				  submit an original application with two copies to the enforcement agency. In
				  order to continue operations after January 1, 1992, persons authorized to
				  operate under an interim status infectious waste facility permit effective
				  January 1, 1991, shall comply with the provisions of this article in submitting
				  a medical waste treatment facility permit application. The application shall be
				  completed by the applicant pursuant to Sections
				  65610 through
				  65612,
				  65622, and
				  65625 and must be approved by the
				  enforcement agency prior to a permit being issued. Failure to provide the
				  renewal information required in these sections prior to January 1, 1992, shall
				  result in a final permit not being issued.
(b) For new onsite medical waste facilities,
				  the application shall be filed with the enforcement agency, and written
				  approval by the enforcement agency shall be provided before construction can
				  commence. For all offsite medical waste facilities, the applications shall be
				  filed with the Department and written approval by the Department shall be
				  provided before construction can commence.

				  facility or transfer station with a valid permit which is about to expire shall
				  submit a new permit application at least 90 days before the expiration date of
				  the effective permit.

				  facility is owned by one person but is operated by another person, it is the
				  operator's duty to obtain a permit. Both the owner and operator shall sign the
				  application.
(e) No medical waste
				  shall be treated until the applicant has fully complied with the application
				  requirements for that permit and the permit has been issued by the enforcement
				  agency.

				  records of all data used to complete the permit application, along with any
