board’s highest pri - ority in exercising its licensing, regulatory, and dis- ciplinary functions. The proposed regulation will en- sure that there is proper oversight of practitioners who provide medication–assisted treatment (MAT). With the change in the federal law and the Board’s proposed regulation, pharmacists that choose to provide MAT will be well–positioned to serve as important access points for patients in need of MAT. This will benefit the health and welfare of California residents.

Business Reporting Requirements: The regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the Board. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5(a) (13), the Board determined that no reason- able alternative that it considered to the regulation, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposal described in this Notice, or would be more cost–effective to affected private per- sons and equally effective in implementing the statu- tory policy or other provision of law.

Any interested person may submit comments, in writing, relevant to the above determinations at the address listed for the Contact Person during the writ- ten comment period, or at the hearing if one is sched - uled or requested.

article 4 of division 20 of title 16 of the Cal- ifornia Code of Regulations (CCR) 1. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW BPC

section 4800.1 mandates that the protection of the public shall be the highest priority of the Board in e xercising i ts l icensing, r egulatory, a nd d isciplinary functions.

ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF PROPOSAL The regulatory proposal supports consumer pro - tection by establishing minimum standards for alter - nate veterinary premises by updating the standards

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 790 for locations to follow when providing veterinary ser- vices. The maintenance of consistent standards across all premises regulated by the Board helps ensure the health and safety of the public, the animal patients, and the clients served, regardless of location. The Board anticipates consumers will also benefit from increased availability and readability of informa- tion from the veterinary premises when the consumer has an emergency for their animals or has stopped by a veterinary premises after hours.

Veterinarians and their staff will benefit from clarification of the require- ments specific to the veterinary premises type where they provide services. In addition, standardizing all of the premises requirements will allow for consistency among the various veterinary premises types, while allowing exceptions for standards not relevant or nec- essary to ensure minimum standards of care are met in specified types of locations.

Additionally, the Board anticipates support from the public, veterinarians, and veterinary professionals in relation to vaccination events, as “designated veteri - nary professionals” would be able to provide vaccina- tions instead of only veterinarians.

Lastly, this regulatory proposal, along with the sep- arate Title 24 rulemaking referenced above, will en- sure that veterinary practice management standards are only found under title 16 of the CCR, while all apparent building standards, and any exemptions to those standards, are only found under title 24 of the CCR, and that no overlap or duplicative language ex- ists between the two areas of the CCR.

EVALUATION OF CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS During the process of developing this regulatory proposal, the Board identified overlapping and dupli- cative language between titles 16 and 24 of the CCR. Through meetings with the CBSC and the Office of Administrative Law (OAL), it was determined that building standards, along with any exemptions to building standards, can only be contained within ti- tle 24 of the CCR, as the CBSC oversees the develop- ment, adoption, approval, publication, and implemen- tation of all California building standards.

OAL there- fore cannot review or approve any building standards or exemptions to building standards. One goal of this regulatory proposal, along with the Title 24 proposal referenced above, is to ensure that all applicable building standards and related exemp- tions are contained under title 24 of the CCR and that all applicable practice management standards related to veterinary premises are contained under title 16 of the CCR. These two regulatory proposals ensure that no overlap or duplicative language exists between the two areas of the CCR.

Additionally, the Board determined that this pro - posed regulation is not inconsistent or incompatible with existing regulations. After conducting a review for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area, the Board has concluded these are the only regu- lations that concern Minimum Standards for Alternate Veterinary Premises. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THIS PROPOSED ACTION FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs or Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None.

The regulations do not result in a fiscal impact to the state, including any costs or savings to any state agency or any costs or savings in federal funding to the state. The Board does not anticipate additional workload or costs resulting from the proposed regulations. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agen - cies: None. Local Mandate: None. Cost to any Local Agency or School District for which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Re- quire Reimbursement: None. Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Districts: None. Significant Effect on Housing Costs: None.

