PART 271--REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTHORIZATION OF STATE HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart A--Requirements for Final Authorization
 
Sec. 271.13  Requirements with respect to permits and permit applications.

    (a) State law must require permits for owners and operators of all 
hazardous waste management facilities required to obtain a permit under 
40 CFR part 270 and prohibit the operation of any hazardous waste 
management facility without such a permit, except that States may, if 
adequate legal authority exists, authorize owners and operators of any 
facility which would qualify for interim status under the Federal 
program to remain in operation until a final decision is made on the 
permit application, or until interim status terminates pursuant to 40 
CFR 270.73 (b) through (f). When State law authorizes such continued 
operation it shall require compliance by owners and operators of such 
facilities with standards at least as stringent as EPA's interim status 
standards at 40 CFR part 265.
    (b) The State must require all new HWM facilities to contact the 
State and obtain an EPA identification number before commencing 
treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste.
    (c) All permits issued by the State shall require compliance with 
the standards adopted by the State under Sec. 271.12.
    (d) All permits issued under State law prior to the date of approval 
of final authorization shall be reviewed by the State Director and 
modified or revoked and reissued to require compliance with the 
requirements of this part.
