FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Fair Polit - ical Practices Commission, pursuant to the authority vested in it by Sections 82011, 87303, and 87304 of the Government Code to review proposed conflict–of– interest codes, will review the proposed/amended conflict–of–interest codes of the following: CONFLICT–OF–INTEREST CODES AMENDMENT STATE AGENCY: California Cultural and Historical Endowment ADOPTION MULTI–COUNTY: CalBright College A written comment period has been established commencing on October 13, 2023 and closing on No- vember 27, 2023.

Written comments should be direct- ed to the Fair Political Practices Commission, Atten - tion Daniel Vo, 1102 Q Street, Suite 3000, Sacramen- to, California 95811. At the end of the 45–day comment period, the pro - posed conflict–of–interest codes will be submitted to the Commission’s Executive Director for his review, unless any interested person or his or her duly autho - rized representative requests, no later than 15 days pri- or to the close of the written comment period, a public hearing before the full Commission.

If a public hear - ing is requested, the proposed codes will be submitted to the Commission for review. The Executive Director of the Commission will review the above–referenced conflict–of–interest codes, proposed pursuant to Government Code Sec - tion 87300, which designate, pursuant to Government Code

Section 87302, employees who must disclose certain investments, interests in real property and income. The Executive Director of the Commission, upon his or its own motion or at the request of any interested person, will approve, or revise and approve, or return the proposed codes to the agency for revision and re– submission within 60 days without further notice. Any interested person may present statements, ar - guments or comments, in writing to the Executive Director of the Commission, relative to review of the proposed conflict–of–interest codes.

Any written comments must be received no later than November 27, 2023. If a public hearing is to be held, oral com - ments may be presented to the Commission at the hearing. COST TO LOCAL AGENCIES There shall be no reimbursement for any new or in- creased costs to local government which may result from compliance with these codes because these are not new programs mandated on local agencies by the codes since the requirements described herein were mandated by the Political Reform Act of 1974. There- fore, they are not “costs mandated by the state” as de- fined in Government Code

Section 17514. EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS AND BUSINESSES Compliance with the codes has no potential effect on housing costs or on private persons, businesses or small businesses. AUTHORITY Government Code Sections 82011, 87303 and 87304 provide that the Fair Political Practices Commission as the code–reviewing body for the above conflict–of– interest codes shall approve codes as submitted, revise the proposed code and approve it as revised, or return the proposed code for revision and re–submission.

REFERENCE Government Code Sections 87300 and 87306 pro - vide that agencies shall adopt and promulgate conflict– of–interest codes pursuant to the Political Reform Act and amend their codes when change is necessitated by changed circumstances. CONTACT Any inquiries concerning the proposed conflict– of–interest codes should be made to Daniel Vo, Fair Political Practices Commission, 1102 Q Street, Suite 3000, Sacramento, California 95811, telephone (916) 323–9103.

TITLE 2. F AIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Fair Political Practices Commission (the Commission or FPPC), un- der the authority vested in it under the Political Reform Act (the Act) 1 by

Section 83112 of the Government Code, proposes to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations in Title 2, Division 6 of the California Code of Reg - ulations. The Commission will consider the proposed regulation at a public hearing on or after November 16, 2023, at the offices of the Fair Political Practices Commission, 1102 Q Street, Suite 3000, Sacramento, California, commencing at approximately 10:00 a.m. Written comments should be received at the Commis- sion offices no later than 5:00 p.m. on November 14, 2023.

BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW It was brought to the attention of staff that there may be uncertainty within the regulated community as to whether the Act’s lobbying provisions applied to attempts to influence the actions of the California Citizen Redistricting Commission (CRC). Proposed amendment to Regulation 18202 makes clear that ac - tions taken by the CRC in drawing district lines are quasi–legislative administrative actions, which in ef - fect clarifies that attempts to influence the CRC may constitute lobbying under the Act.

Every ten years the CRC redraws boundaries for Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts, as authorized by the “Voters FIRST Act” (2008) and the “Voters FIRST Act for Congress” (2010). The CRC has one year to complete and vote on district maps. During this time the CRC will draw district lines, research, and analyze pertinent data to their decision making, hire support staff, and prepare legal defense if need - 1 The Political Reform Act is contained in Government Code Sections 81000 through 91014.

All statutory references are to the Government Code, unless otherwise indicated. The regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission are contained in Sec - tions 18110 through 18997 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations. All regulatory references are to Title 2, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations, unless otherwise indicated. ed. Additionally, the CRC is required to hold public meetings and accept public comment.

As with any state agency, the CRC is required to adopt and pro - mulgate a conflict–of–interest code and designated of- ficials of the agency, including the Commissioners for the CRC, are required to file Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700). The FPPC approved the CRC’s Conflict–of–Interest Code in 2015 and has provided advice to current and prospective CRC commissioners numerous times on their obligation to file Statements of Economic Interest.

