Section 722.304  Notice of Withdrawal from the Subpart K Requirements

a)         If an eligible academic entity elects to no longer remain subject to the requirements of this Subpart K for all the laboratories that the eligible academic entity owns or operates under the same USEPA identification number, it elects to instead comply with the requirements set forth in Sections 722.111 and 722.115, which are the generally applicable standards for SQGs and LQGs.  An eligible academic entity must notify the Agency in writing of this election using Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (Site Identification Form) (USEPA Form 8700-12).  If the eligible academic entity is a VSQG that does not have a USEPA identification number, it must notify the Agency that it has elected to withdraw from the requirements of this Subpart K for all of the laboratories that it owns or operates that are on site.  The eligible academic entity that is a VSQG that makes this election must comply with the conditional exemption in Section 722.114.  If the eligible academic entity has multiple USEPA identification numbers, or if it is a VSQG with multiple sites, it must submit a separate notification (using USEPA Form 8700-12) for each USEPA identification number (or site, for a VSQG) that it elects to withdraw from the requirements of this Subpart K.  The eligible academic entity that chooses to withdraw from the requirements of this Subpart K must submit USEPA Form 8700-12 to the Agency before it begins operating under the standards in Sections 722.111 and 722.115, which are the generally applicable standards for SQGs and LQGs, or Section 722.114, which are the generally applicable standards for VSQGs.

BOARD NOTE:  Corresponding 40 CFR 262.204(a) requires the use of the "RCRA Subtitle C Site Identification Form (EPA Form 8700-12)".  The title on USEPA Form 8700-12, however, is "Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activity".  USEPA Form 8700-12 is available from the Agency, Bureau of Land (217-782-6762).  It is also available on-line for download in PDF file format:  www.epa.gov/hwgenerators/instructions-and-form-hazardous-waste-generators-transporters-and-treatment-storage-and.
