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 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.

Products, (the “Consumer Products Regulation”).

Rule Title: Article 2 “Consumer Products”

Date Adopted or Amended:

* Materials for tier two implementation are not included in this submittal. Tier two implementation will be preceded 

by a technical assessment in 2012. The proposed tier two implementation date is 12-31-2013.

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

 to the District Board at the public hearing. A summary of the public 

comments and responses is adequate. If there were no comments made

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 that are 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 data 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.
