evaluations of the effects of the rules on emissions, evaluations of the rules' consistency 

with 40 CFR 51, and other supporting documentation provided to us to date by the 

districts. We have made every reasonable effort to obtain from the districts all 

documentation necessary to comply with U.S. EPA's SIP Completeness Policy. We 

understand that, according to section 11 O(k)(1 )(B) of the federal Clean Air Act, 

. U.S. EPA will determine within 60 days of the Administrator's receipt of a SIP revision, 

but no later than six months after the date l;>y which the State is required to submit the 

revision, whether the rule packages within the revision are adequately complete to 

review for approvability. ARB staff may receive addftlorial supporting documentation 

from the districts within the next few months. We will forward those additional materials 

to you. 

If you have any questions or would like to discuss these SIP revisions, please contact
