Sec.  279.41  Restrictions on transporters who are not also processors 

or re-refiners.



    (a) Used oil transporters may consolidate or aggregate loads of used

used oil unless they also comply with the requirements for processors/

re-refiners in subpart F of this part.

occur in the normal course of used oil transportation (e.g., settling 

and water separation), but that are not designed to produce (or make 

more amenable for production of) used oil derived products unless they 

also comply with the processor/re-refiner requirements in subpart F of 

this part.

    (c) Transporters of used oil that is removed from oil bearing 

electrical transformers and turbines and filtered by the transporter or 

at a transfer facility prior to being returned to its original use are 

not subject to the processor/re-refiner requirements in subpart F of 

this part.
