# §60.716. Permission to use alternative means of emission limitation.

- (a) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an alternative means of emission limitation will achieve a reduction in emissions of VOC from any emission point subject to § [60.712(c)](/cfr/40/60.712.md?p=c) or [(d)](/cfr/40/60.712.md?p=d) (standards for mix equipment) at least equivalent to that required by § [60.712 (c)](/cfr/40/60.712.md?p=c) or [(d)](/cfr/40/60.712.md?p=d), respectively, the Administrator will publish in the Federal Register a notice permitting the use of the alternative means. The notice may condition permission on requirements related to the operation and maintenance of the alternative means.
- (b) Any notice under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section shall be published only after public notice and an opportunity for a public hearing.
- (c) Any person seeking permission under this section shall submit either results from an emission test that documents the collection and measurement of all VOC emissions from a given control device or an engineering evaluation that documents the determination of such emissions.
