An emission-comparable fuel burner is subject to the fuel analysis plan requirements under paragraph (b)(4) of this section to determine, for each fuel fed to the boiler when burning emission-comparable fuel, the as-fired heating value and the as-fired concentration of each compound listed in paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section, except for fuels under the situations described below:	261.38(b)(5)						
	Coal or fuel oil used as primary fuels, when the burner uses the heating values and compound concentrations for these fuels provided in paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(C) of this section and Tables 3 and 4 to §261.38;	261.38(b)(5)(i)						
	Emission-comparable fuel, when the burner receives documentation of this information from the generator for each shipment of emission-comparable fuel, provided that the emission-comparable fuel is not blended with other fuels before firing to the burner.	261.38(b)(5)(ii)						
	Emission-comparable fuel, when the burner receives documentation of this information from the generator for each shipment of emission-comparable fuel, and the emission-comparable fuel is blended with other fuels before firing to the burner, provided that:	261.38(b)(5)(iii)						
	The burner has determined the heating value of the other fuels and the concentration of each compound listed in paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section for the other fuels; and;	261.38(b)(5)(iii)(A)						
	The burner determines by calculation the as-fired heating value of the blended emission-comparable fuel and the as-fired concentration of each compound listed in paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section of the blended emission-comparable fuel.	261.38(b)(5)(iii)(B)						
	Excluded fuel sampling and analysis.  See Note to Paragraph.	261.38(b)(6)						
	General.  For comparable fuel, emission-comparable fuel, and syngas for which an exclusion is claimed under the specifications provided by paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of this section, the generator of the material must test for all the constituents in appendix VIII to this part, except those that the generator determines, based on testing or knowledge, should not be present in the fuel.  The generator is required to document the basis of each determination that a constituent with an applicable specification should not be present.  The generator may not determine that any of the following categories of constituents with a specification in Table 1 to this section should not be present:	261.38(b)(6)(i)						
	A constituent that triggered the toxicity characteristic for the constituents that were the basis for listing the hazardous secondary material as a hazardous waste, or constituents for which there is a treatment standard for the waste code in 40 CFR 268.40;	261.38(b)(6)(i)(A)						
	A constituent detected in previous analysis of the material;	261.38(b)(6)(i)(B)						
	Constituents introduced into the process that generates the material; or Constituents that are byproducts or side reactions to the process that generates the material. 	261.38(b)(6)(i)(C)						
	Constituents that are byproducts or side reactions to the process that generates the material.	261.38(b)(6)(i)(D)						
	Use of process knowledge.	261.38(b)(6)(ii)						
	Comparable fuel and syngas.  For each material for which the comparable fuel or syngas exclusion is claimed where the generator of the excluded fuel is not the original generator of the hazardous waste, the generator of the excluded fuel may not use process knowledge pursuant to paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this section and must test to determine that all of the constituent specifications of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(3) of this section, as applicable, have been met.	261.38(b)(6)(ii)(A)						
	Emission-comparable fuel.  Emission-comparable fuel must meet the specifications for exclusion as-generated.  Thus, the generator may use process knowledge to determine that compounds listed in Appendix VIII to this part are not present in the emission-comparable fuel.	261.38(b)(6)(ii)(B)						
	The excluded fuel generator may use any reliable analytical method to demonstrate that no constituent of concern is present at concentrations above the specification levels.  It is the responsibility of the generator to ensure that the sampling and analysis are unbiased, precise, and representative of the excluded fuel.  For the fuel to be eligible for exclusion, a generator must demonstrate that:	261.38(b)(6)(iii)						
	The 95% upper confidence limit of the mean concentration for each constituent of concern is not above the specification level; and	261.38(b)(6)(iii)(A)						
	The analyses could have detected the presence of the constituent at or below the specification level.	261.38(b)(6)(iii)(B)						
	Nothing in this paragraph preempts, overrides or otherwise negates the provision in §262.11 of this chapter, which requires any person who generates a solid waste to determine if that waste is a hazardous waste.	261.38(b)(6)(iv)						
