(

(

prepared
in
support
of

hazardous
waste
manifest
revision
proposed
rule
(
http://
www.

mods.
htm).
The
Dec
2000
EBD
was
authored
by
ICF
Consulting
Inc.
under
project
direction
of
Earl
Harris
(
ICF
Consulting
Inc.)
and
Work
Assignment
Manager
Frank
Smith
(
Economist,
OSW),
using
USEPA
Contract
68­
W­
98­
221.

Relative
to
the
scope
of
both
the
Dec
2000
EBD
and
the
22
May
2001
proposed
rule,
this
document
excludes
the
electronic
automation
of
the
RCRA
manifest
system
(
i.
e.
"
e­
manifest")
of
the
proposed
rule,
and
addresses
the
final
rule
revisions
to
the
manifest
form.
For
purpose
of
presentation,
this
document
organizes
the
RCRA
manifest
form
revisions
into
three
categories:

!
Impacts
A:
Revisions
to
the
RCRA
hazardous
waste
manifest
form
contents/
appearance;

!
Impacts
B:
Changes
in
manifest
form
printing/
acquisition
procedures;
and
!
Impacts
C:
Adoption
of
existing
state
"
interim
policy"
procedures
for
rejected
shipments
&
non­
empty
haz
waste
shipment
containers.

The
Dec
2000
EBD
estimated
$
7.9
million/
year
(
i.
e.
about
190,000
hours/
year)
in
national
regulatory
paperwork
burden
cost
savings
for
the
manifest
form
revisions
(
excluding
the
estimated
annual
impacts
of
the
proposed
e­
manifest).
In
comparison,
this
EBD
estimates
$
12.7
to
$
20.6
million/
year
(
i.
e.
249,000
to
397,000
hours/
year)
in
national
regulatory
burden
cost
savings,
which
differs
from
the
Dec
2000
EBD
because
of:
(
1)
reference
data
updates,
(
2)
new
ranges
applied
to
key
numerical
assumptions
(
e.
g.
count
of
annual
manifests,
count
of
affected
entities,
average
hourly
wages
of
affected
labor),
and
(
3)
modifications
to
estimation
computations.
This
final
rule
burden
reduction
represents
about
4%
to
5%
reduction
relative
to
a
RCRA
manifest
national
baseline
burden
of
4.6
to
9.7
million
hours/
year
(
i.
e.
$
193
to
$
770
million/
year).

Background
Information
About
RCRA
Manifests
A
component
of
the
USEPA's
"
cradle­
to­
grave"
RCRA
hazardous
waste
regulatory
program,
is
the
"
Uniform
Hazardous
Waste
Manifest"
(
i.
e.
USEPA
Form
8700­
22
&
22A).
A
completed
manifest
form
 
including
description
and
quantity
of
the
waste,
and
identity
of
all
parties
involved
in
shipment
 
must
accompany
the
shipment
of
hazardous
waste,
from
the
point
of
generation,
to
the
point
of
treatment,
storage,
recycling,
or
disposal.
As
of
2001,
an
estimated
139,000
establishments
(
facilities)
in
at
least
45
industries
in
the
US
are
subject
to
the
RCRA
manifest
system:

!
Hazardous
waste
generators
(
over
95%
ship
waste
offsite):

LQGs:

In
response
to
public
requests
in
the
1990s
to
the
USEPA
for
a
streamlined
and
up­
to­
date
RCRA
hazardous
waste
manifest
system,
USEPA
is
promulgating
revisions
to
the
RCRA
hazardous
waste
manifest
form,
to
provide
national
uniformity
and
other
benefits
to
waste
handlers
and
to
the
States
(
USEPA
issued
the
original
manifest
form
on
20
March
1984).
The
purpose
of
this
"
Economics
Background
Document"
is
to
estimate
the
potential
impacts
(
benefits
&
costs)
to
waste
handlers,
to
State
governments,
and
to
the
USEPA,
associated
with
these
revisions.

