Summary

File a notice with the EPA or with a state agency that runs an authorized hazardous-waste program within 90 days after a new rule names a substance as hazardous. The notice must give the location, a short description of the activity, and which hazardous wastes are handled. Also, no later than 15 months after November 8, 1984, owners or operators of facilities that make fuel from listed hazardous waste or used oil, facilities (other than single- or two-family homes) that burn such fuel for energy, and anyone who sells or markets that fuel must file the same kind of notice. Rules about how to generate, move, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste normally take effect six months after they are issued or revised. The EPA can make a shorter or immediate start date if people do not need six months to comply, if there is an emergency, or for other good cause that the EPA publishes when it issues the rule.
