Sec. 279.55  Analysis plan.

    Owners or operators of used oil processing and re-refining 
facilities must develop and follow a written analysis plan describing 
the procedures that will be used to comply with the analysis 
requirements of Sec. 279.53 and, if applicable, Sec. 279.72. The owner 
or operator must keep the plan at the facility.
    (a) Rebuttable presumption for used oil in Sec. 279.53. At at 
minimum, the plan must specify the following:
    (1) Whether sample analyses or knowledge of the halogen content of 
the used oil will be used to make this determination.
    (2) If sample analyses are used to make this determination:
    (i) The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be 
analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using either:
    (A) One of the sampling methods in appendix I of part 261 of this 
chapter; or
    (B) A method shown to be equivalent under Secs. 260.20 and 260.21 of 
this chapter;
    (ii) The frequency of sampling to be performed, and whether the 
analysis will be performed on-site or off-site; and
    (iii) The methods used to analyze used oil for the parameters 
specified in Sec. 279.53; and
    (3) The type of information that will be used to determine the 
halogen content of the used oil.
    (b) On-specification used oil fuel in Sec. 279.72. At a minimum, the 
plan must specify the following if Sec. 279.72 is applicable:
    (1) Whether sample analyses or other information will be used to 
make this determination;
    (2) If sample analyses are used to make this determination:
    (i) The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be 
analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using either:
    (A) One of the sampling methods in appendix I of part 261 of this 
chapter; or
    (B) A method shown to be equivalent under Sec. 260.20 and 260.21 of 
this chapter;
    (ii) Whether used oil will be sampled and analyzed prior to or after 
any processing/re-refining;
    (iii) The frequency of sampling to be performed, and whether the 
analysis will be performed on-site or off-site; and
    (iv) The methods used to analyze used oil for the parameters 
specified in Sec. 279.72; and
    (3) The type of information that will be used to make the on-
specification used oil fuel determination.