A
Purpose
of
This
Document
This
report
estimates
the
expected
national,
average
annual
impacts
to
both
(
a)
waste
handlers
and
(
b)
state
governments,
under
OSW's
final
rule
revisions
to
the
RCRA
hazardous
waste
manifest
form
(
EPA
Form
8700­
22
&
22A).
The
rule
finalizes
revisions
to
the
RCRA
manifest
form
and
related
manifesting
procedures,
proposed
on
22
May
2001
(
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
epaoswer/
hazwaste/
gener/
manifest/
mods.
htm).

By
OSW's
intentional
design
to
revise
the
RCRA
manifest
form
into
a
nationally
uniform
manifest
form
(
i.
e.
by
eliminating
state­
by­
state
variations
in
the
RCRA
manifest
form),
OSW's
a
priori
expected
incremental
change
in
annual
burden
resulting
from
the
final
rule,
is
a
net
reduction
in
national
burden,
to
entities
involved
in
the
RCRA
manifest
system,
because
of
the
expected
resultant
simplification
to
entities
using
this
form
(
e.
g.
particularly
for
interstate
transport
of
hazardous
wastes,
and
for
companies
which
operate
facilities
in
multiple
states).

Because
of
the
relatively
wide
variety
of
entities
and
types
of
wastes
involved
in
the
RCRA
manifest
system,
and
the
fact
that
OSW
did
not
conduct
a
new
statistical
information/
data
collection
survey
in
support
of
this
study,
OSW
has
made
several
quantitative
assumptions
in
this
analysis,
which
provide
sources
of
uncertainty
in
the
economic
impact
estimates
in
this
report.
In
addition,
this
document
applies
a
nonprobability
sampling
design
in
the
selection
of
a
sample
of
waste
handlers
and
state
governments
from
which
to
ask
for
manifest
system
burden
data
and
information,
which
adds
another
source
of
uncertainty
because
the
survey
findings
of
this
study
do
not
necessarily
have
a
highlevel
of
statistical
validity
or
confidence.
Consequently,
the
numerical
values
assigned
to
data
elements,
and
numerical
estimations,
should
be
interpreted
only
as
rough
approximations,
and
may
not
be
generalizeable
to
all
potentially
affected
entities,
industries,

Statement
of
Regulatory
Need
The

(
Section
3002(
a)(
5);
http://

cornell.
edu/

html)
directs
EPA
to
establish
regulatory
standards
for
hazardous
waste
handlers,
including
the
specific
charge
to
establish
a
manifest
system
or
other
reasonable
means
to
ensure
that
hazardous
waste
shipments
are
designated
for,
and
in
fact
arrive
at,
permitted
waste
management
facilities.

"[
U]
se
of
a
manifest
system
and
any
other
reasonable
means
necessary
to
assure
that
all
such
hazardous
waste
generated
is
designated
for
treatment,
storage,
or
disposal
in
and
arrives
at,
treatment,
storage
or
disposal
facilities
(
other
than
facilities
on
the
premises
where
the
waste
is
generated)
for
which
a
permit
has
been
issued
as
provided
in
this
subtitle,
or
pursuant
to
title
I
of
the
Marine
Protection,
Research,
and
Sanctuaries
Act
(
86
Stat.
1052)..."

Because
the
manifest
is
also
a
shipping
paper
under
the
US
Department
of
Transportation's
(
USDOT)
preemptive
hazardous
materials
regulations,
it
is
a
uniquely
Federal
role
to
establish
the
required
content
and
procedures
for
use
of
the
RCRA
hazardous
waste
manifest.