A lobbyist is any person who receives $2,000 or more in a calendar month, or whose principal duties as an employee are, to communicate with any elec - tive state official, agency official, or legislative official for the purpose of influencing legislative or adminis - trative action. (Section 82039(a)(1).) 2 Under the Act, “administrative action” is defined to include all quasi– legislative actions (Section 82002(a)(1).) While the Act does not define quasi–legislative, California courts have often defined the term in the context of judicial review.

Courts have found that “quasilegislative acts involve the adoption of rules of general application on the basis of broad public policy.” (Save Civita Because Sudberry Won’t v. City of San Diego ( 2 0 2 1 ) 7 2 C a l . App.5th 957, 983.) Regulation 18202 further defines quasi–legislative proceedings by clarifying what is not quasi–legislative. While there are many exclu- sions listed in the Regulation, including exclusions for quasi–judicial and ministerial proceedings, none encompass a generally applicable action applying throughout the state such as the redistricting decisions.

The CRC is required to hold public meetings and accept public comment and ultimately draws new dis- trict lines, a duty previously performed by the State Legislature. The lines drawn by the CRC will have a significant impact on the citizens of California and the democratic process. Applying the

definitions of quasi–legislative above, the CRC’s decisions will ap - ply generally on the basis of broad public policy. As the CRC performs quasi–legislative proceedings, which fall within the definition of administrative ac - tion, any attempt to influence that action is lobbying. Persons lobbying the CRC who qualify as lobbyists under the Act are required to comply with the lobby - ing provisions in Sections 86100 through 86300. REGULATORY ACTION Amend 2 Cal. Code Regs.

Section 18202 Commission staff proposes amended Regulation 18202 for adoption. Proposed amendments are intend- ed to make clear that the actions performed by the CRC 2 All statutory references are to the Government Code, unless otherwise indicated.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1337 are quasi–legislative. It is anticipated that the Com - mission will consider adding the sentence: “Proceed - ings of the California Citizens Redistricting Commis - sion are quasi–legislative.” However, the Commission may consider other related amendments including, but not limited to, alternative language clarifying that the proceedings are quasi–legislative and that any attempt to influence the CRC’s actions constitutes lobbying as to do so would be an attempt to influence quasi–legis- lative administrative action.

SCOPE The Commission may adopt the language noticed herein, or it may choose new language to implement its decisions concerning the issue identified above or any related issue.

BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND THE CONFLICT–OF–INTEREST CODE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the State Board of Education, pursuant to the authority vested in it by

section 87306 of the Government Code, proposes amendment to its conflict–of–interest code. A com - ment period has been established commencing on October 13, 2023, and closing on November 27, 2023. All inquiries should be directed to the contact listed below. The State Board of Education proposes to amend its conflict–of–interest code to include employee po - sitions that involve the making or participation in the making of decisions that may foreseeably have a ma - terial effect on any financial interest, as set forth in subdivision (

a) of

section 87302 of the Government Code. The amendment carries out the purposes of the law and no other alternative would do so and be less burdensome to affected persons. Changes to the conflict–of–interest code include: designating employee positions that involve influenc - ing, participating in, or making decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on a financial inter- est, as set forth in subdivision (

a) of

Section 87302 of the Government Code; removing employee positions that are no longer in existence; and makes other tech - nical changes. Information on the code amendment is available on the agency’s Intranet site and/or attached to this email. Any interested person may submit written com - ments relating to the proposed amendment by submit- ting them no later than November 6, 2023, or at the conclusion of the public hearing, if requested, which - ever comes later. At this time, no public hearing is scheduled. A person may request a hearing no later than November 10, 2023.

The State Board of Education has determined that the proposed amendments: 1. Impose no mandate on local agencies or school districts. 2. Impose no costs or savings on any state agency. 3. Impose no costs on any local agency or school district that are required to be reimbursed un - der

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 4. Will not result in any nondiscretionary costs or savings to local agencies. 5. Will not result in any costs or savings in federal funding to the state. 6. Will not have any potential cost impact on private persons, businesses or small businesses. All inquiries concerning this proposed amendment and any communication required by this notice should be directed to: Kirin Gill, Chief Counsel, 916–319– 0696, kgill@sbe.ca.gov.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1338 TITLE 11. COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING AMEND COMMISSION REGULATION 1003 AMEND COMMISSION REGULATION 1950 Notice is hereby given that the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) proposes to adopt a new regulation in Division 2 of Title 11, of the California Code of Regulations, as described below in the Informative Digest. A public hearing is not sched- uled. Pursuant to Government Code

section 11346.8, any interested person, or their duly authorized repre - sentative, 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. Public Comments Due by November 27, 2023. 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 Michelle Weiler at Michelle.Weiler@post.ca.gov, or by letter to: Commission on POST Attention: Michelle Weiler 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), and PC § 13506 (POST authority to adopt regulations). This proposal is intended to interpret, implement, and make specific PC § 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 clarifies and makes specif - ic the processes for late submissions of notices of ap - pointments and separations, corrections to the record, and notifications to POST of peace officers who have been mandatorily reinstated. POST is now required to license peace officers in the state of California. Therefore, it must ensure that individuals meet the appropriate minimum eligibility requirements for their specified peace officer classifi - cation.

