(d) Used oil burners of off-specification used oil.

(2) The registration form shall be accompanied by a registration fee of $100.00 per facility. It is not necessary to submit more than one form or fee if registering more than one activity, or if the registration is for an entire transportation fleet operating out of one facility site. The registration form and fee shall be due by March 1 of each year. The registration fee is waived for used oil processing facilities for which a permit fee was paid under Rule 62-710.800, F.A.C.

(3) Upon receipt of the complete and accurate electronic registration via the Department Business Portal (https://www.fldepportal.com/DepPortal/go/home) or a hard copy Form 62-730.900(1)(b) to the address listed in subsection (1) of this rule, and payment of the registration fee, the Department shall issue to each registered person a validated registration form which shall be valid until June 30 of the following year. For used oil transporters, acknowledgment of registration shall be included in the certification process of Rule 62-710.600, F.A.C. If the registration is not renewed by June 30 of the following year because the Department has not received complete and accurate registration renewal documents and the registration fee, the facility will no longer be authorized to transport, or market used oil, or used oil filters, or burn off-specification used oil.