Milestones
in
the
evolution
of
OSW's
RCRA
manifest
system
are
as
follows:

!
1980:
In
the
first
years
of
the
hazardous
waste
program
after
1976,
EPA
established
narrative
informational
requirements
and
regulatory
procedures
(
40
CFR
262
Subpart
B)
for
RCRA
manifests.
The
States
then
developed
their
distinct
RCRA
manifest
forms
based
on
these
informational
requirements,
and
hazardous
waste
handlers
were
required
to
carry
as
many
manifests
for
a
single
shipment
as
there
were
states
affected
(
traversed)
by
a
shipment.
The
regulated
community
complained
of
the
paperwork
burden,
confusion,
and
duplication
of
effort
that
resulted
from
having
no
specific
single
Federal
format
for
the
contents
of
the
RCRA
manifest
form.

!
1984:
Therefore,
in
1984,
EPA
and
DOT
jointly
promulgated
the
RCRA
"
Uniform
Hazardous
Waste
Manifest"
two­
page
form
(
EPA
Form
8700­
22
&
22A
continuation
sheet)
containing
35
information
elements
(
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
epaoswer/
general/
orientat/
romapa.
pdf),
which
is
still
in
use
20
years
later
as
of
year
2004.
The
1984
RCRA
Uniform
Manifest
improved
the
situation
greatly
by
designating
one
set
of
Federally
required
data
elements,
and
by
clarifying
that
a
RCRA
hazardous
waste
shipment
need
only
be
accompanied
by
one
RCRA
manifest
form,
not
several.
However,
because
the
Uniform
Manifest
also
established
a
set
of
11
optional
information
fields
on
the
form
that
States
could
select
from
in
establishing
their
state­
specific
versions
of
the
Uniform
Manifest,
there
still
remained
a
significant
amount
of
state
variability
and
resulting
burden
to
the
regulated
community.
As
of
2003,
23
states
have
developed
state­
specific
variations
of
the
RCRA
Uniform
Manifest,
and
these
formats
vary
insofar
as
the
optional
data
elements
that
must
be
completed
in
each
state,
as
well
as
the
instructions
and
procedures
to
be
followed
in
supplying
the
optional
data.

!
1990:
By
1990,
both
the
regulated
community
and
the
RCRA­
authorized
state
hazardous
waste
management
programs
demanded
a
more
rational
system
for
tracking
hazardous
waste
shipments
and
collecting
waste
management
data
using
the
RCRA
manifest.

Beginning
in
1990,
EPA,
DOT,
state
governments,
and
stakeholders
from
industry
and
environmental
groups
identified
and
defined
manifest
reform
proposals
as
part
of
a
negotiated
rulemaking
effort
(
National
Forum
on
Hazardous
Waste
Shipping
Information).

!
1995:
The
effort
came
to
closure
in
1995,
when
EPA
management
concluded
that
the
changes
recommended
during
the
negotiated
rulemaking
would
accomplish
standardization
only
by
adding
more
burden
to
the
form.

!
1997:
A
new
work
group
was
chartered
in
1997
to
try
again
to
make
real
efforts
aimed
at
streamlining
manifest
data
elements
and
varying
state
procedures,
and
to
incorporate
new
information
technologies
(
i.
e.
electronic
manifest
form
and
computerized
transmissions)
into
the
mix
of
possible
new
approaches
to
the
RCRA
manifest.
The
more
recent
manifest
reform
effort
led
by
OSW
made
significant
progress
in
both
manifest
form
streamlining
and
in
the
effort
to
develop
a
more
efficient
waste
tracking
system
using
electronic
technologies,
and
perhaps
to
enhance
protection
of
the
environment
and
human
health
by
electronic
tracking
of
hazardous
waste
shipments.

!
2001:
OSW
proposed
RCRA
manifest
revisions
on
22
May
2001
(
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
epaoswer/
hazwaste/
gener/
manifest/
mods.
htm).

Additional
information
about
these
earlier
attempts
at
reform
is
provided
in
the
Federal
Register
announcement
and
in
supporting
background
materials
for
the
May
2001
proposed
rule.
After
assessing
the
64
sets
of
public
comments
EPA
received
in
response
to
the
May
2001
proposed
rule
(
available
in
EPA
Docket
number
RCRA­
2001­
0032
at
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
edocket),
OSW
decided
to
separate
the
2001
proposed
manifest
form
changes
from
the
electronic
manifest
(
e­
manifest)
system
which
was
coproposed
in
that
same
2001
announcement,
because
there
were
relatively
fewer
controversial
issues
addressed
at
the
proposed
manifest
form
revisions,
as
well
as
significant
stakeholder
interest
expressed
in
finalizing
the
manifest
form
changes
as
soon
as
possible.

