The Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection shall adopt alternative standards for the specifications provided in sections 22a-256n and 22a-256p if he determines, upon receipt of documentation from the Northeast Recycling Council, that such specifications are not achievable which determination shall be made not less than once annually.
