  - (ii) is used within the state for:
    - (A) energy recovery or production;
    - (B) the creation of an ultimate product;
    - (C) the production of crumb rubber, if a contract exists for the sale of the crumb rubber for use, either within or outside the state, as a component in an ultimate product;

      - (I) the chipped tire is beneficially used, either within or outside the state; and
      - (II) a contract exists for the sale of the chipped tire; or
    - (E) a use defined in rule as recycling.
- (b) A recycler is not eligible to receive partial reimbursement for transportation or processing costs related to the creation of an ultimate product if:
  - (i) the recycler used crumb rubber as a component of the ultimate product; and
  - (ii) the recycler, or another recycler, previously received under this section partial reimbursement for transportation or processing costs related to the production of the crumb rubber.
- (c) A recycler who qualifies under this section for partial reimbursement may waive the reimbursement and request in writing that the reimbursement be paid to a person who:

  - (ii) materials derived from waste tires that are larger than shredded waste tires.

(2) Subject to the limitations in Section 19-6-816, a recycler is entitled to:

- (c) $20 as partial reimbursement for each ton of chipped tires used for a beneficial use.

(3)

- (b) A recycler who is eligible for partial reimbursement under Subsection (3)(a) may also receive partial reimbursement for recycling a tire received from a location within the state other than those associated with a retail tire business, including a waste tire from a waste tire pile or an abandoned waste tire pile, as provided by Section 19-6-810.
