(b) A generator who has not received an EPA identification number may obtain one by applying to the [DEQ] using EPA form 8700-12. [The completed form shall be submitted to DEQ through the myDEQ online portal.] Upon receiving the request, the [DEQ] will assign an EPA identification number to the generator.
