06- 096 C.M.R. ch. 152, § 8
Any person who has been granted a variance by the CARB under the provisions in Title 17 California Code of Regulations Subchapter 8.5, Article 4, Sections 94540-94555, or another state with a similar variance procedure shall be, for the products included in the variance, exempt from the table of standards in Section 3(A) for the period of time that the variance remains in effect. Any person claiming a variance on this basis must submit to the Department a copy of the variance decision, including all conditions applicable to the variance. A variance is only effective in Maine if EPA has approved the exemption in Maine's State Implementation Plan.
NOTE: Manufacturers who submit information to the Department under this Chapter should mark those documents as "claimed confidential" if they believe the documents should be exempt from disclosure under Maine's Freedom of Access Law, 1 M.R.S.A. §401 et seq. Such documents will be handled in accordance with Departmental policies governing records that may contain confidential information, SOP Number OC PE 0006, and applicable law.
