In <br /> addition, funding a loan program and/or loan forgiveness program is not a project under <br /> CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b) (4), because the Fire Safety <br /> Program involves a government funding mechanism other governmental fiscal activities <br /> which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a <br /> potentially significant physical impact in the environment. This activity is also not a <br /> project under CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b)(5) because organization or <br /> administrative activities of government such as funding a loan program will not result in <br /> direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. <br /> JIM SKINNER <br /> FIRE CHIEF <br /> Xbt'' <br /> ROBERT B.
