### SIP COMPLETENESS CHECKLIST
(Electronic Format)

*** 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

an d 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 to 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 40 CFR 51,

Appendix V , for a more detailed explanation than is provided here. Adopted rules and rule amendments should be checked against U.S. EPA's Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule Deficiencies (Little Blue Book, August 21, 2001) to ensure that they contain no elements which will res ult in disapproval by EPA.

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 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).

TECHNICAL MATERIALS

Not

Attached Attached N/A

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

NON

- EP A 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 other media such as SW846 for solid waste are not automatically approv ed for air pollution applications. Submittal of test methods 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 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 refe rence back to the approved SIP will be sufficient provided the approved 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

requ ired.

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 de viations from RACT, RACM, BACT, BACM, enforceability, attainment, RFP, or other relevant EPA requirements. This includes, for example, demonstrating that exemptions or emission limits less stringent than the presumptive RACT (e.g., a CTG) meet

EPA’s 5 per cent 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 development of the rule or rule changes.
This information should explain the basis for all limits and thresholds

contained in the rule.
