(a) Preliminary notification
Not later than ninety days after promulgation of regulations
under section 6921 of this title identifying by its characteristics
or listing any substance as hazardous waste subject to this
subchapter, any person generating or transporting such substance or
owning or operating a facility for treatment, storage, or disposal
of such substance shall file with the Administrator (or with States
having authorized hazardous waste permit programs under section
6926 of this title) a notification stating the location and general
description of such activity and the identified or listed hazardous
wastes handled by such person. Not later than fifteen months after
November 8, 1984 -
(1) the owner or operator of any facility which produces a fuel
(A) from any hazardous waste identified or listed under section
6921 of this title, (B) from such hazardous waste identified or
listed under section 6921 of this title and any other material,
(C) from used oil, or (D) from used oil and any other material;
(2) the owner or operator of any facility (other than a single-
or two-family residence) which burns for purposes of energy
recovery any fuel produced as provided in paragraph (1) or any
fuel which otherwise contains used oil or any hazardous waste
identified or listed under section 6921 of this title; and
(3) any person who distributes or markets any fuel which is
produced as provided in paragraph (1) or any fuel which otherwise
contains used oil or any hazardous waste identified or listed
under section 6921 of this title (!1)
shall file with the Administrator (and with the State in the case
of a State with an authorized hazardous waste program) a
notification stating the location and general description of the
facility, together with a description of the identified or listed
hazardous waste involved and, in the case of a facility referred to
in paragraph (1) or (2), a description of the production or energy
recovery activity carried out at the facility and such other
information as the Administrator deems necessary. For purposes of
the preceding provisions, the term "hazardous waste listed under
section 6921 of this title" also includes any commercial chemical
product which is listed under section 6921 of this title and which,
in lieu of its original intended use, is (i) produced for use as
(or as a component of) a fuel, (ii) distributed for use as a fuel,
or (iii) burned as a fuel. Notification shall not be required under
the second sentence of this subsection in the case of facilities
(such as residential boilers) where the Administrator determines
that such notification is not necessary in order for the
Administrator to obtain sufficient information respecting current
practices of facilities using hazardous waste for energy recovery.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect or impair
the provisions of section 6921(b)(3) of this title. Nothing in this
subsection shall affect regulatory determinations under section
6935 of this title. In revising any regulation under section 6921
of this title identifying additional characteristics of hazardous
waste or listing any additional substance as hazardous waste
subject to this subchapter, the Administrator may require any
person referred to in the preceding provisions to file with the
Administrator (or with States having authorized hazardous waste
permit programs under section 6926 of this title) the notification
described in the preceding provisions. Not more than one such
notification shall be required to be filed with respect to the same
substance. No identified or listed hazardous waste subject to this
subchapter may be transported, treated, stored, or disposed of
unless notification has been given as required under this
subsection.
(b) Effective date of regulation
The regulations under this subchapter respecting requirements
applicable to the generation, transportation, treatment, storage,
or disposal of hazardous waste (including requirements respecting
permits for such treatment, storage, or disposal) shall take effect
on the date six months after the date of promulgation thereof (or
six months after the date of revision in the case of any regulation
which is revised after the date required for promulgation thereof).
At the time a regulation is promulgated, the Administrator may
provide for a shorter period prior to the effective date, or an
immediate effective date for:
(1) a regulation with which the Administrator finds the
regulated community does not need six months to come into
compliance;
(2) a regulation which responds to an emergency situation; or
(3) other good cause found and published with the regulation.
