### 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

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 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 V OC & Other Rule Deficiencies (Little Blue

Book, August 21, 2001) to ensure that they contain no elements which will result in disapproval by EPA.

District: South Coast Air Quality Management District

Rule No: 11 55

Rule Title: Particulate Matter (PM) Control Devices

Date Adopted or Amended: May 2, 2014

ADMINISTRATIVE MATERIALS

Note: All documents should be in electronic format. Items that have signatures, initials, or stamps may be scanned.

Attached Not Attached N/A

COMPLETE COPY OF THE RULE: Provide an unmarked copy of the entire

rule must also be submitted, unless it has already been submitted to EPA as

part of a previous SIP submittal.

(As referenced in Rule 11 55 )

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 newspa per(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.

RESOLUTION/MINUTE ORDER: Provide the Board Clerk certified resolution

TECHNICAL MATERIALS

Note: All documents and forms should be in electronic format.

Attached Not 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 methods used in other media such as

SW846 for solid waste are not automatically approved for air poll ution

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 reference back to the approved

SIP will be sufficient prov ided 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

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, attainment, RFP, or other

relevant EPA requirements. This includes, for examp le, 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 : P rovide 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.
