The permittee shall surrender a revoked or suspended permit, and certify in writing to the Department within fourteen days of revocation or suspension that all Department decals have been removed from all vehicles.(3)
Leasing, loaning or renting of permits or decals is prohibited. No permit holder shall engage in any conduct which falsely tends to create the appearance that services are being furnished by the holder when in fact they are not.(4)
A waste tire carrier shall leave waste tires for storage or disposal only in a permitted waste tire storage site, at a land disposal site permitted by the Department to store waste tires or with an operating plan allowing the storage of waste tires, or at another site approved by the Department, such as a site authorized to accept waste tires under the laws or regulations of another state.(5)
The Department may allow a permittee to use up to two covered containers to collect waste tires. A maximum of 2,000 tires may be so collected at any one time, and for no longer than 90 days in each container, beginning with the date when a waste tire is first placed in a container. The containers must be located at the permittee’s main place of business.(6)
A waste tire carrier permittee shall inform the Department within two weeks of any change in license plate number or ownership (sale) of any vehicle under his or her waste tire carrier permit.(7)
Waste tire carrier permittees shall record and maintain for a minimum of three years, except as otherwise specified in this section, the following information regarding their activities for each month of operation:(a)
The approximate quantity of waste tires collected. Quantities may be measured by aggregate loads or cubic yards, if the carrier documents the approximate number included in each load;(b)
Where or from whom the waste tires were collected, and whether the waste tires are from the cleanup of a waste tire pile;(c)
Where the waste tires were deposited. The waste tire carrier shall keep receipts or other written materials documenting where all tires were stored or disposed of. This information shall be maintained for five years.(8)
Waste tire carrier permittees shall submit to the Department an annual report that summarizes the information collected under section (7) of this rule. The information shall be broken down by quarters. This report shall be submitted to the Department annually as a condition of holding a permit together with the annual compliance fee or permit renewal application.(9)
A holder of a waste tire carrier permit shall pay to the Department a nonrefundable annual fee in the following amount:(a)
Annual compliance fee (per company or corporation) — $175;(b)
Plus annual fee per vehicle used for hauling waste tires — $25.(10)

Annual compliance fee (per company or corporation) — $250;(b)
Plus annual fee per vehicle used for hauling waste tires — $25.(11)
A holder of a waste tire carrier permit shall pay to the Department by February 15 of each year an annual compliance fee for the coming year (March 1 through February 28) as required by sections (9)–(10) of this rule. The permittee shall provide evidence of required financial assurance when the annual compliance fee is submitted.

However, adding a vehicle is subject to a separate fee pursuant to OAR 340-064-0055 (Waste Tire Carrier Permit Required)(16).(15)
The fee to reinstate a waste tire carrier permit which has been revoked by the Department is $100. No fee is required to reinstate a waste tire carrier permit which has been suspended by the Department.(16)
