Document Description
This project consists of emergency regulations entitled "CUPA Oversight and Program Management Costs" that proposes to amend Title 27, California Code of Regulations, Article 5, section 15240. The proposed regulations delineate the authority of the Secretary of Environmental Protection (the Secretary) to establish and expend the Unified Hazardous Materials Management Regulatory Program. (Unified Program) State surcharge bases on the current needs of the Unified Program. The amendments in these proposed regulations are also consistent with Assembly Bill (AB) 2872 (Chapter 144, Statues of 2000). AB 2872 provides the Secretary with the authority to set the State surcharge and expend the funds to cover the necessary and reasonable costs of all State agencies implementing the Unified Program, rather than previous law, which only allowed surcharge funds to be spent on limited, specified subset of the State agencies with Unified Program responsibilities. The proposed regulations will also eliminate requirements for the preliminary and the final surcharge and allow the Secretary to establish and adopt the State surcharge as necessary, but no more than once a year, after a 30 day comment period and a 60 day implementation period.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA applies only to projects which may result in a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions affected by the project. The proposed regulations only change the means by which the secretary would determine the State surcharge. The proposed regulations do not change the level of funding for program activities, create new program responsibilities, or eliminate existing program responsibilities. Therefore, the proposed regulations will not have a significant environmental effect.
