In one sentenceSection 995.675 lets three specific state environmental agencies require an admitted surety insurer to be listed in the U.S. Treasury's Circular 570, notwithstanding the general limits of §§ 995.660 and 995.670, when needed to comply with the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
Full Text of § 995.675
Plain-English Summary
This section carves out the one exception to §§ 995.660 and 995.670's uniform documentation rule. The California Integrated Waste Management Board, the State Water Resources Control Board, and the Department of Toxic Substances Control may each require an admitted surety insurer to be listed in Circular 570 -- the U.S. Treasury's list of companies certified to write federal surety bonds.
The exception exists because federal law demands it: these agencies need the Circular 570 listing to comply with Subtitle C or D of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which governs hazardous and solid waste. Outside that narrow context, the general rule barring extra requirements under § 995.670 still controls.
