(1) Whether sample analyses or knowledge of the halogen content of the used oil will be used to make this determination.
(2) If sample analyses are used to make this determination:
(i) The sampling method used to obtain representative samples to be analyzed. A representative sample may be obtained using either:
(A) One of the sampling methods in appendix I of part 261 of this chapter; or
(B) A method shown to be equivalent under §§ 260.20 and 260.21 of this chapter;

(B) A method shown to be equivalent under §§ 260.20 and 260.21 of this chapter;
(ii) Whether used oil will be sampled and analyzed prior to or after any processing/re-refining;
(iii) The frequency of sampling to be performed, and whether the analysis will be performed on-site or off-site; and
(iv) The methods used to analyze used oil for the parameters specified in § 279.72 ; and
