Sec. 271.5  Elements of a program submission.

    (a) Any State that seeks to administer a program under this part 
shall submit to the Administrator at least three copies of a program 
submission. The submission shall contain the following:
    (1) A letter from the Governor of the State requesting program 
approval;
    (2) A complete program description, as required by Sec. 271.6 
describing how the State intends to carry out its responsibilities under 
this subpart;
    (3) An Attorney General's statement as required by Sec. 271.7;
    (4) A Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional Administrator as 
required by Sec. 271.8;
    (5) Copies of all applicable State statutes and regulations, 
including those governing State administrative procedures; and
    (6) The showing required by Sec. 271.20(c) of the State's public 
participation activities prior to program submission.
    (b) Within 30 days of receipt by EPA of a State program submission, 
EPA will notify the State whether its submission is complete. If EPA 
finds that a State's submission is complete, the statutory review period 
(i.e., the period of time allotted for formal EPA review of a proposed 
State program under section 3006(b) of the Act) shall be deemed to have 
begun on the date of receipt of the State's submission. If EPA finds 
that a State's submission is incomplete, the review period shall not 
begin until all necessary information is received by EPA.

    (c) If the State's submission is materially changed during the 
review period, the review period shall begin again upon receipt of the 
revised submission.
    (d) The State and EPA may extend the review period by agreement.
