				  enclosed thermal treatment device used to regenerate spent activated
				  carbon.
(b) "Carbon dioxide stream"
				  means carbon dioxide that has been captured from an emission source such as a

				  R
				  299.9307. Central accumulation area also includes an
				  onsite hazardous waste accumulation area at an eligible academic entity that
				  chooses to participate under R 299.9315 and is subject to
				  40
				  CFR 262.211 when accumulating unwanted
				  material or hazardous waste.
(e)

				  materials being burned are within 100 degrees Celsius of the specified
				  operating temperature.
(l)
				  "Commingling" means the transfer of hazardous wastes between containers or
				  vehicles by a transporter during transportation that results in the waste being
				  mixed or repackaged.
(m)
				  "Component" means either the tank or the ancillary equipment of a tank

				  storage, or disposal facility in a receiving country to which the hazardous
				  waste will be sent.
(q)
				  "Consolidation" means the transfer of containers of hazardous wastes between

				  containers holding the wastes being opened and without the wastes being
				  repackaged.
(r) "Constituent" or
				  "hazardous waste constituent" means a constituent that caused the administrator
				  to list the hazardous waste in 40 CFR part 261, subpart D, a constituent that
				  is listed in table l of
				  40 CFR
				  261.24, or a constituent that is listed in
				  table 202 or 205c of these rules.
(s) "Consumer electronics" means devices
				  containing an electronic circuit board, liquid crystal display, or plasma
				  display such as those commonly found in homes and offices and these devices
				  when used in other settings.
(t)
				  "Contained" as it relates to hazardous secondary materials that are
				  legitimately recycled under
				  R 299.9232, means held in a unit,
				  including a land-based unit, that meets all of the following criteria:
(i) The unit is in good condition, with no
				  leaks or other continuing or intermittent unpermitted releases of the hazardous
				  secondary materials to the environment, and is designed, as appropriate for
				  materials, to prevent releases of the materials to the environment. Unpermitted
				  releases are releases that are not covered by a permit, such as a permit to
				  discharge to water or air, and may include releases through surface transport
				  by precipitation runoff, releases to the soil and groundwater, wind-blown dust,
				  fugitive air emissions, and catastrophic failures.
(ii) The unit is properly labeled or
				  otherwise has a system, such as a log, to immediately identify the hazardous
				  secondary materials in the unit.
(iii) The unit holds hazardous secondary
				  materials that are compatible with other hazardous secondary materials placed
				  in the unit and is compatible with the materials used to construct the unit and
				  addresses any potential risks of fires or explosions.
(iv) Hazardous secondary materials in units
				  that meet the applicable requirements of part 6 of these rules are
				  presumptively contained.