Displayed
in
the
table
below,
as
of
FY2004,
the
RCRA
manifest
system
which
is
inventoried
by
OMB
at
3.6
million
burden
hours
annually,
is
ranked
as
the
second
most
burdensome
in
annual
hours,
and
ninth
most
costly,
information
collection
requirement
imposed
on
EPA's
solid
and
hazardous
waste
regulated
community,
of
the
47
information
collection
programs
within
the
Office
of
Solid
Waste
&
Emergency
Response
(
OSWER;
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
oswer).
OSW's
two­
prong
effort
aimed
at
reducing
the
RCRA
manifest
burden
 
via
the
manifest
form
changes
and
the
e­
manifest
system
 
is
expected
to
reduce
this
burden
while
enabling
waste
shipments
to
be
tracked
more
efficiently
and
effectively.
EPA

Economic
Analysis

The
true
standardization
of
the
RCRA
manifest
form
data
elements
and
the
elimination
of
optional
data
elements,
are
essential
steps
in
the
manifest
reform
process,
and
are
a
precursor
to
the
establishment
of
the
e­
manifest
in
a
subsequent
regulatory
action
under
continued
formulation
and
refinement
as
of
2004
(
see
following
website
for
mid­
2004

on
the
e­
manifest
rule:

http://

e­
man.
htm).
The
continuing
need
for
these
revisions
to
the
RCRA
manifest
regulations
is
amply
demonstrated
by
the
high
level
of
support
expressed
by
both
members
of
the
regulated
community
that
must
comply
with
the
RCRA
manifest
requirements,
and
the
RCRA­
authorized
state
governments
that
oversee
the
daily
operation
of
the
RCRA
manifest
program
and
collect
completed
manifests.

MANIFEST
FORM
CONTENTS
(
DATA
FIELDS)
!
Option
A:
Standardize
the
form
by
eliminating
state
optional
datafields,
and
by
limiting
use
of
"
Special
Handling"
&

"
Additional
Description"
fields
to
narrowly
defined
purposes.
!
Option
B:
1990'
s
"
Renegotiated
Rulemaking"

recommendation
to
achieve
nation­
wide
uniformity
by
retaining
all
11
optional
fields
and
making
them
mandatory.

!
Option
C:
States
retain
some
discretion
(
e.
g.
1
or
2
optional
fields)
to
enter
additional
state­
specific
information
on
the
manifest,
beyond
state­
only
waste
codes
!
Modified
Options
A:

Eliminated
9
of
the
11
optional
fields,
and
made
the
remaining
two
datafields
(
wastecodes
&
handling
codes)
mandatory.

2.
MANIFEST
FORM
PRINTING
!
Option
A:
Adopt
a
new
approach
whereby
EPA
controls
manifest
printing
&

distribution
by:
(
1)
creating
an
EPA
registry
of
approved
manifest
form
printers,
(
2)
establishing
precise
EPA
printing
specs
for
the
manifest
form,
and
(
3)
assigning
unique
pre­
printed
tracking
numbers
on
manifests.
!
Option
B:
Retain
current
approach
with
states
printing
manifests
and
controlling
distribution
to
users.
State
governments
would
print
forms
adhering
to
EPA
specification,
but
would
continue
to
be
exclusive
source
for
forms.
State
forms
could
contain
state­
specific
instructions
for
copy
submission
and
for
state­
only
haz
wastes.

!
Option
B:
Allow
full
load
rejections
involving
same
transporter
that
attempted
delivery
to

!
Option
B1:
Do
not

form,

but
develop
a
distinct
new

!
Option
B2:
No
other
options
identified.

