(A) (1) Hazardous wastes that are recycled are subject to the requirements for generators, transporters, and storage facilities of paragraphs (B) and (C) of this rule, except for the materials listed in paragraphs (A)(2), (A)(3), and (A)(4) of this rule. Hazardous wastes that are recycled will be known as "recyclable materials."

(a) Recyclable materials used in a manner constituting disposal (rules 3745-266-20 to 2745-266-23 of the Administrative Code);
(b) Hazardous wastes burned [as "burn" is defined in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-266-100 of the Administrative Code] for energy recovery in boilers and industrial furnaces that are not regulated under rules 3745-57-40 to 3745-57-51 or 3745-68-40 to 3745-68-52 of the Administrative Code (rules 3745-266-100 to 3745-266-112 of the Administrative Code);

(a) Industrial ethyl alcohol that is reclaimed except that, unless provided otherwise in an international agreement as specified in 40 CFR 262.58:
(i) A person initiating a shipment for reclamation in a foreign country, and any intermediary arranging for the shipment, must comply with the requirements applicable to a "primary exporter" in 40 CFR 262.53, 40 CFR 262.56(a)(1) to (a)(4), (a)(6), and (b) and 40 CFR 262.57, export such materials only upon consent of the "receiving country" and in conformance with the "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent" as defined in 40 CFR Part 262 subpart E, and provide a copy of the "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent" to the shipment to the transporter transporting the shipment for export;
[Comment 1: The terms "primary exporter," "receiving country," and "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent" are defined in 40 CFR 262.51.]
[Comment 2: The exercise of foreign relations and international commerce powers is reserved to the federal government under the Constitution. These responsibilities are not delegable to the states. Therefore, the importation and exportation of hazardous waste into and out of the U.S. is solely regulated by the federal government.]
(ii) A transporter transporting a shipment for export may not accept a shipment if he knows the shipment does not conform to the "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent," must ensure that a copy of the "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent" accompanies the shipment, and must ensure that it is delivered to the facility designated by the person initiating the shipment.
(b) Scrap metal that is not excluded under paragraph (A)(13) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code;
(c) Fuels produced from the refining of oil-bearing hazardous waste along with normal process streams at a petroleum refining facility, if such wastes result from normal petroleum refining, production, and transportation practices [this exemption does not apply to fuels produced from oil recovered from oil-bearing hazardous waste, where such recovered oil is already excluded under paragraph (A)(12)(b) of rule 3745-51-04 of the Administrative Code];
(d) (i) Hazardous waste fuel produced from oil-bearing hazardous wastes from petroleum refining, production, or transportation practices, or produced from oil reclaimed from such hazardous wastes, where such hazardous wastes are reintroduced into a process that does not use distillation or does not produce products from crude oil so long as the resulting fuel meets the used oil specification under rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code and so long as no other hazardous wastes are used to produce the hazardous waste fuel;
(ii) Hazardous waste fuel produced from oil-bearing hazardous waste from petroleum refining production and transportation practices, where such hazardous wastes are reintroduced into a refining process after a point at which contaminants are removed, so long as the fuel meets the used oil fuel specification under rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code;
(iii) Oil reclaimed from oil-bearing hazardous wastes from petroleum refining, production, and transportation practices, which reclaimed oil is burned as a fuel without reintroduction to a refining process, so long as the reclaimed oil meets the used oil specification under rule 3745-279-11 of the Administrative Code.
(4) Used oil that is recycled and is also a hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a hazardous characteristic is not subject to the requirements of Chapters 3745-50, 3745-51, 3745-52, 3745-53, 3745-54 to 3745-57, 3745-65 to 3745-69, 3745-205, 3745-256, 3745-266, and 3745-270 of the Administrative Code, but is regulated under Chapter 3745-279 of the Administrative Code.
