An excerpt from above page

"USED OIL PROCESSORS AND RE- REFINERS
Processor and re-refiner requirements for used oil are set forth in
Part 279, Subpart F. Owners/operators of used oil processing and
re-refining facilities are also required to undertake prevention and
preparedness activities at their facilities, such as compliance with
section 279.52 standards, which are very similar to Part 265 Subpart D
contingency plan and emergency procedure requirements for hazardous
waste management facilities. These requirements will ensure that used
oil processing and re-refining facilities are maintained to minimize
the threat of a sudden or non-sudden release, fire, explosion or
similar emergency, as well as ensure that facilities are prepared to
undertake appropriate actions if an emergency situation occurs.

In addition, section 279.54(h) requires that oil processing and
re-refining facilities that store or process used oil in aboveground
or underground tanks determine at the time of closure whether all
contaminated soils can be practicably removed or decontaminated as
required. If the owner/operator cannot make the determination, the
owner/operator must close the tank system and perform post-closure in
accordance with section 265.310. Based on existing Superfund data and
RCRA enforcement information available for the solid waste management
units used for used oil storage or management, EPA is convinced that
the closure requirements of section 279.54 are critical to minimizing
the potential creation of future Superfund sites.

Pursuant to section 279.55, used oil processors and re- refiners must
develop a written used oil analysis plan and retain a copy of the plan
at the facility. The plan must include information concerning methods,
location and frequency for analysis of used oil. This requirement will
ensure that the facilities are consistent in used oil testing
methodologies.

Section 279.56 sets forth tracking requirements for used oil
processors and re-refiners. Used oil processors and re-refiners are
required to keep a record for each used oil shipment that is accepted
for processing or re-refining or delivered to another used oil
processor and re-refiner, or to a used oil burner or disposal
facility. All records must be maintained for at least three years.
These requirements will assist in keeping used oil processors or
re-refiners accountable for movements of used oil. EPA also believes
these recordkeeping requirements are necessary to monitor the flow of
used oil within the used oil management system. By providing a paper
trail documenting all parties who handled the used oil, the
requirements also discourage adulteration of used oil by any used oil
processor or re-refiner.

Pursuant to section 279.57(b), processors and re-refiners must submit
a biennial report to EPA. EPA requires this information submission so
that the statistics can be grouped and used to identify industry
trends."

One more......

"Processors and re-refiners must complete and submit to EPA Form
8700-12 or write and submit a letter requesting an identification
number. The letter must include the following information:


Processor or re-refiner company name;

Owner of the processor or re-refiner company;

Mailing address for the processor or re-refiner;

Name and telephone number for the processor or re-refiner point of
contact;

Type of used oil activity;

Location of the processor of re-refiner facility;  "

Hope this is useful.