BUSINESS IMPACT ESTIMATES The Board has made the initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no signif- icant statewide adverse economic impact directly af- fecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

This initial determination is based on the following facts: The proposal consolidates and updates existing minimum standards applicable to all veterinary prem - ises (including small animal fixed veterinary premis- es, large animal fixed veterinary premises, mobile vet- erinary premises, and animal vaccination veterinary premises) consistent with the current practice of vet- erinary medicine. Businesses and licensees are antic - ipated to comply with the regulations within normal business operations at no additional costs.

The Board does anticipate that there may be an in - crease in the hiring of “designated veterinary person - nel” when vaccination events are provided to the pub- lic since the services may be provided by addition -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 791 al personnel besides the veterinarian(s), but does not have estimates of the number or quantity of personnel that may be hired at this time. Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business The Board 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. Any workload and costs to comply with the regu- lations are anticipated to be completed and incurred within normal business operations.

Business Reporting Requirements The regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the Board. Effect on Small Business The Board has determined that the proposed regula- tions are not expected to result in additional workload or costs to existing and small businesses. Although small businesses owned by licensees of the Board may be impacted, the Board does not maintain data relat - ing to the number or percentage of licensees who own a small business; therefore, the number or percentage of small businesses that may be impacted cannot be predicted.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS The Board has determined that this regulatory pro - posal will not have a significant impact on the creation of jobs or new businesses or the elimination of jobs or existing businesses or the expansion of businesses in the State of California.: ● It will not eliminate jobs within the State of Cal- ifornia because it does not impose requirements of a sufficient magnitude to eliminate businesses or eliminate licensees.

The proposal may create jobs within the State of California for “desig- nated veterinary personnel” when vaccination events are provided to the public since the ser - vices may be provided by additional personnel besides the veterinarian(s) (existing regulation limits such services to veterinarians only). How- ever, there is no anticipation for the elimination of veterinarian jobs within the State of California as the impact is on the requirements for operating veterinary premises in compliance with the law, non–substantive changes to the managing licens - ee (veterinarian’

s) responsibilities while oversee- ing the veterinary premises, and a veterinarian is still required to be on–site when a vaccination event occurs. ● The proposal is not anticipated to create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses with- in the State of California because the proposed regulation will update the minimum standards for veterinary premises consistent with current veterinary practice, and therefore these changes are is not of a magnitude that would be expected to affect existing and small businesses. ● It will not affect the expansion of businesses cur- rently doing business within the State of Califor- nia because it does not impose additional hiring requirements for owners or a managing licensee (veterinarian) over a veterinary premises.

This regulatory proposal has the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents: ● This regulatory proposal benefits the health, safe- ty, and welfare of California residents and in- creases access to veterinary care for vaccination events, by allowing “designated veterinary per- sonnel” under the supervision of a veterinarian to provide vital vaccinations to consumer’s animals to reduce the probability of the spread of diseases in the community.

The proposal will allow more veterinary professionals to provide vaccination services by expanding the animal health care tasks these professionals may provide during a vaccination event. Veterinarians and their staff will benefit from clarification of the requirements specific to the veterinary premises type where they provide services. The proposed regulation also supports consumer protection by establishing minimum standards for al - ternate veterinary premises by updating the standards for locations to follow when providing veterinary ser- vices.

The maintenance of consistent standards across all premises regulated by the Board helps ensure the health and safety of the public, the animal patients, and the clients served, regardless of location. The Board anticipates consumers will also benefit from increased availability and readability of information from the veterinary premises when the consumer has an emergency for their animals or has stopped by a veterinary premises after hours. ● It does not affect worker safety because it does not involve worker safety. ● It does not affect the state’s environment because it does not involve the environment.

AUTHORITY & REFERENCE This regulation is being adopted under the follow- ing authorities: Health and Safety Code (HSC) sec- tions 25252, 25253, and 58012 (added by Gov. Reorg. Plan Number 1, § 146, eff. July 17, 1991). This regula- tion implements, interprets, or makes specific the fol- lowing statutes: HSC sections 25252 and 25253.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST Policy Statement Overview: Background and Effect of the Proposed Regulato- ry Action: The SCP regulations were adopted in October 2013 to meet the statutory requirements outlined in HSC sections 25252 and 25253.