NEW
MANIFEST
FORM
(
FINAL
RULE)
IMPLEMENTATION
!
Option
A:
In
addition
to
the
normal
effective
date
of
RCRA
final
rules
(
i.
e.
six
months
post­
publication
in
the
Federal

the
proposed
rule
included
a
2­
year
"
delayed

for
phase­
in
of
the
new
manifest
form,
during
which
both
the
"
old"
and
the
"
new"
forms
could
be
used.
!
Option
B:
Same
2­
year
delayed
compliance
date
as
Option
A,
but
with
a
"
drop­
dead
date"
in
which
implementation
of
the
new
manifest
form
would
be
completely
delayed
until
two
years
after
the
final
rule's
effective
date.
!
Modified
Option
B:
18­

month
delayed
compliance
date
(
i.
e.
6­
month
normal
effective
date
+
12­
month
delayed
compliance),
during
which
only
"
old"
forms
may
be
used,
and
after
which
only
"

Affected
Facility
Type
Definitions
!
LQGs:
Most
RCRA
hazardous
waste
"
TSDFs"
may
also
be
classified
as
"
LQGs"
because
they
may
generate
waste
treatment
"
residuals"

(
i.
e.
"
derived­
from"
hazardous
wastes),
in
volumes
which
meet
or
exceed
the
"
LQG"
threshold.
RCRA
regulations
do
not
formally
define
"
LQGs".
However
RCRA
program
supporting
materials
and
other
RCRA
background
documents
define
"
LQG"
as
a
site
which
generates
1,000
kilograms
(
2,205
pounds)
or
more
of
hazardous
waste
in
a
calendar
month
(
i.
e.
>
12
tons/
year).

!
SQGs:
In
comparison,
RCRA
regulation
(
40
CFR
260.10)
classifies
sites
which
generate
less
than
2,205
pounds
of
RCRA
hazardous
waste
in
a
calendar
month
as
SQGs,
"
small
quantity
generators"
(
i.
e.
<
12
tons/
year).

!
TSDFs:
Facilities
which
treat,
store,
dispose
or
recycle
hazardous
waste
are
TSDFs
(
or
sometimes
TSDRFs):

!
Commercial
TSDFs:
Waste
management
capacity
is
available
to
generators
for
offsite
hazardous
waste
management
under
contractual
agreement;
may
receive
a
hazardous
waste
shipment
(
and
accompanying
RCRA
manifest)

from
another
company,
or
generate
a

(

assumed
that

(

by

and
that

This

!
State
governments:
OSW
initially
designed
the
RCRA
manifest
system
in
1984
to
impose
responsibility
(
and
associated
administrative
paperwork
burden)
on
each
individual
waste
handler
within
the
waste
transportation
chain
(
i.
e.
to
cover
hazardous
waste
lifespan
from
"
cradle­
to­
grave"),
originating
with
the
hazardous
waste
generator,
and
ending
with
the
TSDF
receiving
the
waste.
However,
based
on
OSW's
recent
consultations
with
State
government
hazardous
waste
management
personnel:

!
12
states:
Assess
a
printing
fee
to
waste
handlers
for
blank
RCRA
manifests
(
41%
of
annual
manifests).

!
23
states:
Have
instituted
their
own
versions
of
the
RCRA
manifest
form
which
meet
Federal
minimum
requirements,
and
print
blank
manifest
forms
(
69%
of
annual
manifests).

!
27
states:
Assess
fees
related
to
hazardous
waste
transport
(
including
12
states
which
assess
printing
fees).

!
34
states:
Collect
completed
manifests,
including
23
states
which
print
forms
(
76%
of
annual
manifests).

