(i) The emissions unit is a reconstructed unit within the meaning of ยง 60.15(b)(1) of this chapter, or the emissions unit completely takes the place of an existing emissions unit.
(ii) The emissions unit is identical to or functionally equivalent to the replaced emissions unit.

If the replaced emissions unit is brought back into operation, it shall constitute a new emissions unit.
