Date Adopted or Amended: 08/21/2012

ADMINISTRATIVE MATERIALS

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 c opy of the actual published notice of the public hearing as it appeared in the local newspaper(s).

### SIP COMPLETENESS CHECKLIST (Electronic Format)

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

5/1/2002 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 methods used in o ther media such as SW846 for solid waste are not automatically approve d for air pollution applications. Submittal of test methods that are n ot EPA-approved should include the information and follow the procedure de scribed in Region 9’s “Test

Method Review & Evaluation Process.”

MODELING SUPPORT: Provide if appropriate. In general, modeling sup port is not required for VOC and NOx rules to determine the ir impacts on ozone levels. Modeling is required where a rule is a rel axation 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 refere nce back to the approved SIP will be sufficient provided the approved SIP ac counts 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 i ncluded with the submittal should discuss all potential relaxations or deviations from RACT, RACM, BACT, BACM, enforceability, attainment, RFP, or other relevant EPA requirements. This includes, for example, demonstr ating 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 accor ding to EPA’s RACM/BACM policy. (See Staff Report)

ADDITIONAL MATERIALS : Provide District staff reports and any other supporting information concerning development of th e rule or rule changes. This information should explain the basis for all l imits and thresholds

contained in the rule.
