(r) "Identical Replacement" means a
				  substitution due to equipment failure of a registered portable engine or
				  equipment unit with another portable engine or equipment unit that has the same
				  manufacturer, type, manufacturer's maximum rated capacity, and rated brake

(u) "Maximum Achievable Control Technology
				  (MACT)" means any federal requirement promulgated as part of 40 CFR Parts 61
				  and 63.
(v) "Maximum Rated
				  Capacity" is the maximum throughput rating or volume capacity listed on the
				  nameplate of the registered equipment unit as specified by the
				  manufacturer.
(w) "Maximum Rated
				  Horsepower (brake horsepower (bhp)" is the maximum brake horsepower rating