When amending Commission Regulation 1003 in 2022 to establish additional requirements related to the implementation of SB 2 (2021), POST staff inad - vertently omitted amendments to subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2), respectively. These subsections are related to incorrectly submitted transactions and mandatory reinstatements. Accordingly, Commission Regulation 1950(c)(2)(

A) related to mandatory reinstatements, is being amended to reflect the proposed changes to Commission Regulation 1003(b)(2). Additionally, law enforcement agencies are required to use the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to noti - fy POST of new appointments or separations within 10 days of such an employment event. As such, POST proposes to amend existing regulation to address no - tices of appointments and separations that are submit- ted more than 60 days late.

POST is proposing to amend Commission Regula - tion 1003 to address the need for justification for late submissions of notices of appointments and separa - tions, accurate reporting and record keeping related to corrections to a peace officer’s employment record in EDI, and the correct process for notifying POST of a peace officer’s mandatory reinstatement. This is nec - essary to ensure POST maintains the most accurate records of peace officers’ employment and reasons for separation for certification and transparency pur - poses.

POST is also proposing to amend Commission Regulation 1950 to address mandatory reinstatements to align with Commission Regulation 1003. This is necessary to avoid conflicting regulations. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Amendments: The benefits anticipated by the proposed amend - ments to the regulation will ensure POST maintains the most accurate records of peace officers’ employ - ment and reasons for separation for certification. This will increase the efficiency of the state of California in delivering services to stakeholders.

Thus, the law enforcement standards are maintained and effective in preserving public health, safety, and welfare in the state. The proposed amendments will have no impact on worker safety or the state’s environment.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1339 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 this is the only regulation that concerns processes and procedures for peace offi- cer appointments in EDI. FORMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There are no forms to be 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 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.

Cost impacts on a representative private person 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 di - rectly affecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. Significant effect on housing costs: 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.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS/ASSESSMENT POST concludes that it is (1) unlikely the proposal will create nor eliminate jobs in the state of California, (2) unlikely that the proposal will create nor eliminate any businesses, and (3) unlikely that the proposed reg- ulations will result in the expansion of businesses cur- rently 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 efficiency of the state of California in delivering ser - vices to stakeholders by providing clarity regarding peace officer appointments, separations, and reinstate- ments in EDI. Thus, law enforcement standards are maintained and effective in preserving peace, protec - tion 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 § 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), POST must determine that no rea- sonable alternative it considered, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is 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 affected private persons and equally effective in im - plementing the statutory policy or other provision of law than the proposed action.

CONTACT PERSONS Questions regarding this proposed regulatory action may be directed to Michelle Weiler, Commission on POST, 860 Stillwater Road, Suite 100, West Sacra - mento, CA 95605–1630 at (916) 227– 4870.

BOARD OF BARBERING AND COSMETOLOGY SB 803 CLEAN–UP NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology (Board) is proposing to amend California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 16, Division 9, Sections 904, 909, 931, 932, 937, 962, and 998, and repeal Sections 928, 934, 950.1, 950.2, 950.3, and 950.4 as described in the Informative Di - gest below, after considering all comments, objections, and recommendations regarding the proposed action.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Pursuant to the authority vested by Sections 7312, 7338, 7340, 7357, 7337.5, and 7421 of the Business and Professions Code (BPC), and to implement, interpret or make specific BPC sections 7316, 7321, 7321.5, 7322, 7324, 7326, 7330, 7331, 7334, 7337, 7338, 7340, 7345, 7355, 7357, 7362, 7362.5, 7363, 7364, 7365, 7367, 7391, 7395.1, 7415, 7417, 7418, 7420, 7423, 7424, and 7425, the Board is considering changes to Division 9 of Title 16 of the California Code of Regulations as follows: INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The Board licenses and regulates barbers, cosme - tologists, manicurists, estheticians, hairstylists, and electrologists, and the establishments where they work in California, totaling over 50,000 establish - ments and over 560,000 individuals.

In addition to licensing individuals and establishments, the Board approves schools. Barbering, cosmetology, and elec - trology schools must first be approved by the Board and meet certain requirements, including maintaining courses of practical training and technical instruction in compliance with the Board’s laws and regulations (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 7362–7362.3). Applicants are also required to complete coursework from schools approved by the Board, including coursework in bar - bering, cosmetology, electrolysis, nail care, skin care, and hairstyling (Bus. & Prof.

