PART 279--STANDARDS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF USED OIL--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart C--Standards for Used Oil Generators
 
Sec. 279.24  Off-site shipments.

    Except as provided in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section, 
generators must ensure that their used oil is transported only by 
transporters who have obtained EPA identification numbers.
    (a) Self-transportation of small amounts to approved collection 
centers. Generators may transport, without an EPA identification number, 
used oil that is generated at the generator's site and used oil 
collected from household do-it-yourselfers to a used oil collection 
center provided that:
    (1) The generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the 
generator or owned by an employee of the generator;
    (2) The generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at 
any time; and
    (3) The generator transports the used oil to a used oil collection 
center that is registered, licensed, permitted, or recognized by a 
state/county/municipal government to manage used oil.
    (b) Self-transportation of small amounts to aggregation points owned 
by the generator. Generators may transport, without an EPA 
identification number, used oil that is generated at the generator's 
site to an aggregation point provided that:
    (1) The generator transports the used oil in a vehicle owned by the 
generator or owned by an employee of the generator;
    (2) The generator transports no more than 55 gallons of used oil at 
any time; and
    (3) The generator transports the used oil to an aggregation point 
that is owned and/or operated by the same generator.
    (c) Tolling arrangements. Used oil generators may arrange for used 
oil to be transported by a transporter without an EPA identification 
number if the used oil is reclaimed under a contractual agreement 
pursuant to which reclaimed oil is returned by the processor/re-refiner 
to the generator for use as a lubricant, cutting oil, or coolant. The 
contract (known as a ``tolling arrangement'') must indicate:
    (1) The type of used oil and the frequency of shipments;
    (2) That the vehicle used to transport the used oil to the 
processing/re-refining facility and to deliver recycled used oil back to 
the generator is owned and operated by the used oil processor/re-
refiner; and
    (3) That reclaimed oil will be returned to the generator.