The
USEPA
does
not
print,
distribute,
or
collect
RCRA
manifest
forms.
As
of
2003
there
are
a
total
of
56
RCRArecognized
US
states/
territories
which
could
at
some
time
in
the
future
change
their
respective
levels
of
involvement
in
the
RCRA
manifest
system,
thereby
affecting
both
the
manifest
burden
baseline
to
state
governments
(
e.
g.
an
increase
beyond
34
states
collecting
completed
RCRA

would
increase
the
future
national
annual
manifest
baseline
burden),
and
affect
the
future
annual

of

(
e.
g.

additional

Incremental

Method
&
Paperwork
Burden
Data
References
OSW
estimated
the
annual
burden
impacts
to
hazardous
waste
handlers
under
the
revisions
to
the
RCRA
manifest
form,
by
first
estimating
the
annual
burden
under
the
baseline
(
current)
paper­
based
RCRA
manifest
system
(
inclusive
of
Federal
and
State
requirements).
OSW
then
estimated
the
annual
burden
and
associated
costs
under
the
revised
manifest
form.
Third,
OSW
compared
the
burden
and
costs
under
the
baseline
case
and
the
revised
manifest
form,
to
derive
an
estimate
of
the
incremental
changes
in
annual
national
burden
hours
and
costs.

The
economic
analysis
presented
in
this
document
largely
builds
upon
the
administrative
and
paperwork
burden
data
and
information
contained
within
the
following
OSW
"
Information
Collection
Request"
(
ICR)
supporting
documents,
which
provide
alternative
estimates
the
national
annual
paperwork
burden
hours
and
associated
labor
costs
to
RCRA
hazardous
waste
handlers
and
to
state
government
regulators,
in
carrying
out
USEPA­
required
RCRA
manifesting
activities
as
required
under
40
CFR
Parts
262,
263,
264,
and
265.

Although
displayed
in
the
table
below,
this
economic
analysis
does
not
use
the
ICR­
estimated
count
of
annual
manifests
because
this
analysis
includes
Federal
and
state­
regulated
hazardous
waste
manifests,
as
both
types
of
regulated
wastes
reportedly
use
the
same
EPA
manifest
form
for
shipment,
and
thus
both
waste
categories
are
expected
to
be
affected
by
the
manifest
form
revision
final
rule.

Explanatory
Note:

ICRs
have
a
legislative
history
dating
back
to
the
1942
Federal
Reports
Act,
which
required
that
the
Federal
government
collect
information
from
the
public,
with
a
minimum
burden
and
at
a
minimum
cost.
The
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1980
established
Office
of
Management
&
Budget
(
OMB)
responsibility
for
reviewing
every
Federal
agency's
information
management
activities
(
including
surveys,
forms,
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
involving
more
than
nine
persons),
to
meet
annual
paperwork
reduction
goals.
As
defined
by
Congress,
ICRs
which
involve
gathering
data
independent
of
a
rule
are
"
Information
Collection
Requests",
whereas
ICRs
associated
with
a
specific
regulation
(
proposed
or
final
rule)
are
"
Information
Collection
Requirements".
The
1980
PRA
was
amended
by
Congress
by
the
1995
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.

From
a
methodological
perspective,
it
is
important
to
note
that
OSW
developed
many
of
the
assumptions
and
data
for
the
impact
estimates
under
the
revised
manifest
form,
from
revised
manifest
form
burden
data
contained
in
ICR
Nrs.
801.#
and
801.15,
and
from
informal
consultations
with
a
small
sample
of
RCRA
hazardous
waste
handlers
and
States
with
RCRA
authorized
programs.
In
particular,
OSW
asked
them
to
estimate
the
burden
and
cost
savings
from
preparing
the
revised
RCRA
manifest
form,
as
well
as
the
other
final
rule
revisions
to
the
manifest
form.
OSW
conducted
consultations
with
nine
State
government
agencies
and
with
seven
RCRA
hazardous
waste
handlers
to
identify
tasks
and
burden
associated
with
RCRA
hazardous
waste
manifest
activities.

