How do I get an EPA ID Number? Handlers of RCRA waste who need an U.S. EPA ID Number must send a "Notification of Regu- lated Waste Activity", form 8700-12, to the U.S. EPA contractor at the address given in its in- structions. You can request this form by calling (415) 495-8895, or you can download the form from the U.S. EPA web site. Handlers who do not need a U.S. EPA ID but do need a California ID Number can obtain it by completing and submitting the "California Ha- zardous Waste Permanent ID Number Applica- tion", DTSC Form 1358, by mail, email, or fax. You can download the form from the DTSC website or you can request a blank form by call- ing DTSC at 800-618-6942. DTSC no longer is- sues permanent ID Numbers by telephone. Am I charged fees for the issuance of the ID Number? There is no charge for issuing the number, but DTSC is required to collect an annual business information verification fee for each permanent ID Number. The fee is based on the number of employees in the entire organization. If your business has fewer than 50 employees, the fee is zero. There is no verification fee for a Tempo- rary ID Number. Frequently Asked Questions about the ID Number verification process and manifest fees are available on the DTSC website. I usually don't generate hazardous waste, but I recently generated some. Can I get a temporary EPA ID Number for this one time event? DTSC issues temporary (or "provisional") ID Numbers to people or businesses that do not rou- tinely generate hazardous waste. Examples of non -routine activities include asbestos abate- ment, removing underground tanks, and remov- ing hazardous wastes that were abandoned in a leased building. A California temporary number is only valid for non-RCRA (California only) waste or when the total RCRA waste hauled is less than 220 pounds or 27 gallons per month. To get a California temporary ID Number, call DTSC at (800) 618-6942 (in-state) or (916) 255- 1136 (out-of-state.) U.S. EPA also issues provi- sional ID Numbers for non -routinely generated federal wastes. Temporary and provisional ID Numbers are valid for a maximum of 90 days but can be used to haul any amount of hazardous waste that has been generated at the site before and during that period. Holders of temporary Numbers are not charged EPA ID verification fees. Do I need to get a new ID Number if I move my business? Yes. If you have a California ID Number, submit one DTSC Form 1358 to deactivate your old number, and another to request that a number be issued for your new location. This is also true if you are selling or buying a business; the seller must inactivate the old number and have the new owner submit a DTSC Form 1358 to have a new number issued. If you have a U.S. EPA ID Number, these actions are done through the use of Form 8700-12, "Notification of Regulated Waste Activity". I've always wondered: do the letters in front of the ID Numbers mean anything? Early federally—issued ID Numbers had two let- ters corresponding to the generator's state and ten digits. Current ID Numbers consist of three letters followed by nine digits. The significance of those letters is as follows: 1JL E- C; Ez 1 1 V, I E L -) SEP 08 2015 ENVIRONMENTAL