Code, §§ 7321, 7321.5, 7322, 7324,7326, and 7330). It is the Board’s duty to enforce and administer the Barbering and Cosmetology Act (Chapter 10 (com -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1341 mencing with

section 7300) of Division 3 of the Busi- ness and Professions Code (BPC)) (Act).

The Board is authorized to make rules and regulations in aid or in furtherance of the Act in accordance with the Admin - istrative Procedure Act. (BPC § 7312.) In 2021, Senate Bill (SB) 803 (Chapter 648, Stat - utes of 2021) was enacted, which among other things, reduced the number of hours required for courses in barbering and cosmetology to 1,000 hours, codified in statute the minimum amount of instruction that must be included for various subjects in a course for bar - bering, cosmetology, hairstyling, skin care, and nail care, repealed the Board’s preapplication program for schools and apprenticeships, added a new “hairstyl - ing” license type, and eliminated the requirement that an applicant for licensure pass a practical examination (see Underlying data).

With the enactment of Assem - bly Bill (AB) 2196 (Chapter 527, Statutes of 2022), ef- fective January 1, 2023, electrolysis course curriculum requirements were similarly codified. As a result of the foregoing, the Board’s current reg- ulations are inconsistent with the Act and have been superseded in various areas, existing regulations need to be repealed, and new regulations need to be adopted to implement those changes. In addition, upon review, the Board needs to update its current processes and procedures for processing its applications.

The exist - ing forms for the Interpreter/Model approval process and Mobile Unit application would be repealed and the Board proposes to adopt new forms for the Mobile Unit Application, Interpreter Application, and a Proof of Training Document to include other statutory and policy changes occurring since the enactment of SB 803 and AB 2196. In accordance with the above requirements and con- siderations, the Board is proposing to amend Title 16, California Code of Regulations (16 CCR)

section 904, which sets standards for the Board’s enforcement of the Health and Safety Rules. BPC 7316 was amended to create a new hairstylist license type,

section 904 is therefore being amended to be added to the language and reference, as well as to correct several capitaliza - tion typographical errors (e.g., changing “board” to “Board”).

Section 909 is also being amended to correct cap - italization typographical errors, but also to define the new “Proof of Training Document” Form (Form #F–BBC–05 New 07/2023), which is being incor - porated by reference in this section. Existing law at BPC

section 7337 requires for each type of application for licensure that, “Each application shall be accom - panied by the required fee and shall contain proof of the qualifications of the applicant for examination and licensure.”

Section 909 is being amended to repeal existing requirements at Subsections (1)–(5), (6)(A)– (6)(D), and (7)–(9) of subdivision (

b) and (

c) related to the contents of that “proof” and placing those require- ments in a form, incorporated by reference, Proof of Training Document” form (Form #F–BBC–05 New 10/2022), and the form would also include new disclo- sure requirements and instructions, as specified.

Section 928 is being repealed in its entirety, as BPC

section 7337.5 regarding “school preapplications” was repealed by SB 803, so this CCR

section will no longer be applicable to the Board.

Section 931 is being amended to remove mention of an “Interpreter/Model”, as these models were only necessary for the practical examination, which was eliminated with the amendment of BPC

section 7338. This

section is also being amended to add the new hairstylist license type created by the amendment to BPC

section

Section 931 also seeks to repeal existing Interpreter/Model approval application forms and incorporate by reference the new “Application to Use an Interpreter” Form (Form #03A–126 New 07/2023). This new form will outline the process for a license applicant to apply for and use an interpreter during their examination as well as the requirements for the interpreter.

Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Simplified Chinese languages are being added to the subsection, as an interpreter can only be used if the applicant is unable to speak, read, or write in English at a 10 th grade level and they are unable to take the examination in a non–English language offered by the Board (Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Simplified Chinese) and complies with the other requirements of this

section as specified. This

Section would also be amended to revise existing interpreter requirements and disqualifying criteria for admission into an appli - cant’s examination as specified. This

section also con- tains grammatical and consistency changes.

Section 932 is being amended to remove the existing references to a practical demonstration requirement to reflect the amendments made to BPC

section 7338, as well as to correct capitalization errors.

Section 934 is being repealed, as BPC

section 7338 was amended to remove the practical examination au- thority for the Board, and therefore, this regulation is being repealed as information regarding appealing a candidate’s score will no longer be necessary.

Section 937 is being amended to reflect the changes made in the amendment to BPC

section 7355 enacted by SB 803, which removed the geographical bound - aries for a mobile unit to operate.

