						used oil. The composition of still bottoms varies with column operation and
						feedstock.
Tank
means any stationary device,

						result of such use is contaminated by physical or chemical impurities.
Used oil aggregation point
means any
						site or facility that accepts, aggregates, and/or stores used oil collected
						only from other used oil generation sites owned or operated by the owner or

						points may also accept used oil from household do-it-yourselfers.

means any person
						who conducts either of the following activities:
(1) Directs a shipment of off-specification used oil from
						their facility to a used oil burner; or
(2) First claims that used oil that is to be burned for

						§279.11 of this part.
Used oil generator
means any person, by
						site, whose act or process produces used oil or whose act first causes used oil
						to become subject to regulation.
Used oil processor/re-refiner
means a
						facility that processes used oil.
Used oil transfer facility

						transportation related facility including loading docks, parking areas, storage
						areas and other areas where shipments of used oil are held for more than 24
