CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD 

SIP COMPLETENESS CHECKLIST 

*** TO BE COMPLETED BY DISTRICT AND RETURNED TO ARB *** 

All rules submitted to the EPA as State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions must be supported by certain 

information and documentation for the rule packages to be deemed complete for review by the EPA. Rules 

will not be evaluated for approvability by the EPA unless the submittal packages are complete. To assist you 

in determining that all necessary materials are included in rules packages sent by the ARB for submittal to 

the EPA, please fill out the following form and include it with the rule package you send ARB. See the 

ARB's Guidelines on the Implementation of the EPA's Draft SIP Completeness Policy, October 1989, for a 

more detailed explanation than is provided here. 

District: South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule No.: 1162 

Date Adopted or Amended: 07/08/05 Rule Title: Polyester Resin Operations 

ADMINISTRATIVE MATERIALS 

 Not 

Attached Attached N/A

(x) ( ) ( ) COMPLETE COPY OF THE RULE: Provide an unmarked copy 

of the entire rule as adopted or amended by your District Board. 

(x) ( ) ( ) UNDERLINE AND STRIKEOUT COPY OF THE RULE: If an 

amended rule, provide a complete copy of the rule indicating in 

underline and strikeout format all language which has been added, 

deleted, or changed since the rule was last adopted or amended. 

( ) (x) ( ) COMPLETE COPY OF THE REFERENCED RULE(S): For 

any rule which includes language specifically referencing another 

rule, a copy of that other rule must also be submitted, unless it has 

already been submitted to EPA as part of a previous SIP submittal. 

(x) ( ) ( ) PUBLIC NOTICE EVIDENCE: Include a copy of the local 

newspaper clipping certification(s), stating the date of publication, 

which must be at least 30 days before the hearing. As an 

alternative, include a copy of the actual published notice of the 

public hearing as it appeared in the local newspaper(s). In this 

case, however, enough of the newspaper page must be included to 

show the date of publication. the notice must specifically identify 

by title and number each rule adopted or amended. 

(x) ( ) ( ) RESOLUTION/MINUTE ORDER: Provide the Board Clerk 

certified resolution or minute order. This document must include 

certification that the hearing was held in accordance with the 

information in the public notice. It must also list the rules that 

were adopted or amended, the date of the public hearing, and a 

statement of compliance with California Health and Safety Code 

Sections 40725-40728 (Administrative Procedures Act). 

(x) ( ) ( ) PUBLIC COMMENTS AND RESPONSES: Submit copies of 

written public comments made during the notice period and at the 

public hearing. Also submit any written responses prepared by the 

District staff or presented to the District Board at the public 

hearing. A summary of the public comments and responses is 

adequate. If there were no comments made during the notice 

period or at the hearing, please indicate N/A to the left. 

 

 
TECHNICAL MATERIALS 

 Not 

Attached Attached N/A

(x) ( ) ( ) RULE EVALUATION FORM: See instructions for completing 

the Rule Evaluation Form and the accompanying sample form. 

( ) ( ) (x) NON-EPA TEST METHOD: Include all test methods referenced 

in the rule, but not previously submitted to EPA. Provide an 

explanation of the purpose and principle for the test method and 

include the following supporting technical data: describe the test 

details (number of tests to be carried out, their precision accuracy, 

and repeatability); on a technical basis, compare the method with 

the appropriate EPA/ASTM method; explain the technical 

differences of the two methods and how they affect monitoring of 

the parameters of interest; explain how the test method affects the 

implementation and enforcement of the applicable rule; explain 

the advantages and any potential shortcomings of the test method. 

( ) ( ) (x) MODELING SUPPORT: Provide if appropriate; in general 

modeling support is not required for VOC and NOx rules to 

determine their impacts on ozone levels. Modeling is required 

where a rule is a relaxation that affects large sources (> 100 TPY) 

in an attainment area for SO2, directly emitted PM10, CO, or NOx 

(for NO2 purposes). In cases where EPA is concerned with the 

impact on air quality of rule revisions which relax limits or cause a 

shift in emission patterns in a nonattainment area, a reference back 

to the approved SIP will be sufficient provided the approved SIP 

used the current EPA modeling guidelines. If current EPA 

modeling guidelines were not used, then new modeling may be 

required. 

( ) ( ) (x) ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR 

DEVIATIONS FROM EPA POLICIES: As appropriate, 

describe special circumstances, i.e., where alternative RACT is 

used, extended compliance date are included, etc. A completed 

SIP Approvability Checklist-Enforceability will fulfill this 

requirement. 

(x) ( ) ( ) ADDITIONAL MATERIALS: Provide any other supporting 

information concerning development of the rule or rule changes, 

such as staff reports.
