(2) Each collection of equipment at a bulk gasoline terminal affected facility, which is the total of all equipment associated with the loading of gasoline at a bulk gasoline terminal including the lines and pumps transferring gasoline from storage vessels, the gasoline loading racks, the vapor collection systems, and the vapor processing system.

(b) Each affected facility under paragraph (a) of this section for which construction, modification (as defined in § 60.2 and detailed in § 60.14), or reconstruction (as detailed in § 60.15 and paragraph (e) of this section) is commenced after June 10, 2022, is subject to the provisions of this subpart.

(d) A newly constructed gasoline loading rack affected facility that was subject to the standards in § 60.502a(b) will continue to be subject to the standards in § 60.502a(b) for newly constructed gasoline loading rack affected facilities if they are subsequently modified or reconstructed.

(e) For purposes of this subpart:

(1) The cost of the following frequently replaced components of the gasoline loading rack affected facility shall not be considered in calculating either the “fixed capital cost of the new components” or the “fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a comparable entirely new facility” under § 60.15: pump seals, loading arm gaskets and swivels, coupler gaskets, overfill sensor couplers and cables, flexible vapor hoses, and grounding cables and connectors.

(2) Under § 60.15, the “fixed capital cost of the new components” includes the fixed capital cost of all depreciable components, except components specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section which are or will be replaced pursuant to all continuous programs of component replacement which are commenced within any 2-year period following June 10, 2022. For purposes of this paragraph (e)(2), “commenced” means that an owner or operator has undertaken a continuous program of component replacement or that an owner or operator has entered into a contractual obligation to undertake and complete, within a reasonable time, a continuous program of component replacement.