The
selection
of
subjects
in
the
survey
samples
involved
the
non­
probability
sampling
techniques.
Both
sample
groups
were
constrained
by
the
maximum
number
of
nine
entities
as
allowed
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995,
for
purpose
of
collecting
information
concerning
the
same
set
of
questions
by
Federal
agencies
in
support
of
research
and
rulemakings,
without
prior
review
and
approval
of
information
collection
studies
by
the
Office
of
Management
&
Budget.
The
16
total
number
of
entities
contacted
exceeds
nine,
because
USEPA
asked
each
sample
group
different
questions.

!
7
handlers:
Ultimately
received
responses
from
seven
of
nine
attempted
contacts
to
the
largest
hazardous
waste
generators
and
waste
handlers
in
the
US.
The
sample
of
generators
stratified
according
to
three
sub­
groups:
"
large",
"
medium"
and
"
small"
generators,
in
relation
to
the
RCRA
regulatory
benchmark
definition
of
"
small",
being
generation
of
less
than
1,000
kilograms
(
2,205
pounds)
of
hazardous
waste
in
any
calendar
month
(
40
CFR
260.10).

!
9

Targeted

of

according
to

it

that
a

shipped;
however,
there
is
no

of

Estimate
of
Potential
Impact
on
Employee
Manifest
Training
In
1984,
OSW
developed
the
RCRA
requirements
for
hazardous
waste
shipments
in
coordination
with
US
Department
of
Transportation
(
USDOT)

requirements,
and
RCRA
hazardous
waste
haulers
(
transporters)
are
subject
to
both
RCRA
and
USDOT
shipping
requirements,
as
applicable.

Consequently,
USDOT­
required
personnel
training
is
considered
part
of
the
RCRA
manifest
system
for
purposes
of
this
economic
analysis,
since
persons
preparing
RCRA
manifests
must
receive
introductory
and
biennial
recurring
training
on
how
to
complete
them
(
49
CFR
172.704).
Each
waste
handler
involved
in
manifest
preparation
provides
training
to
its
employees
in
manifest
preparation,
as
required
by
US
Department
of
Transportation
regulations
(
i.
e.
49
CFR
172.704
requires
that
each
hazmat
employee
must
receive
an
initial
training,
and
a
recurrent
training
at
least
once
every
two
years).
For
purposes
of
this
analysis,
§
172.704
requires
each
employee
involved
with
manifesting
at
waste
generator
sites,

waste
transporter
companies,
and
waste
TSDFs
to
receive
training
on
manifesting
procedures,
among
other
things.
The

Finalized
Option:
Under
the
baseline
RCRA
manifest
regulations,
hazardous
waste
exporters
(
i.
e.
shippers
transporting
hazardous
wastes
out
of
the
US
to
other
countries)
are
required
to
provide
a
copy
of
the
RCRA
export
manifest
to
US
Customs
at
the
pointof
departure.
However,
no
such
similar
(
symmetrical)
requirement
exists
for
hazardous
waste
imports.
The
revised
manifest
form
final
rule
requires
hazardous
waste
importer
TSDFs
to
mail
a
copy
of
the
RCRA
import
manifest
to
the
EPA's
Office
of
Enforcement
&
Compliance
Assurance
(

International
Enforcement
&
Compliance
Division
(
IECD);
http://

about/

The
following
table
estimates
$
0.21
to
$
0.32
million/
year
in
incremental
paperwork
burden
to
both
waste
importers
and
to
the
EPA
for
this
element
of
the
final
rule.

Proposed
Option:
Although
not
finalized,
the
May
2001
proposed
rule
contained
an
option
for
hazardous
waste
import
transporters
(
e.
g.

trucks
and
cargo
ships),
rather
than
import
receiving
TSDFs,
to
leave
a
copy
of
each
import
manifest
at
the
US
Customs
point­
of­
entry,
as
is
currently
required
for
exports,
and
for
US
Customs
then
to
mail
monthly
batches
of
import
manifests
received
to
EPA­
OECA.
In
comparison

contacted
Scott
Slesinger
of

to
confirm/
interpret
this
finding,
at
which
date
ETC
modified
the
estimate

six
TSDF
companies
because
of

80%

In
addition
to
revisions

OSW's

also
proposed
an
electronic
manifest
system.