The regulations outline a science–based process for evaluating Chemicals of Concern in consumer products and safer alternatives by: ● Establishing a list of Candidate Chemicals and specifying criteria by which these may be desig- nated Chemicals of Concern; ● Establishing a process to identify and prioritize product and Candidate Chemical combinations that may be listed as Priority Products;

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 794 ● Requiring manufacturers of a product listed as a Priority Product to notify DTSC within 60 days of the listing regulation’s effective date; ● Requiring manufacturers of a Priority Product to determine how best to reduce exposures to the Chemical(

s) of Concern in the product; ● Allowing DTSC to identify and require imple- mentation of Regulatory Responses following completion of an Alternatives Analysis, if need - ed; and, ● Creating a process for persons to petition DTSC to add chemicals to the Candidate Chemicals list, add or remove Candidate Chemicals lists in their entirety, or to add or remove a product–chemical combination from the Priority Products List. DTSC proposes to add microplastics to the Candi - date Chemicals List because microplastics meet the criteria for Candidate Chemicals outlined in

section 69502.2(b). Specifically,

section 69502.2(

b) allows DTSC to identify Candidate Chemicals that exhib- it one or more hazard traits and/or environmental or toxicological endpoints by considering several factors including the chemical’s exposure potential, environ- mental fate and potential to degrade.

Following an ex- tensive review of the scientific literature and analy- sis of the known hazard traits of microplastics, DTSC concluded the following: ● There is a high potential for animals, humans, and environmentally sensitive habitats to be ex- posed to microplastics. ● Microplastics have the potential to cause or con - tribute to adverse impacts for: ○ Sensitive subpopulations, ○ Environmentally sensitive habitats, ○ Endangered or threatened species, or, ○ Environments in California designated as impaired by a California State or federal regulatory agency. ● Microplastics exhibit one or more hazard traits and/or environmental or toxicological endpoints. ● The extent and quality of information available substantiates the existence of potential adverse impacts and exposures of microplastics.

Benefits of the Proposed Regulatory Action: A primary goal of the SCP regulations is to prevent or reduce potential adverse health and environmental impacts to the State of California. Because microplas- tics are mobile in the environment, they are found in virtually all ecosystems, as well as in drinking water, household dust and indoor air. As a result, human and ecological exposure to microplastics is widespread.

This proposal to add microplastics to the Candidate Chemical List would allow DTSC to select and regu- late Priority Products containing microplastics, which would reduce microplastics in consumer products. In turn, this would reduce microplastic exposures and contribute to healthier California ecosystems, safer homes, offices, schools, workplaces, and a more sus- tainable environment, with cleaner drinking water and air.

Existing Laws and Regulations: The SCP regulations established a unique approach to regulating Chemicals of Concern in consumer products that grants DTSC authority to take actions to protect people and the environment when such actions are outside the scope of other regulatory programs. DTSC has assessed all applicable state and federal laws and regulations, as well as international treaties or agreements with the force of domestic law, related to the proposed Candidate Chemical.

DTSC has deter- mined that no state or federal regulations overlap or conflict with this proposal to add microplastics to the Candidate Chemicals List. Therefore, there is no con - flict or duplication between state or federal regulation, and this proposed rule, nor are the proposed regula - tions inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations. Document Incorporated by Reference: None.

