               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.
