# §60.114c. Alternative means of emission limitation.

- (a) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an alternative means of emission limitation will achieve a reduction in emissions at least equivalent to the reduction in emissions achieved by the applicable requirement in [§ 60.112c](/cfr/40/60.112c.md), the Administrator will publish in the Federal Register a document permitting the use of the alternative means for purposes of compliance with that requirement.
- (b) Any document under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section will be published only after notice and an opportunity for a hearing.
- (c) Any person seeking permission under this section must submit to the Administrator a written application including either:
  - (1) An actual emissions test that uses a full-sized or scale-model storage vessel that accurately collects and measures all VOC emissions from a given control device and that accurately simulates wind and accounts for other emission variables such as temperature and barometric pressure; or
  - (2) An engineering evaluation that the Administrator determines is an accurate method of determining equivalence.
- (d) The Administrator may condition the permission on requirements that may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance to achieve the same emission reduction as specified in [§ 60.112c](/cfr/40/60.112c.md).
