  (2) the regulations in 40 CFR §262.15 as adopted under §335.53 of this title for large quantity generators and small quantity generators, except as provided in 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K, as adopted under §335.59 of this title; or

(j) A reverse distributor as defined in §335.751 of this title (relating to Definitions) is subject to Subchapter W of this chapter (relating to Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals) for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals instead of this subchapter.

(k) A healthcare facility, as defined in §335.751 of this title, must determine whether it is subject to Subchapter W of this chapter for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, based on the total hazardous waste it generates per calendar month (including both hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical hazardous waste). A healthcare facility that generates more than 100 kilograms (kg) (220 pounds) of hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of acute hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than 100 kg (220 pounds) per calendar month of any residue or contaminated soil, water, or other debris, resulting from the clean-up of a spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in 40 CFR §261.31 or §261.33(e) as adopted under §335.504 of this title (relating to Hazardous Waste Determination), is subject to Subchapter W of this chapter for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals in lieu of this subchapter. A healthcare facility that is a very small quantity generator when counting all of its hazardous waste, including both its hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and its non-pharmaceutical hazardous waste, remains subject to 40 CFR §262.14 as adopted in §335.53 of this title, and is not subject to Subchapter W of this chapter, except for §335.761 and §335.765 of this title (relating to Prohibition of Sewering Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals; and Residues of Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals in Empty Containers), and the optional provisions of §335.759 of this title (relating to Healthcare Facilities That are Very Small Quantity Generators for Both Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and Non-pharmaceutical Hazardous Waste).
