7. California Environmental Quality Act

Applications for authority to undertake any projects that are subject to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq. and its implementing guidelines, must comply with its requirements. See Rule 2.4 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. In this matter, the approval will only result in the interconnection of CalPop with existing telecommunications facilities, and will involve no external construction. It can be seen with certainty that these activities, and therefore granting the application, will have no significant effect on the environment and no additional review under CEQA is necessary.
