what is the definition of Notice of Determination?
David defined it as "A brief notice to be filed by a public agency after it approves or determines to carry out a project subject to the requirements of CEQA", which was how CEQA defines it. David further explained in his flashcard "It is filed once a decision has been reached on the project, either approval or disapproval of the Negative Declaration or final EIR."
From what I read, a Notice of Determination is only a notice of approval. But the notice form conflicts itself, it has a approval language and also has disapproval language.