OTHER APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS PRESCRIBED BY STATUTE California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance The proposed regulation will not result in a change in significance of any of the physical conditions with- in the environmental factors that are analyzed under CEQA. DTSC has determined none of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions apply to this project, as described in Public Resources Code

Section 21084(c), (d), and (e), and 14 CCR

Section 15300.2. DTSC has determined that the proposed regulatory amendments are actions taken by DTSC to ensure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the envi - ronment where the regulatory process involves proce- dures for protection of the environment. DTSC intends to prepare Notice of Exemption (NOE) as the appropriate CEQA document for the adoption of a rule or regulation. A draft NOE is avail- able for review during the public comment period upon request and will be filed with the State Clearing- house if the regulation is finalized. California Environmental Policy Council Review Under the provisions of Health and Safety Code

section 25252.5, the California Environmen - tal Policy Council (CEPC) reviewed the frame- work SCP regulations prior to their adoption in Oc- tober 2013 (the CEPC Resolution may be viewed at:

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 795 http://calepa.ca.gov/cepc/). Under HSC

Section 25252.5(f), the CEPC determined that the proposed regulations would not have any significant adverse im- pact on public health or the environment and could be adopted by DTSC without undergoing a multimedia life cycle evaluation. DTSC determined that further review by the CEPC is not warranted for this rulemaking because the re- quirements of HSC

section 25252.5 apply only to the creation of the SCP program and not regulations that may be required to implement this program. Peer Review DTSC requested and obtained an external scientif- ic peer review of the scientific basis of the proposed regulation pursuant to Health and Safety Code sec - tion 57004. The result of the external scientific peer review is posted to DTSC’s rulemaking website at: https://dtsc.ca.gov/regs/. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION DTSC has determined that adoption of this regula - tion will not impose a local mandate or result in costs subject to state reimbursement pursuant to

part 7 of di- vision 4, commencing with

section 17500, of the Gov- ernment Code or other nondiscretionary costs or sav - ings to local agencies. Mandate on Local Agencies and School Districts: None. Costs or Savings to Any State Agency: None. However, in the future, engaging in potential compli- ance oversight activities with manufacturers of newly regulated Priority Products containing microplastics would generate minor and absorbable costs for DTSC. Cost to Any Local Agency or School District Which Must Be Reimbursed in Accordance With Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None.

Other Nondiscretionary Cost or Savings Im - posed on Local Agencies: None. Cost or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None. Cost Impacts on Representative Private Persons or Businesses: DTSC is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Effect on Housing Costs: DTSC has determined that the proposed regulation will have no significant effect on housing costs.

Effect on Small Businesses: DTSC has determined that the adoption of this regu- lation will not affect small businesses because the reg- ulations do not impose new responsibilities for small businesses. DETERMINATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT These regulations do not impose new responsibili- ties for businesses; therefore, DTSC has determined that the proposed changes to these regulations will not have a significant, statewide adverse impact direct- ly affecting businesses, including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in oth- er states.

The proposed regulation merely adds micro- plastics to the DTSC Candidate Chemicals List. DTSC has considered proposed regulatory alter - natives that would lessen any adverse economic im- pact on business and invites interested parties to sub - mit proposals. Submissions may include the following considerations: i. The establishment of differing compliance or reporting requirements or timetables that consider the resources available to businesses. ii. Consolidation or simplification of compliance and reporting requirements for businesses. iii.

The use of performance standards rather than prescriptive standards. iv. Exemption or partial exemption from the regulatory requirements for businesses.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT Creation of New Businesses or Elimination of Existing Businesses: DTSC determined that it is: (1) unlikely that the pro- posal will eliminate any jobs, (2) unlikely that the pro- posal will create an unknown number of jobs, (3) un- likely that the proposal will create new businesses, (4) unlikely that the proposal will eliminate any existing businesses, and (5) unlikely that the proposed regula- tions will result in the expansion of businesses cur- rently doing business within the state.

