Hazardous Materials: Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

RSPA proposes to revise its regulations on the use of the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest for shipments of hazardous wastes to parallel some changes proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). RSPA is proposing to require that, if the generator of a hazardous waste prepares an electronic manifest, either a physical copy of the electronic manifest or another document containing the information required for a shipping paper must accompany the hazardous waste in transportation. The intended effect of this proposed rule is to maintain consistency between EPA's and RSPA's requirements.
