However, those that are estimated to not increase air pollutant emissions quantities may forego the performance of testing again.

Those that reapply for an operating permit in accordance with Subparagraph I of the foregoing paragraph shall fill out an application form and submit a statement of the differences in air pollution control facilities, a trial operation plan, and a timetable for the alteration project.
When the public or private premises file applications for alteration of operating permit in accordance with Subparagraph I of the 1st paragraph, if the total emission quantity after the alteration after acquiring the operating permit exceeds the regulations under Subparagraphs II or III, 2nd paragraph of Article 4, a modification for permit shall be carried out in accordance with the 1st paragraph, Article 24 of this Act. When an operating permit is acquired after the modification procedure, the total emission quantity after the alteration shall be re-calculated after the date on which the modification is completed.
