15061(b)(3). CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant
effect on the environment. The creation of a Joint Powers Authority does not directly or
indirectly change the physical environment. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there
is no possibility that this action would have a significant effect on the environment, and the
Program is not subject to CEQA.
