Maine Department of Environmental Protection Requirements on Transportation of Cathode Ray Tubes

Notice of administrative determination of preemption.

Federal hazardous material transportation law does not preempt MDEP's regulations on classification of used cathode ray tubes ("CRTs") as "universal waste" and broken CRTs and glass removed from CRTs ("CRT glass") as a State "hazardous waste" and the marking, labeling, shipping documentation, and transporter requirements, because these requirements do not apply or pertain to materials regulated under Federal hazardous materials transportation law and the HMR or otherwise constitute an obstacle to accomplishing and carrying out Federal hazardous materials transportation law and the regulations issued under that law.