Section 937 will also repeal the existing form and incorporate by ref - erence the new “

(1008) Application for Mobile Unit License” (Form #F–BBC–05 New 07/2023). This new form will outline the process and collect the required information for a business or individual to operate a Mobile Unit licensed by the Board. This

section is also amended to remove processing times which are no longer required to be in regulation and add a new

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1342 process for returning license and inspection fees to an applicant who fails to complete the application in the time specified in BPC

section

Section 950.1 is being repealed to reflect the amend- ments made to BPC

section 7362 which removed the Board’s authority to determine by regulation the re - quired subjects of instruction to be completed in all approved courses, including the minimum number of practical operations for each subject, and the authori - ty to determine how much training is required before a student may begin performing services on paying patrons. BPC

section 7362.5 was also amended to change the course requirement from 1,500 hours to 1,000 hours and specify the curriculum topics. There - fore, this regulation regarding the curriculum for a barbering course is superseded by these changes to the Act and will no longer be applicable to the Board.

Section 950.2 is being repealed to reflect the amend- ments made to BPC

section 7362 which removed the Board’s authority to determine by regulation the re - quired subjects of instruction to be completed in all approved courses, including the minimum number of practical operations for each subject, and the authori - ty to determine how much training is required before a student may begin performing services on paying patrons. BPC

section 7362.5 was also amended to change the course requirement from 1,500 hours to 1,000 hours and specify the curriculum topics. There - fore, this regulation regarding the curriculum for a cosmetology course is superseded by these changes to the Act and will no longer be applicable to the Board.

Section 950.3 is being repealed to reflect the amend- ments made to BPC

section 7362 which removed the Board’s authority to determine by regulation the re - quired subjects of instruction to be completed in all approved courses, including the minimum number of practical operations for each subject, and the authority to determine how much training is required before a student may begin performing services on paying pa - trons. BPC

section 7364 was also amended to specify the curriculum topics. Therefore, this regulation re - garding the curriculum for a skin care course is super- seded by these changes to the Act and will no longer be applicable to the Board.

Section 950.4 is being repealed to reflect the amend- ments made to BPC

section 7362 which removed the Board’s authority to determine by regulation the re - quired subjects of instruction to be completed in all approved courses, including the minimum number of practical operations for each subject, and the authority to determine how much training is required before a student may begin performing services on paying pa - trons. BPC

section 7365 was also amended to specify the curriculum topics. Therefore, this regulation re - garding the curriculum for a nail care course is super - seded by these changes to the Act and will no longer be applicable to the Board.

Section 962 is being amended to add the additional licensing type(

s) of electrology and hairstyling. This

section was also amended to specify “appropriate training” required as a student extern that has com - pleted 25% of the required minimum practical oper - ations and minimum hours of technical instruction, so this CCR

section is being amended to match that percentage. This

section was also amended to reflect the changes made to BPC

section 7326, which was amended to define the acts of barbering and cosme - tology which the student extern may perform. It also seeks to clarify that a student extern shall not perform chemical treatments on any clients unless the extern has received appropriate training in the application of those treatments from a barbering or cosmetology school. This

section will also change the definition of the term “good standing” in subsection (a)(1) from a “valid” current license to mean a current, active, and unrestricted license.

Section 998 is being amended to remove existing references to all preapplication fees in this section, since SB 803 repealed the Board’s authority to ad - minister preapplication examinations and collect such fees.

Section 928 regarding the preapplication for ex - amination is being repealed under this proposal in accordance with SB 803, and therefore, the Board no longer has authority to collect these fees. This

section is also being amended to correct a capitalization typo- graphical error by changing “board” to “Board” and to correct obsolete cross references in the Note for this section. The Board also proposes to make technical, non– substantive, and clarifying changes throughout to change capitalization, grammar, punctuation; and en - sure the use of gender–neutral language. 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.

The Board has determined that the regulatory pro - posal will provide clarity and avoid confusion among the regulated public about licensing requirements. In addition, the proposal would provide consistency between the statutes and regulations for applicants, licensees, and schools who will benefit from these changes. The proposal will also update existing forms with corresponding instructions to assist applicants, licensees, and schools in providing the correct and re- quired information, and allow the Board to communi - cate with them more effectively. This ensures that only

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1343 qualified applicants obtain licensure for the benefit of the health and welfare of California residents. This regulatory proposal does not affect worker safety or the state’s environment. CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS During the process of developing this regulation, the Board has conducted a search of any similar regula - tions on this topic and has concluded that the proposed regulatory action is not inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations.

