                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
                    CHAPTER 82--SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
 
               SUBCHAPTER III--HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
 
Sec. 6930. Effective date


(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\

    \1\ So in original. Probably should be followed by a semicolon.

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.
