We . have reviewed your letter, and have approved your request to withdraw your notification. We are also removing you from the Tiered Permitting data system. You stated that you want to withdraw because: CHANGES IN OPERATING PROCEDURES If you treated hazardous waste at any time in the past, you may be subject to past annual fees as a hazardous waste facility for acting in a manner requiring a treatment permit. Most facilities authorized to operate under permit by rule or a grant of conditional authorization or exemption are forgiven these retroactive facility fees. By withdrawing your form DTSC 1772, you will not be eligible for that exemption. These fees total at least $10,000 a year depending on the quantity of waste treated. By submitting a notification under Permit by Rule, COnditiOnal Authorization or Conditional Exemption, you became subject to paYment of the PBR annual fee ($1,140 in 1993) and/or the CA annual fee ($1,140 in 1993) and/or the CE fee ($100). Your fee payments for the withdrawn notification will be refunded under sep ~te cover. If you have any questions or need further information, please call the apPropriate regional office at the number listed on the enclosed map, or call the Onsite Hazardous Waste Treatment Unit at the letterhead address.
