Under 40 CFR 279, Subparts E, F, G, and H, respectively, persons who engage in the following activities are required to notify EPA (or their state agency if the state is authorized to operate its own used oil program) and obtain an EPA identification number, unless they are exempt as outlined in 40 CFR 279:
- Process or re-refine used oil
- Burn off-specification used oil for energy recovery
- Market used oil fuel.
Off-specification used oil may be burned for energy recovery in an industrial furnace, boiler, or hazardous waste incinerator subject to regulation under Subpart O of 40 CFR 264 or 265.
Used oil transporters, used oil processors/re-refiners, off-specification used oil burners, and used oil fuel marketers who have not previously notified EPA of their hazardous waste activities or notified under 40 CFR 266, Subpart E (replaced by 40 CFR 279) must notify EPA to identify their used oil management activities.
Note: Please refer to the regulations in 40 CFR 279 to ensure that you are aware of all the requirements that apply to your used oil management activities.
If you do not currently have an EPA identification number and you handle a regulated waste, you must submit an initial notification for your regulated waste activities. You can satisfy this initial notification requirement by completing and signing EPA Form 8700-12 and mailing it to the appropriate address. Per the Hazardous Waste Import Regulations, 40 CFR 262.60, foreign generators should not apply for an EPA identification number. These regulations state that when filling out an U.S. manifest, you must include the name and address of the foreign generator, and the name, address, and EPA identification number of the importer. Contact the U.S. firms involved with your shipments and determine which firm will serve as the importer. Even if you have submitted an initial notification and have received an EPA identification number, you may be required to submit a subsequent notification. In general, you can comply with this subsequent notification requirement by completing specific parts of and signing EPA Form 8700-12 and mailing it to the appropriate address. Public reporting burden for initial notifications is estimated to be 4.25 hours. Public reporting burden for subsequent notifications is expected to be 2.10 hours. This reporting burden includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
How many forms should be filed for reporting my used oil management activities? A person who is subject to the hazardous waste, universal waste and/or used oil management regulations under RCRA should submit one notification per installation. If you conduct hazardous waste, universal waste, and/or used oil management activities at more than one installation, you must submit a separate notification for each installation.
You may submit one notification that covers all transportation activities your company conducts if you only transport regulated wastes and do not:
- Generate, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes
- Qualify as a large quantity handler of universal wastes
- Process/re-refine used oil, burn off-specification used oil fuel, or market used oil fuel.
This notification should be sent to the appropriate address that serves the state where your company has its headquarters or principal place of business. However, if you are a transporter who also engages in one or more of the regulated waste activities listed above, you must complete and submit a separate notification to cover each installation.
