If it appears the emergency cannot be controlled in six hours, SPOC shall be notified by the emitter in accordance with LAC 33:I.3923 as soon as possible after the start of the upset period. Such notification does not imply the administrative authority will automatically grant an exemption to the source(s) of excessive emissions.
