NR 422.01(4)(4) The department may exempt a source from the requirements of this chapter if the source has an approved federally enforceable permit or state implementation plan revision that permanently restricts maximum theoretical emissions to below the applicability emission thresholds listed under this chapter and meets all applicable federal VOC RACT exemption requirements. NR 422.01 NoteNote: “Maximum theoretical emissions” referred to in this chapter is defined under s. NR 419.02 (11). NR 422.01 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, September, 1986, No. 369, eff. 10-1-86; am.