	In an enforcement action, the burden of proof to establish conformance with the exclusion specification shall be on the generator claiming the exclusion.	261.38(b)(6)(v)						
	The generator must conduct sampling and analysis in accordance with the fuel analysis plan developed under paragraph (b)(4) of this section.	261.38(b)(6)(vi)						
	Viscosity condition for comparable fuel.	261.38(b)(6)(vii)						
	Excluded comparable fuel that has not been blended to meet the kinematic viscosity specification shall be analyzed as-generated.	261.38(b)(6)(vii)(A)						
	If hazardous waste is blended to meet the kinematic viscosity specification for comparable fuel, the generator shall:	261.38(b)(6)(vii)(B)						
	Analyze the hazardous waste as-generated to ensure that it meets the constituent and heating value specifications of paragraph (a)(1) of this section; and	261.38(b)(6)(vii)(B)(1)						
	After blending, analyze the fuel again to ensure that the blended fuel meets all comparable fuel specifications.	261.38(b)(6)(vii)(B)(2)						
	Excluded fuel must be re-tested, at a minimum, annually and must be retested after a process change that could change its chemical or physical properties in a manner than may affect conformance with the specifications.	261.38(b)(6)(viii)						
	An emission-comparable fuel burner must determine, for each fuel fired to the burner, the as-fired heating value of the emission-comparable fuel and the as-fired concentration of each compound listed in paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section using information provided by the generator, information provided by paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(C) of this section and Tables 3 and 4 to this section, by sampling and analysis, or by calculation when emission-comparable fuel is commingled with other fuels and the heating value of the emission comparable fuel and the concentration of each compound listed in paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section is known for the fuels prior to commingling.	261.38(b)(6)(ix)						
	Speculative accumulation.  Excluded fuel must not be accumulated speculatively, as defined in §261.1(c)(8).	261.38(b)(7)						
	Operating record.  The generator must maintain an operating record on site containing the following information:	261.38(b)(8)						
	All information required to be submitted to the implementing authority as part of the notification of the claim:	261.38(b)(8)(i)						
	The owner/operator name, address, and RCRA ID number of the person claiming the exclusion;	261.38(b)(8)(i)(A)						
	For each excluded fuel, the EPA Hazardous Waste Codes that would be applicable if the material were discarded; and	261.38(b)(8)(i)(B)						
	The certification signed by the person claiming the exclusion or his authorized representative.	261.38(b)(8)(i)(C)						
	A brief description of the process that generated the excluded fuel.  If the comparable fuel generator is not the generator of the original hazardous waste, provide a brief description of the process that generated the hazardous waste;	261.38(b)(8)(ii)						
	The monthly and annual quantities of each fuel claimed to be excluded;	261.38(b)(8)(iii)						
	Documentation for any claim that a constituent is not present in the excluded fuel as required under paragraph (b)(6) of this section;	261.38(b)(8)(iv)						
	The results of all analyses and all detection limits achieved as required under paragraph (b)(4) of this section;	261.38(b)(8)(v)						
	If the comparable fuel was generated through treatment or blending, documentation of compliance with the applicable provisions of paragraphs (a)(4) and (a)(5) of this section;	261.38(b)(8)(vi)

	A one-time certification by the burner as required under paragraph (b)(10) of this section.	261.38(b)(8)(ix)(E)						
	Records retention.  Records must be maintained for a period of three years.  	261.38(b)(9)						
	Burner certification to the generator	261.38(b)(10)						
	Comparable fuel and syngas fuel.  Prior to submitting a notification to the State and Regional Directors, a generator of comparable fuel or syngas fuel excluded under paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(3) of this section who intends to ship the excluded fuel off-site for burning must obtain a one-time written, signed statement from the burner:	261.38(b)(10)(i)						
	Certifying that the excluded fuel will only be burned in an industrial furnace, industrial boiler, utility boiler, or hazardous waste incinerator, as required under paragraph (b)(3) of this section;	261.38(b)(10)(i)(A)

	Boilers.  Emission-comparable fuel may be burned in an industrial or utility boiler as defined in paragraph (b)(3) of this section but that is further restricted by being a watertube type of steam boiler that does not feed fuel using a stoker or stoker-type mechanism.	261.38(c)(2)(i)(A)						
	Hazardous waste combustors.  	261.38(c)(2)(i)(B)						