Expansion of Businesses Currently doing Business: DTSC determined that this proposed regulation will not result in the expansion of businesses currently do- ing business within the state. Benefits of the Regulation on the Health and Welfare of California Residents, Worker Safety, and the State’s Environment: The proposed regulations will benefit the health and welfare of California residents, state’s environment, and worker safety. As stated above, future actions en- abled by this rule will reduce microplastic exposures in consumer, contributing to healthier California eco -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 796 systems, safer homes, offices, schools, workplaces, and a more sustainable environment, with cleaner drinking water and air.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES DTSC must determine that no reasonable alterna - tive it considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of DTSC 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 private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 25–Z 797 GENERAL PUBLIC INTEREST DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT ACT CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION NUMBER 1653–2025–159–001–R1 Project: Honey Lake Wildlife Area Water Delivery Improvement Project Location: Lassen County Applicant: California Department of Fish and Wildlife, as represented by Robert Schrag Background Project Location: The Honey Lake Wildlife Area Water Delivery Improvement Project (Project) is lo- cated approximately 20 miles southwest of Susan- ville in Lassen County, along the Susan River, sur - rounded by managed seasonal wetlands on the Flem- ing Unit of the Honey Lake Wildlife Area, at a prop - erty owned by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 119 –340 –17–11; 119 –340 –59 –11.

Project Description: CDFW (Applicant) proposes to enhance or restore habitat within the Susan River and surrounding wetlands to provide a net conserva- tion benefit for migratory bird species. The purpose of the Project is to improve water delivery to and en- hance approximately 130 acres of CDFW managed wetlands in the Honey Lake Wildlife Area (HLW A). CDFW managed wetlands within the Fleming Unit of the HLWA provide spring migration and breeding hab- itat to a variety of waterfowl, waterbird, and shorebird species within the Southern Oregon and Northeastern California (SONEC) waterfowl priority region.

The Project will replace three dilapidated intake wa- ter control structures (WCS) located along the Susan River. The existing WCS have been buried in sedi- ment and are no longer functioning properly. There are three work areas, one at each WCS location. In addition to removing the old WCS and replacing them with new WCS, activities in each work area include mechanical work to complete minor berm improve- ments and recontouring, and minor grading activities within existing ditches and the Susan River to provide positive drainage to and from each WCS.

Riprap will be placed at each WCS inlet and outlet to prevent ero- sion, and topsoil and vegetation strips will be placed to revegetate disturbed soils. Staging areas and access will occur via the existing two–track, dirt road along the berms. All construction activities will be complet- ed during the dry season when work areas are dry. The Project will result in the enhancement of 130 acres of managed wetlands. Project Size: The total area of ground disturbance associated with the Project is approximately 0.026 acres and 108 linear feet.

The proposed Project com - plies with the General 401 Certification for Small Hab- itat Restoration Projects and associated categorical ex- emption from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Code Regs., title 14, § 15333). Project Associated Discharge: Discharge of materi- als into Waters of the State, as defined by Water Code

section 13050, subdivision (e), resulting from the Proj- ect include those associated with the following: rock, soil, High–Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, and precast concrete risers.

Project Timeframes: Start date: June 2025 Completion date: October 2025 Work window: June 1–October 31 Water Quality Certification Background : Because the Project’s primary purpose is habitat restoration in- tended to improve the quality of waters in California and improve migration and breeding habitat to a vari - ety of waterfowl, waterbird, and shorebird species, the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (Re- gional Water Board) issued a Notice of Applicability (NOA) for Coverage under the State Water Resourc- es Control Board General 401 Water Quality Certi - fication Order for Small Habitat Restoration Projects SB12006GN (Order) (Waste Discharge Identification (WDID) Number 6A182504004 for the Project.

The NOA describes the Project and requires the Applicant to comply with terms of the Order. Additionally, the Applicant has provided a supplemental document that sets forth measures to avoid and minimize impacts to native species. Receiving Water: Susan River.

Filled or Excavated Area: Permanent area impacted: 0.026 Temporary area impacted: 0 Length temporarily impacted: 0 linear feet Length permanently impacted: 108 linear feet Discharge Volume: 65 cubic yards (cy) of rock (rip- rap), 10 cy of rock (aggregate base, small rock), 100 cy of soil, three 48–inch HDPE pipes, and three 5–foot by 4–foot precast concrete risers. Regional Water Board staff determined that the Project may proceed under the Order.

Additionally, Regional Water Board staff determined that the Proj- ect, as described in the Notice of Intent (NOI) com- plies with the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.).
