Processing includes, but is not limited to: blending used oil with virgin petroleum products, blending used oils to meet the fuel specification, filtration, simple distillation, chemical or physical separation and re-refining. The requirements of this subpart do not apply to:

(1) Transporters that conduct incidental processing operations that occur during the normal course of transportation as provided in 279.41 of this regulation; or

(2) Burners that conduct incidental processing operations that occur during the normal course of used oil management prior to burning as provided in 279.61.b.

Processor/re-refiners burning used oil for energy recovery under the following conditions are not subject to Subpart G of this regulation:

(a) The used oil is burned in an on-site space heater that meets the requirements of 279.23; or

(b) The used oil is burned for purposes of processing used oil, which is considered burning incidentally to used oil processing.
