Section 722.303  Notice of Election into the Subpart K Requirements

a)         If an eligible academic entity elects to become subject to the requirements of this Subpart K, it must notify the Agency of this election in writing using the Notification of RCRA Subtitle C Activities (Site Identification Form) (USEPA Form 8700-12) for all the laboratories that the eligible academic entity owns or operates under the same USEPA identification number.  If the eligible academic entity is a VSQG that does not have a USEPA identification number, the VSQG must notify the Agency that it has made this choice for all the laboratories that the eligible academic entity owns or operates that are onsite, as defined by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110.  If the eligible academic entity has multiple USEPA identification numbers, or if it is a VSQG with multiple sites, it must submit a separate notification (using USEPA Form 8700-12) for each USEPA identification number (or site, for a VSQG) that it elects to become subject to the requirements of this Subpart K.  The eligible academic entity must submit USEPA Form 8700-12 to the Agency before it begins operating under this Subpart K.