	Emission-comparable fuel may be burned in an incinerator, cement kiln, lightweight aggregate kiln, boiler, or halogen acid production furnace operating under a RCRA permit issued under part 270 of this chapter and in compliance with the applicable provisions of subpart O of part 264, subpart H of part 266, or subpart EEE of part 63 of this chapter, provided that the emission-comparable fuel is burned under the same operating requirements that apply to hazardous waste burned by the combustor.  	261.38(c)(2)(i)(B)(1)

	A minimum of 50 percent of fuel fired to the boiler shall be fossil fuel, fuels derived from fossil fuel, tall oil, or comparable fuel meeting the specifications provided by paragraph (a)(1) of this section.  Such fuels are termed “primary fuel” for purposes of this section.  (Tall oil is a fuel derived from vegetable and rosin fatty acids.)  The primary fuel shall comprise at least 50% of the total fuel heat input to the boiler and at least 50% of the total fuel mass input to the boiler.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(A)(1)						
	The primary fuel firing rate shall be continuously monitored and the minimum primary fuel firing rate limit shall be achieved on an hourly rolling average basis;	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(A)(2)						
	Fuel heating value.  Primary fuels shall have a minimum as-fired heating value of 8,000 Btu/lb, and each material fired in a firing nozzle where emission-comparable fuel is fired must have a heating value of at least 8,000 Btu/lb, as-fired;	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(B)

	The feedrate limits are expressed as gas flowrate-normalized feedrates in the units “ug/dscm”.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(C)(1)						
	The feedrate limit for total combustor feedstreams expressed as mass/unit time (kg/hr) for each emission-comparable fuel constituent is determined by multiplying the gas flowrate-normalized feedrate limit provided by Table 2 to this section times the combustor gas flowrate.  	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(C)(2)						
	The maximum constituent feedrate (kg/hr) attributable to emission-comparable fuel is the total combustor constituent feedrate (kg/hr) minus the constituent feedrate (kg/hr) for all other combustor feedstreams.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(C)(3)						
	To account for emission-comparable fuel constituents in primary fuels, burners may use measured concentrations of the constituents, or:	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(C)(4)						
	If natural gas is used as a primary fuel, burners may assume that natural gas does not contain emission-comparable fuel constituents and that natural gas has a heating value of 22,000 Btu/lb;	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(C)(4)(i)						
	If fuel oil is used as a primary fuel, burners may use the default concentrations for emission-comparable fuel constituents provided in Table 3 to this section, and assume that fuel oil has a heating value of 19,200 Btu/lb; and	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(C)(4)(ii)

	CO CEMS.  When burning emission-comparable fuel, carbon monoxide emissions must not exceed 100 parts per million by volume, over an hourly rolling average (monitored with a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS)), dry basis and corrected to 7 percent oxygen.  You must use an oxygen CEMS to continuously correct the carbon monoxide level to 7 percent oxygen.  You must install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate the CEMS in compliance with the quality assurance procedures provided in the appendix to subpart EEE of part 63 of this chapter (Quality Assurance Procedures for Continuous Emissions Monitors Used for Hazardous Waste Combustors) and Performance Specification 4B (carbon monoxide and oxygen) in appendix B, part 60 of this chapter.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(D)						
	Dioxin/furan control	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(E)						
	If the boiler is equipped with a dry particulate matter control device and the primary fuel is not coal, you must continuously monitor the combustion gas temperature at the inlet to the dry particulate matter control device, and the gas temperature must not exceed 400°F on an hourly rolling average basis.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(E)(1)						
	Calibration of thermocouples.  The calibration of thermocouples must be verified at a frequency and in a manner consistent with manufacturer specifications, but no less frequently than once per year.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(E)(2)						
	Calculation of rolling averages	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(F)						
	Calculation of rolling averages upon intermittent operations.  You must ignore periods of time when one-minute values are not available for calculating the hourly rolling average.  When one-minute values become available again, the first one-minute value is added to the previous 59 values to calculate the hourly rolling average.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(F)(1)						
