# §145.22. 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. For Class VI programs, the entire submission can be sent electronically. 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 [§ 145.23](/cfr/40/145.23.md), describing how the State intends to carry out its responsibilities under this part;
  - (3) An Attorney General's statement as required by [§ 145.24](/cfr/40/145.24.md);
  - (4) A Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional Administrator as required by [§ 145.25](/cfr/40/145.25.md);
  - (5) Copies of all applicable State statutes and regulations, including those governing State administrative procedures;
  - (6) The showing required by § 145.31(b) 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 the Safe Drinking Water 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 statutory review period shall not begin until all the necessary information is received by EPA.
- (c) If the State's submission is materially changed during the statutory review period, the statutory review period shall begin again upon receipt of the revised submission.
- (d) The State and EPA may extend the statutory review period by agreement.
