To: Stephens
From: Cotsworth
Organization of Recipient: Aaron Oil Company, Inc.
Description: Absorbent pads used to absorb petroleum products (e.g., gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil) from spills and tank cleanings, which are processed to recover petroleum products, are off-specification CCPs being reclaimed and not wastes. Recovered petroleum products that are reprocessed or burned as fuels are not solid wastes. Residues from spill cleanups are viewed as off-specification products. CCPs not specifically listed in 261.33 have the same regulatory status as CCPs that are listed when determining regulatory status of recycled material (SEE ALSO: 50 FR 14219; 4/11/85).