	Calculation of rolling averages when the emission-comparable fuel feed is cutoff.  You must continue monitoring carbon monoxide and combustion gas temperature at the inlet to the dry particulate matter emission control device when the emission-comparable fuel feed is cutoff, but the source continues operating on other fuels.  You must not resume feeding emission-comparable fuel if the emission levels exceed the limits provided in paragraphs (c)(2)(ii)(D) and (E) of this section.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(F)(2)						
	Automatic fuel feed cutoff system	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)						
	General.  You must operate the boiler with a functioning system that immediately and automatically cuts off the emission-comparable fuel feed, except as provided by paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(G)(6) of this section:	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)

	When the steam production rate (or other indicator of boiler load) indicates that the boiler load is below 40 percent;	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(iv)						
	When the span value of the combustion gas temperature detector is exceeded;	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(v)						
	Upon malfunction of the carbon monoxide CEMS, the gas temperature detector, the feedrate monitor(s) for the primary fuel, the feedrate monitor(s) used to comply with the maximum feedrate limits for emission-comparable fuel constituents, or the monitor for boiler load; or	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(vi)						
	When any component of the automatic fuel feed cutoff system fails.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(vii)						
	Failure of the automatic fuel feed cutoff system.  If the automatic emission-comparable fuel feed cutoff system fails to automatically and immediately cut off the flow of emission-comparable fuel (except as provided by paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(G)(6) of this section) upon an occurrence of an event linked to the cutoff system as required under paragraph (c)(2)(ii)(G)(1) of this section, you have failed to comply with the emission-comparable fuel cutoff conditions of this section.  If an equipment failure prevents immediate and automatic cutoff of the emission-comparable fuel feed, however, you must cease feeding emission-comparable fuel as quickly as possible.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(2)						
	Exceedance of a limit.  If, notwithstanding an automatic emission-comparable fuel feed cutoff, a limit linked to the cutoff system under paragraphs (c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section is exceeded while emission-comparable fuel remains in the combustion chamber, you have failed to comply with a condition of the exclusion.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(3)						
	Exceedance reporting.  For each exceedance of a limit linked to the cutoff system under paragraphs (c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section while emission-comparable fuel remains in the combustion chamber (i.e., when the emission-comparable fuel residence time has not transpired since the emission-comparable fuel feed was cutoff), you must submit to the RCRA regulatory authority a written report within 5 calendar days of the exceedance documenting:	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(4)						
	The exceedance;	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(4)(i)						
	The measures you have taken to manage the material as a hazardous waste; and	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(4)(ii)						
	The measures you have taken to notify the generator that you have failed to comply with a condition of the exclusion.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(4)(iii)						
	Testing.  The automatic emission-comparable fuel feed cutoff system and associated alarms must be tested at least weekly to verify operability, unless you document in the operating record that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspection will be adequate.  At a minimum, you must conduct operability testing at least monthly.  You must document and record in the operating record automatic emission-comparable fuel feed cutoff system operability test procedures and results.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(5)						
	Ramping down emission-comparable fuel feed.  You may ramp down the emission-comparable fuel feedrate over a period not to exceed one minute.  If you elect to ramp down the emission-comparable fuel feed, you must document ramp down procedures in the operating record.  The procedures must specify that the ramp down begins immediately upon initiation of automatic emission-comparable fuel feed cutoff and the procedures must prescribe a bona fide ramping down.  If a limit linked to the cutoff system under paragraphs (c)(2)(ii)(G)(1)(i) through (iv) of this section is exceeded during the ramp down, you have failed to comply with that limit.	261.38(c)(2)(ii)(G)(6)

