Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) Information Technology (IT) Projects

Below is a list of proposed IT Projects that are currently in the PAL review and approval process with the California Department of Technology (CDT). For purposes of this list “PAL Stage” refers to the last document officially submitted to CDT.

Projects are removed from this list when they exit the PAL process because: 1) the Agency/state entity receives CDT’s approval to begin project implementation; 2) CDT approves a Project Delegation Request; 3) the Agency/state entity withdraws the project; or 4) the CDT denies the project approval.

0650-018 Modernization of the Environmental Notice and Document System (MENDS)

The State Clearinghouse (SCH) of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) proposes to modernize its business processes and improve its ability to interact with customers and stakeholders throughout the State-level review of environmental documents and notices pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This will be accomplished by creating business processes that employ modern methods of document collection, review, and public comment using a web-based interface, workflow automation, collaborative working spaces, and self-service reporting. Ideally this approach will build upon technology that is already in use within the SCH but may include seeking an entirely new system to wholly replace what is already functioning.
