A rule about the container, not the label

On this page11
Every other spine here regulates information. This one regulates the object.

The requirement is two lines long and it is about the thing itself

Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at generator facilities must be in good condition, with no severe rusting, apparent structural defects or deterioration, and not leaking, with no visible leaks.

Which is unlike every other rule described across this library

A net weight. A fiber content statement. A hazard statement and a pictogram. A care instruction. A formaldehyde limit in parts per million. All of them are requirements about information.

This one says nothing about information in paragraph (b) at all

It describes a physical state and requires the container to be in it. The labeling requirement is a separate paragraph and it is two words long.

And it is the only test in this library answered by looking

No visible leaks. A person standing in front of the container can settle it. Which is worth saying because almost nothing else here can be settled that way.

The hazard communication article test cannot be done by inspection

It asks what an item releases under normal conditions of use, which is a question about a situation rather than about the object in front of you.

A formaldehyde limit needs a chamber and a certified test method

An emission rate in parts per million is invisible, continuous and slow. Nobody holding a panel can check it.

And a cashmere diameter needs a micrometer and a statistician

An average under nineteen microns, a tail condition above thirty, and a coefficient of variation under twenty four percent.

Against which, no severe rusting is refreshingly direct

Three words of qualification, severe, apparent and deterioration, all of them judgments a competent person makes by eye, and the rule accepts that.

Which is also where it stops touching this shelf

The catalog describes a specification for a new container. Paragraph (b) is about a container that has been in service. No record here answers a question about condition, and no page says it does.

And nothing here says any container may hold used oil

These are small dry storage containers. The section is the spine of this property because of how it is built, not because it reaches anything on the shelf.

References

40 CFR 279.22(a) and (b). Paragraph (a): "Used oil generators shall not store used oil in units other than tanks, containers, or units subject to regulation under parts 264 or 265 of this chapter." Paragraph (b): "Condition of units. Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil at generator facilities must be: (1) In good condition (no severe rusting, apparent structural defects or deterioration); and (2) Not leaking (no visible leaks)." The section also notes that used oil generators are subject to Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures under 40 CFR part 112, and to the Underground Storage Tank standards of 40 CFR part 280 for used oil stored in underground tanks "whether or not the used oil exhibits any characteristics of hazardous waste". law.cornell.edu
Written from 40 CFR 279.22 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section governs how a used oil generator stores used oil; it does not govern fuses, clips, clamps, bulbs, retainers, caps or valve stems, and it does not reach any container on this shelf. Nothing here says any container may be used to store used oil or any other fluid, and nothing here is guidance about handling or disposing of used oil. No container on this shelf is described as being in any particular condition, because the catalog records a specification and not a state. This shelf is a subset of the store-small-dry shelf and the sewing notions property enumerates that shelf.