Forms Proposed to be Repealed or Incorporated by Reference in this Proposal: ● Mobile Unit Application (1994) (Old form to be repealed) ●

(1008) Application for Mobile Unit License (Form #F–BBC–05 (New 7/2023) (New form to be adopted) ● Request for Use of an Interpreter or Interpreter/ Model (Form #03B–125, Form G (Rev. 8/94)) and Form #03A–126, Form H (Rev. 8/94) (Old forms to be repealed) ● Application to Use an Interpreter (Form #03A– 126 (New 7/2023)) (New form to be adopted) ● Proof of Training (Form F–BBC–05 (New 07/2023)) (New form to be adopted) 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: The Board will be required to update the three forms with one–time workload and costs as follows: ● Proof of Training — $855, plus $200 to post to website ● Application to Use an Interpreter — $715 ● Application for Mobile Unit License — $1,077, plus $200 to post to website Total (one–time) costs: $3,047 Any other workload and costs of implementation are a result of current law.

The regulations do not re - sult in costs or savings in federal funding to the state. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agencies: None. Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Districts: None. Cost to Any Local Agency or School District for Which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Require Reimbursement: 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 significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This ini - tial determination is based on the following facts/evi - dence/documents/testimony or other evidence: This proposal does not require any significant new expense or reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance measures on the part of businesses, including Board approved schools.

Any costs are anticipated to be in - curred within normal business operations. Licensees and applicants are currently required to complete and submit the existing versions of the three forms, as specified, and are not anticipated to incur additional workload or costs to complete and submit the updated versions. Any other economic impacts, including costs, savings, or decreased revenues are a result of current law.

Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business: The Board is not aware of any significant cost im - pacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Licensees and applicants are currently required to complete and submit the existing versions of the three forms, as specified, and are not anticipated to incur additional workload or costs to complete and submit the updated versions. Any other economic impacts, including costs, sav - ings, or decreased revenues are a result of current law.

EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The Board has determined that the proposed regu - lation will not affect small businesses because it only seeks to clarify existing requirements for licensure and standards set by the Board. This proposal does not require any significant new expense or reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance measures on the part of businesses, including Board approved schools. Any costs are anticipated to be in - curred within normal business operations.

Licensees and applicants are currently required to complete and submit the existing versions of the three forms, as specified, and are not anticipated to incur additional workload or costs to complete and submit the updated versions.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1344 As a result, the regulations do not result in business impacts to the state. Any other economic impacts, in - cluding costs, savings, or decreased revenues are a re- sult of current law.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS: Impact on Jobs/Businesses: The Board has determined that this regulatory pro - posal will not have any 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 because this proposal only seeks to clar - ify existing requirements for licensure and standards set by the Board. It does not require any significant new expense or reporting, recordkeeping, or compli - ance measures on the part of businesses, including schools.

Licensees and applicants are currently re - quired to complete and submit the existing versions of the three forms, as specified, and are not anticipated to incur additional workload or costs to complete and submit the updated versions. 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.

The Board has determined that the regulatory pro - posal will avoid confusion about licensing require - ments and provide consistency between the statutes and regulations for applicants, licensees, and schools who will benefit from these changes. The proposal will also update existing forms with corresponding instructions to assist applicants, licensees, and schools in providing the correct and required information, and allow the Board to communicate with them more ef - fectively, thereby ensuring only qualified applicants obtain licensure for the benefit of the health and wel - fare of California residents.

This regulatory proposal does not affect worker safety or the state’s environment because it does not involve worker safety or the environment. Business Reporting Requirements: This regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the Board. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), the Board must deter - mine 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.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST AND POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The proposed amendments clarify the A&E regu - lations to streamline the A&E contracting program within DWR to make it easier for those preparing Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for contracts and eliminate all exclusions, and allow for DWR to post a “Look–Ahead Report” which constitutes publish - ing estimated ranges of contract values for upcoming A&E contracts. 23 CCR § 390 is proposed to be elim- inated since regulations require clarity, necessity, and non–duplication. As this

section accomplishes none of these objectives it should be eliminated to prevent confusion.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1346

SUMMARY OF EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS The Department’s Division of Engineering (DOE) implements

Chapter 10 of Division 5 of the Govern - ment Code and

Part 1 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code, which is commonly referred to as the Architectural and Engineering (A&

E) Contracting Program. EFFECT OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING The proposed regulation amendments clarify how the Department’s A&E Contracting Program operates. This clarification will benefit the architectural and en- gineering consulting industry who submit qualifica - tions for A&E contracts. In addition, the Department wants to clarify its ability to publish a “Look–Ahead report” which should result in more transparency, increased submittal volume, and higher quality sub - mittals from consultants. This will benefit the people of California by increasing the number and variety of consultants to select.

DIFFERENCES FROM COMPARABLE FEDERAL REGULATIONS The Brooks Act (40 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101 to 1104) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 36.6, (48 C.F.R.

