To be eligible as a fully certified operator, an individual must maintain a provisional certificate from ASME or a certificate described in part 7011.1280, and pass an examination administered by the waste combustor's certified municipal waste combustor examiner.

The waste combustor owner or operator shall maintain at the waste combustor facility for five years a record of the names of all personnel that the examiner has certified.

This record shall contain the examination dates, the nature or content of the examination, the full name of the individual certified, the date of certification, and the signature of the certified examiner for that facility with the following certification:

"I certify under penalty of law that, based on my examination of these persons, these persons have demonstrated the knowledge and skills that qualify these persons to be fully certified operators at (name of waste combustor facility) in accordance with the procedures of Minnesota Rules, parts 7011.1280 to 7011.1284."
