### SIP COMPLETENESS CHECKLIST (Electronic Format)

*** TO BE COMPLETED BY DI STRICT AND RETURNED TO ARB ***

All rules submitted to the EPA as State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions must be suppor ted 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 comple te. To assist you in determining that all necessary materials are included in rules packages sent to the ARB fo r 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 Impl ementation of the 40 CFR 51, Appendix V, for a more detailed explanation than is pr ovided here. Adopted rules and rule amendments should be checked against U.S. EPA's Guidance Document for Correct ing Common VOC & Other Rule Deficiencies (Little Blue Book, August 21, 2001) to ensure that they contain no elements which will result in disapproval by EPA.

District: Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District

Rule No: 101

Attached Attached N/A

COMPLETE COPY OF THE RULE: Provide an unmarked copy of the entire rule as adopted or amended by your District Board.

UNDERLINE AND STRIKEOUT COPY OF THE RULE : If an amended rule,

provide a complete copy of the ru le indicating in underline and strikeout

format all language which has been added, deleted, or changed since the rule

was last adopted or amended.

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.

PUBLIC NOTICE EVIDENCE: Include a copy of the local newspaper clipping

certification(s), stating t he date of publication, whic h 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 s pecifically identify by title and number each rule adopted or amended.

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 informati on in the public notice. It must also list the rules that were adopted or am ended, the date of the public hearing, and a statement of compliance with California Health and Safety Code Sections 40725-40728 (Administr ative Procedures Act).

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.

TECHNICAL MATERIALS

Attached Attached N/A

RULE EVALUATION FORM: See instructions for completing the Rule Evaluation Form and the accompanying sample form.

NON-EPA TEST METHODS: Attach all test methods that are referenced in

your rule that do not appear in 40 CFR 51, 60, 61, 63, or have not been previously submitted to EPA. EPA me thods used in other media such as

SW846 for solid waste are not autom atically approved for air pollution applications. Submittal of test me thods that are not EPA-approved should include the information and follow the procedure described in Region 9’s

“Test Method Review & Evaluation Process.”

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 ru le 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 appr oved SIP accounts for the relaxation and provided the approved SIP used the current EPA modeling guidelines. If current EPA modeling guidelines were not used, then new modeling may be required.

ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVIATIONS FROM

EPA POLICIES : The District staff report or other information included with the submittal should discuss all potential relaxations or deviations from RACT, RACM, BACT, BACM, enforceability, atta inment, RFP, or other relevant EPA requirements. This includes, for exampl e, demonstrating that exemptions or emission limits less stringent than the presumptive RACT (e.g., a CTG) meet EPA’s 5 percent policy, and demonstrating that all source categories exempted from a RACM/BACM rule are de minimus according to EPA’s RACM/BACM policy.

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS : Provide District staff reports and any other

supporting information concerning developm ent of the rule or rule changes. This information should explain the basis for all limits and thresholds

contained in the rule.