Part 36, Subpart 36.6) governs the procure- ment of architectural and engineering services by fed- eral agencies. This federal authority is very similar to the statutes and regulations that govern the Depart - ment’s procurement of architectural and engineering services. The additions of

Article XXII “Architectur - al and Engineering Services” to the State of Califor - nia Constitution and Government Code §§ 4529.10– 4529.20,

Chapter 10.1, “Architectural and Engineering Services” in November 2000 were patterned after the federal Brooks Act. Both the federal regulations and those of DWR require the selection of architectural and engineering firms based on professional qualifica- tions before the negotiation of any fair and reasonable compensation for services. Although the federal and Department’s statutory and regulatory schemes operate similarly, the Depart - ment’s procurement of architectural and engineering services are only affected by federal rules if the De - partment’s subject procurement is federally funded.

COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS The Department determined that the proposed reg - ulations are consistent and compatible with existing State A&E regulations. The Department is aware that the California Department of Transportation (Cal - Trans), California Department Corrections and Reha - bilitation (CDCR), Department of General Services (DGS), California Parks and Recreation (Parks), the Department of Boating and Waterways (no longer in existence and is now the Division of Boating and Wa- terways within Parks), California High–Speed Rail Authority, have similar A&E contracting programs.

CalTrans publishes a Look Ahead Report on their A&E website online, similar to one of the changes be- ing proposed by DWR in this current rulemaking. Cal- Trans, CDCR, DGS, Parks, the Department of Boat - ing and Waterways, and California High–Speed Rail Authority do not have a

section on Exclusions, which DWR is eliminating in this current rulemaking as it simply restates existing law. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE The proposed regulations will not incorporate any documents by reference. MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS The proposed regulations are not mandated by fed - eral law or regulations. OTHER STATUTORY AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS There are no other statutory or legal requirements. LOCAL MANDATE The Department has determined that the proposed regulations changes will not impose a mandate on lo - cal agencies or school districts that is required to be reimbursed under

part 7 (commencing with

section 17500) of division 4 of the Government Code. FISCAL IMPACT Based on the findings of little or no direct economic impacts to A&E firms and given that DWR would not change its A&E solicitation, review, and contracting process, it would follow that there would be little or no related fiscal impacts to DWR. There are no expected costs or savings to local agencies or school districts, nor to any state agency, nor non–discretionary cost or savings imposed upon local agencies, nor cost or savings in federal funding to the state.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1347 HOUSING COSTS The Department has made the initial determination that the proposed regulatory action will not have a sig- nificant effect on housing costs. SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT DIRECTLY AFFECTING BUSINESS, INCLUDING ABILITY TO COMPETE The Department has made an initial determination that the proposed action will not have a significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

STATEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) The proposed action will neither create nor elimi - nate jobs within the state. The proposed action will neither create nor eliminate businesses within the state. The proposed action will not expand businesses within the state. As stated above, the proposed reg - ulations will benefit Californians generally through the streamlining of A&E contracting program and increasing the number and variety of consultants to select. The proposed regulations are not expected to affect worker safety or the state’s environment.

A&E firms spend upwards of $194,400 per SOQ prepared. However, given that DWR is not changing its A&E solicitation, review, and contracting process, there are no anticipated changes in the total number of SOQs prepared each year. There also are no anticipat- ed changes to negotiated contract values. Therefore, there are expected to be little or no economic impacts. COST IMPACTS ON A REPRESENTATIVE PERSON OR BUSINESS The Department is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.

BUSINESS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS There are no new business reporting requirements as a result of the proposed regulations. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The proposed regulations will not affect small busi- ness because there are no anticipated changes to nego- tiated contract values. Therefore, there are expected to be little or no economic impacts.

ALTERNATIVES STATEMENT The Department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Department or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Department ● would be more effective in carrying out the pur - pose for which the action is proposed, ● would be as effective and less burdensome to af - fected private persons than the proposed action, or ● would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing statutory policy or other provision of law.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY FINAL NOTICE UNIFIED PROGRAM SURCHARGE FEE CHANGE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Secretary for the California Environmental Protection Agen - cy (CalEPA) is hereby revising the Unified Program state surcharge to be assessed on regulated businesses according to the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20,

Chapter 6.11,

section 25404.5(b), and the California Code of Regulations, Title 27, Division 1, Subdivision 4,

Chapter 1,

Section 15240. The Unified Program state surcharge is an assessment on each en - tity regulated under the Unified Program and is used to fund the necessary and reasonable costs of all state agencies responsible for program implementation, on- going maintenance and oversight of the Unified Pro - gram.

Effective upon this publication in the California Regulatory Notice Register on October 13, 2023, the California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) program component of the state surcharge, which has only been increased once, 15 years ago, will be in - creased from $270 to $370 per regulated business an - nually and the Unified Program Oversight component of the surcharge will be increased from $84 to $94 per regulated business annually. No changes are being made to the Underground Storage Tank, Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act, and Refinery Safety compo - nents of the state surcharge.

