Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) A motor
				  carrier with its principal place of business in Oklahoma, or that designates
				  Oklahoma as its base state, shall register as a hazardous waste transporter
				  with and obtain a permit from the Commission before transporting a hazardous
				  waste in or through Oklahoma. A motor carrier that designates another
				  participating state as its base state shall register as a hazardous waste
				  transporter and obtain a permit from that state before transporting a hazardous
				  waste in or through the state of Oklahoma.
(b) A motor carrier who engages in interstate
				  or intrastate transportation of a hazardous waste and who is required to
				  register its hazardous waste transportation in Oklahoma shall file parts I, II
				  and IV of the uniform application (UPW) with the Commission and pay the
				  prescribed fees for registration and permits for its Oklahoma waste
				  transportation as well as fees for reciprocal states.
(c) Upon a motor carrier's compliance with
				  this Subchapter, the Commission shall issue a Hazardous Waste Registration
				  and/or Permit to the motor carrier within ninety (90) days. Motor carriers must
				  maintain valid liability insurance on file with this Commission in accordance
				  with OAC
				  165:30-3-11. Failure to
				  do so shall subject the registration or permit to revocation.
(d) The Commission shall not issue a
				  registration or permit to a motor carrier if the Commission determines that a
				  motor carrier's conduct would constitute grounds for suspension or revocation
				  under this Subchapter. The Transportation Division may elect to request
				  additional information from the motor carrier to support the motor carrier's
				  application for registration and/or permit. Additional information requested
				  shall be based upon the motor carrier's compliance with the federal motor
				  carrier safety regulations.
(e) A
				  registration is valid for one (1) year and a permit is valid for three (3)
				  years unless the motor carrier fails to renew its registration, the permit is
				  suspended or revoked or there is a substantial change in the motor carrier's
				  operations during the permitting period.
(f) Each motor carrier shall file a Part I -
				  Registration of the uniform application (UPW - Part I) on an annual basis.
				  However, for the first year after the effective date of this Subchapter, the
				  Transportation Division may stagger the registration date for motor carriers.
				  Registration fees shall be apportioned for any quarterly time frame exceeding
				  one (1) year.
(g) Each motor
				  carrier shall additionally file a Part II - Permitting of the uniform
				  application (UPW - Part II) every (3) three years. However, for the first year
				  after the effective date of this Subchapter, the Transportation Division may
				  divide the total pool of applicants to be granted a uniform permit into three
				  (3) classes. The first class may be granted uniform permits with a term of one
				  (1) year; the second class may be granted uniform permits with a term of two
				  (2) years; and the third class may be granted uniform permits for three (3)
				  years. Permit fees shall be apportioned for any permit time not equaling a
				  three (3) year time frame.
(h) Each
				  uniform registration and permit application shall contain certification by a
				  responsible official of the applicant who is authorized to certify applications
				  for registrations and permits on behalf of the applicant. Such certification
				  shall contain the following statement, "I certify that, to the best of my
				  knowledge and after due investigation, the information contained in this
				  application is true, accurate, and complete" and shall contain the name, title,
				  and telephone number of the official certifying the application. Such
				  certification must be signed and dated by the official certifying the
				  application.
(i) No registration or
				  permit shall be issued to a motor carrier with outstanding fines owed to
				  another state agency.
(j) A
				  registered and permitted motor carrier shall maintain a copy of its valid
				  registration and permit for Hazardous Waste in each vehicle when transporting a
				  hazardous waste.
(k) The hazardous
				  waste registration and permit are non-transferable.
