A Draft EIR may be submitted to the State Clearinghouse when a state agency has special expertise with regard to the environmental impacts involved. When the Draft EIR will be reviewed through the State review process handled by the State Clearinghouse, a Notice of Completion (Form “H”) should be used as a cover sheet. If the City uses the State Clearinghouse’s online process to submit the Notice of Completion form, the form generated on the Internet site satisfies the State Clearinghouse’s requirements. A sufficient number of copies of the documents must be sent to the State Clearinghouse for circulation. Staff should contact the State Clearinghouse to find out the correct number of printed copies required for circulation. Minimally, the City must submit one (1) copy of the Notice of Completion and fifteen (15) copies of the entire document. The City may submit fifteen (15) hard copies of the entire draft environmental document or fifteen (15) CD-ROMs of the entire document. The document must be on a CD-ROM in a common file format such as Word or Acrobat. In addition, each CD-ROM must be accompanied by fifteen (15) printed copies of the Draft EIR summary (as described in Local Guidelines Section 6.11), executive summary, or introduction section. Form “Q” may be used as a cover sheet for document transmittal. The summary allows both the State Clearinghouse and the various agency CEQA coordinators to distribute the documents quickly without the use of a computer. Submission of the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse affects the timing of the public review period as set forth in Local Guidelines Section 7.28. 3 -120