Since its inception in 1997, the Unified Program has matured into a robust program with established stan - dards and a fully integrated environmental reporting system, raising increasingly numerous and complex legal issues. In 2021, the Legislature transferred to CalEPA the responsibility for managing the CalARP Program and the Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP) Program. And effective July 1, 2023, the Legislature expanded CalEPA ’s inspection and en - forcement responsibilities and authorities with respect to the HMBP and CalARP programs.

The necessary and reasonable costs of state agencies responsible for program implementation, as well as ongoing mainte - nance and oversight of the Unified Program have ex - panded substantially over the years. In recognition of the actual needs of the Unified Program, the FY 2023–24 Budget Act authorized 4 permanent positions for CalEPA, to support its admin-

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1349 istration of the Unified Program, including its respon- sibilities for the HMBP and the CalARP programs. On August 25, 2023, CalEPA publicly noticed a pro- posed increase in the CalARP and Oversight compo - nents of the state surcharge and opened a 30–day com- ment period. CalEPA did not receive any comments.

To support the necessary and reasonable costs of the program, CalEPA is hereby adopting the proposed in- crease in the state surcharge as follows: The CalARP program component of the state surcharge will be increased from $270 to $370 per regulated business annually and the Unified Program Oversight compo - nent of the surcharge will be increased from $84 to $94 per regulated business annually.

DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT ACT CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION NUMBER 1653–2023–128–001–R1 Project: Lower Tryon Creek Fish Passage and Off–Channel Habitat Project Location: Del Norte County Applicant: Monica Scholey, Smith River Alliance Background Project Location: The Lower Tryon Creek Fish Pas- sage and Off–Channel Habitat Project (Project) is lo - cated on Tryon Creek, a tributary to the lower Smith River, at a property owned by the Alexandre Family Farm; Assessor Parcel Number 105–010–003; Lati - tude/Longitude 41.897909 N, 124.193371 W.

Tryon Creek provides habitat for coho salmon ( Oncorhyn- chus kisutch), Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and other fish and wildlife species. Project Description : Monica Scholey (Applicant) representing the Smith River Alliance, proposes to restore fish passage and improve riparian and aquat - ic habitat within lower Tryon Creek to provide a net conservation benefit for coho salmon and other fish and wildlife species. Fish passage and natural stream function will be improved and restored by replacing an undersized corrugated metal pipe arch culvert with an adequately sized prefabricated bridge.

Addi - tionally, two alcoves with large wood features will be constructed to enhance off–channel aquatic rearing habitat. Revegetation with native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants will also occur in areas with sparse overstory and midstory riparian canopy. Finally, ap - proximately 1,370 feet of livestock exclusion fencing will be installed along Tryon Creek to protect riparian and aquatic habitat. Project Size: The total area of ground disturbance associated with the Project is approximately 4.23 acres and 460 linear feet.

The Applicant has included project size calculations that were used to determine the total size of the Project. The proposed Project complies with the General 401 Certification for Small Habitat Resto- ration Projects and associated categorical exemption 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: (1) a 16–foot by 40–foot prefabricated bridge, (2) 280 cubic yards of rock rip–rap, (3) 6 logs, (4) 3 acres of weed free mulch, (5) anchoring material consisting of 13 an- chor pilings and rebar pins, (6) 945 native plants, and (7) 1,370 feet of riparian fencing. Project Timeframes: Start date: September 1, 2023 Completion date: September 1, 2027. Work window: October 1 to November 1 annually, with an option for variance or extension with written approval from the Regional Water Board and CDFW.

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 fish passage, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) issued a Notice of Applicability (NOA) for Cover - age under the State Water Resources Control Board General 401 Water Quality Certification Order for Small Habitat Restoration Projects SB12006GN (Or - der) (Waste Discharge Identification (WDID) Number 1A23131WNDN, Electronic Content Management Identification (ECM PIN) Number CW–889962 for the Project.

The NOA describes the Project and requires the Applicant to comply with terms of the Order. Ad - ditionally, the Applicant has provided a supplemental document that sets forth measures to avoid and mini - mize impacts to coho salmon, Chinook salmon, steel - head trout, and other fish, wildlife, and plant species. Receiving Water: Tryon Creek, tributary to the Smith River. Filled or Excavated Area: Permanent area impacted: 0.055 acres. Temporary area impacted: 4.17 acres. Length permanently impacted: 160 linear feet. Length temporarily impacted: 460 linear feet.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 41–Z 1350 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.). Noticing: On September 5, 2023, the Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a notice from the Applicant requesting a de - termination pursuant to Fish and Game Code

Section 1653 that the NOA, NOI, and related species protec - tion measures are consistent with the Habitat Resto - ration and Enhancement Act (HREA) with respect to the Project. Pursuant to Fish and Game Code

section 1653 sub - division (c), CDFW filed an initial notice with the Of- fice of Administrative Law on September 5, 2023, for publishing in the General Public Interest
