On October 4, 2001 Utility Solid Waste Activities Group (USWAG) submitted comments comments on RSPA’s notice of proposed rulemaking on Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements. USWAG supported RSPA’s intention to modify its regulations as necessary to support EPA’s electronic manifest initiative. USWAG recommended that RSPA streamline the regulations by incorporating by reference EPA’s hazardous waste manifest regulations and simply requiring that a printed copy of the hazardous waste manifest form serve as the shipping paper and accompany the shipment. USWAG also recommended that RSPA advocate certain modifications of EPA’s regulations to promote regulatory clarity and compatibility.