	The initial notification required under paragraphs(c)(5)(i)(A)(1) and (3) must include a certification that the excluded fuel will be stored under the conditions of paragraphs (c)(1) or (e) of this section.	261.38(c)(5)(iv)(B)						
	Failure to comply with the conditions of the exclusion.  	261.38(d)						
	General.  An excluded fuel loses its exclusion if any person managing the fuel fails to comply with the conditions of the exclusion under this section, and the material must be managed as hazardous waste from the point of generation.  In such situations, EPA or an authorized state agency may take enforcement action under RCRA section 3008(a), except as provided in paragraph (d)(2) of this section.	261.38(d)(1)						
	Emission-comparable fuel burned in an off-site, unaffiliated burner.  If the generator that claims the exclusion for emission-comparable fuel that is burned in an off-site, unaffiliated burner documents in the operating record that reasonable efforts have been made under this paragraph to ensure that such burner complies with the conditions of exclusion, the burner rather than the generator will be liable for discarding a hazardous waste upon a finding that such burner has not complied with a condition of exclusion.	261.38(d)(2)						
	In making these reasonable efforts, the generator must, at a minimum, affirmatively answer the following questions prior to shipping emission-comparable fuel to the burner:	261.38(d)(2)(i)						
	Has the burner submitted the notification to the RCRA and CAA Directors required under paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section, and has the burner published the public notice of burning activities required under paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section?	261.38(d)(2)(i)(A)						
	Does publicly available information indicate that the burner facility has not had any formal enforcement actions taken against the facility in the previous three years for violations of the RCRA hazardous waste regulations and has not be classified as a significant non-complier with RCRA Subtitle C?  In answering this question, the emission-comparable fuel generator can rely on the publicly available information from EPA or the state.  If the burner facility has had a formal enforcement action taken against it in the previous three years for violations of the RCRA hazardous waste regulations and has been classified as a significant non-complier with RCRA Subtitle C, does the emission-comparable fuel generator have credible evidence that the burner will manage the emission-comparable fuel properly?  In answering this question, the emission-comparable fuel generator can obtain additional information from EPA, the state, or the facility itself that the facility has addressed the violations, taken remedial steps to address the violations and prevent future violations, or that the violations are not relevant to the management of emission-comparable fuel under the conditions of this section.	261.38(d)(2)(i)(B)						
	Does the burner have the equipment and trained personnel to manage the emission-comparable fuel under the conditions of this section?	261.38(d)(2)(i)(C)						
	In making these reasonable efforts, the generator may use any credible evidence available, including information obtained from the burner and information obtained from a third party;	261.38(d)(2)(ii)						
	The generator must maintain for a minimum of three years documentation and certification that reasonable efforts were made for each burner facility to which emission-comparable fuel is shipped.	261.38(d)(2)(iii)						
	Documentation and certification must be made available upon request by a regulatory authority within 72 hours, or within a longer period of time as specified by the regulatory authority.	261.38(d)(2)(iii)(A)						
	The certification statement must:	261.38(d)(2)(iii)(B)						
	Be signed and dated by an authorized representative of the generator company; and	261.38(d)(2)(iii)(B)(1)						
	Incorporate the following language:  “I hereby certify in good faith and to the best of my knowledge that, prior to arranging for transport of emission-comparable fuel to [insert name(s) of burner facility], reasonable efforts were made to ensure that the emission-comparable fuel would be stored and burned under the conditions prescribed by §261.38, and that such efforts were based on current and accurate information.”	261.38(d)(2)(iii)(B)(2)						
	Reasonable efforts must be repeated at a minimum of every three years.	261.38(d)(2)(iv)						
	An unaffiliated burner is a boiler or hazardous waste combustor located at a facility that is not owned by the same parent company that generated the emission-comparable fuel.	261.38(d)(2)(v)						
	Alternative storage conditions for emissions-comparable fuel.
