	Owners and operators of permitted BIF units must operate in accordance with the operating requirements specified in the permit at all times when there is hazardous waste in the unit.  Facilities with permitted BIF units are required to comply with standards that control the following emissions:

         # Organic emissions by limiting CO emissions, and in some cases, HC emissions to specified levels and complying with a DRE Standard (§266.104);

         # Particulate matter emissions by limiting particulate emissions to specified levels(§266.105)

         # Metals emissions by complying with specified Tier I feed rate screening limits, Tier II emission rate screening limits, Tier III site-specific risk assessments, adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits, or an alternative implementation approach (§266.106); and

         # HCl and Cl2 gas emissions by complying with Tier I feed rate screening limits, Tier II emission rate screening limits, Tier III site-specific risk assessments, or adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits (§266.107).

	Appendix IX, section 2 includes information collection requirements covering performance specifications for continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS).  Appendix IX, section 3 includes information collection requirements covering sampling and analytical methods.  40 CFR 266.102(e) specifies operating requirements for BIFs burning hazardous waste.  Each of these sections and their associated information collection requirements are discussed below.

	Appendix IX, section 2 contains procedures that are intended to be used to evaluate the acceptability of the CEMS at the time of its installation or whenever specified in the regulations or permits.  Data items associated with Appendix IX, section 2 include the following:

	5(a)	AGENCY ACTIVITIES

COMPARABLE/SYNGAS FUEL SPECIFICATION

	The Agency must review submissions of a notice claiming the comparable/syngas fuel exclusion.

GENERAL FACILITY STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO BIFs

General Facility Operating Requirements

	The requirements for the foreign shipment import report state that owners or operators must notify the Regional Administrator of the anticipated collection of hazardous waste.  In turn, the Agency must review the information included in the notification.  EPA also performs on-site review of facility inspection records.

Recordkeeping Requirements

	Only one Agency activity is associated with the operating record requirements:  on-site review of the record.

Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures

	Contingency Plan

	One Agency activity is associated with the development and amendment of the contingency plan:  reviewing the contingency plan during on-site inspections.

	Emergency Reporting Requirements

	Agency activities associated with emergency reporting requirements include reviewing documents in the owners' or operators' and emergency coordinators' emergency reports.

Closure Requirements

	Agency activities associated with the regulations promulgated in 40 CFR, Parts 264 and 265, Subpart G, include reviewing the following data items:

Financial Requirements

	EPA uses the cost estimates and financial assurance mechanisms to ensure compliance with Subpart H.  In the event that an owner or operator is unable or unwilling to perform closure activities or to pay third-party damages, EPA will draw upon the mechanisms.  The cost estimates are normally retained by the owner or operator during interim status; they are submitted to the Region or authorized State as part of the permit process.

	The financial assurance instruments for closure care and liability coverage, with standard wording, are submitted by the owner or operator (or the third-party financial entity) to the Region or authorized State that serves the area where the facility is located.  These submissions must be made by the effective date of the regulations for existing facilities -- July 6, 1982 (Assurance) and July 15, 1982 (Liability) -- and sixty days before the initial receipt of hazardous wastes at new facilities.  There was a phase-in period for nonsudden coverage for existing facilities.  January 16, 1985 was the final phase-in date.

	When financial assurance information is submitted, EPA conducts a review for completeness, then enters the information into the RCRAInfo database.  The EPA Regional or State offices establish a file for each applicant that contains the submissions.  The financial instruments are maintained in a secure area.

	Submissions are tabulated in the EPA Regional Offices and Headquarters and are used by Agency management to oversee implementation of the RCRA financial responsibility requirements.  The information is also shared with States to assist them in implementing their hazardous waste management programs.  There are no plans to publish information obtained under the Subpart H financial requirements.

Conditions Applicable to All Permits

	EPA reviews all information submitted at intervals specified in the permit.  This information includes monitoring reports and reports on compliance or noncompliance with compliance schedules.  EPA also reviews information that may be submitted on occasion by facilities, if necessary.  Such information includes notices of planned physical alterations or additions; notices of planned changes or activities; letters certifying compliance; information concerning releases, fires, or explosions; reports of other noncompliance; and corrected or new information.
