Standards for used oil processors and rerefiners shall be as in 40 CFR Part 279, Subpart F and as specified in this section.

1. (1) Underground storage tanks. Section 324.11(1) of this title (relating to Transporters and Transfer Facilities) applies.
2. (2) Registration. Processors and rerefiners must register with the EPA and the commission one time on their used oil activities. Processors and rerefiners must register their used oil activities within 90 days of initiation under this rule if they have not previously registered their specific used oil activities with the commission and the EPA prior to the effective date of this rule. Processors and rerefiners must register, through the commission, using the EPA Form 8700-12 (one time) and a form provided by the commission. Registration forms should be mailed to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Municipal Solid Waste Division, MC 125, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087.
3. (3) Analysis plan. Each facility must prepare an analysis plan which a facility will follow when performing sampling and analysis, keeping records, and when complying with analytical requirements for documenting that used oil is not listed hazardous and/or the used oil fuel specification has been met. This plan must specify the frequency of sampling and analysis, procedures and analysis (to assure listed hazardous wastes are not mixed with the used oil received), and procedures for handling a shipment of contaminated used oil. A facility that only processes its own used oil and uses adequate process knowledge instead of analysis to prove that the used oil meets rule requirements need not prepare an analysis plan.
4. (4) Biennial report. The processor/rerefiner biennial report required by 40 CFR §279.57(b) covering each odd numbered year shall be provided to the commission by December 1 of the odd numbered year if all used oil operations have been completed for that year; if not, the processor/rerefiner shall submit the report by January 25 of the following even numbered year. The information shall be entered on a commission-prescribed form and forwarded to the commission. Mail the report form to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Municipal Solid Waste Division, MC 125, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087.