Although
not
a
feature
in
OSW's
revised

form
final
rule,
it
is
conceivable
that
the
upper­
end
assumptions
in

are
too
high,
if
an
electronic
manifest
system
becomes
implemented
in
the
near
future
(
e.
g.
by
year
2005
or
2006),
thereby
eliminating
most
of
the
future
need
to
print
paper
manifest
forms
(
although
the
registry
could
conceivably
operate
under
an
electronic

for

Estimate
of
Fees
Charged
by
12
States
for
Blank
RCRA
Manifests
The
next
table
presents
an
estimate
of
$
1.16
to
$
2.44
million/
year
in
fees
charged
by
12
states
for
blank
RCRA
manifests
(
constituting
41%
of
annual
manifests),
representing
15%
to
33%
of
the
$
7.5
million/
year
in
hazardous
waste
transportation
fees
assessed
by
27
states
(
estimated
in
the
prior
table).
These
12
states
are
a
subset
of
the
23
states
which
print
blank
RCRA
manifests.
The
blank
manifest
fees
charged
by
the
12
states
range
from
$
0.17
to
$
3.00
per
manifest,
averaging
$
1.17
per
manifest.

In
comparison,
the
second
table
below
presents
OSW's
independent
estimate
of
$
0.48
to
$
1.95
million/
year
for
actual
printing
costs
to
the
23
states
which
print
blank
RCRA
manifests
(
constituting
69%
of
annual
national
manifests).
OSW's
estimate
of
the
annual
printing
cost
to
the
23
states
is
less
than
the
estimated
fees
charged
for
blank
manifests
by
the
12
states,
which
indicates
that
some
states
probably
charge
fees
in
excess
of
manifest
form
printing
costs
(
i.
e.
in
excess
of
cost
recovery).

In
terms
of
potential
regulatory
impact,
the
fees
currently
charged
by
12
states
for
blank
manifests
are
not
necessarily
eliminated
by
the
revised
manifest
final
rule,
because
affected
states
may
change
the
way
they
assess
hazardous
waste
transportation
fees,
to
offset
the
lost
opportunity
of
selling
blank
RCRA
manifest
forms.

Special
Procedures
for

&
Non­

Waste
Containers
The
current
Federal
manifest
system
does
not
include
explicit
procedures
for
manifesting
non­
empty
hazardous
waste
shipment
containers
or
rejected
hazardous
waste
shipment
loads.
Because
existing
Federal
RCRA
regulatory
provisions
allow
for
reporting
of
"
significant
discrepancies"

such
as
differences
in
waste
quantities
and
waste
types,
but
do
not
address
non­
empty
containers
and
rejected
loads,
the
incremental
burden
for
the
revised
regulations
concerning
these
special
cases
is
included
in
this
document
as
an
impact
element,
relative
to
the
current
"
states
interim
policy"
regulatory
practice
baseline,
rather
than
relative
to
the
Federal
RCRA
manifest
regulatory
baseline.

For
this
component
of
the
manifest
form
revisions,
the
revised
manifest
form
includes
a
check
box
for
waste
handlers
to
indicate
whether
they
are
originating
a
non­
empty
container
or
rejected
waste
load.
In
addition,
a
waste
handler
may
be
required
to
prepare
an
entirely
new
(
second)
manifest
for
subsequent
shipment
of
partially
rejected
loads
back
to
the
generator
or
to
an
alternate
designated
TSDF.
If
the
waste
handler
must
prepare
a
new
manifest
to
replace
one
(
or
more)
manifests
that
had
previously
accompanied
that
hazardous
waste
shipment,
the
component
would
require
reference
to
the
previous
manifest's
document
number
on
the
new
manifest.
These
procedures
would
assist
in
creating
a
paper­
trail
for
waste
shipments
that
require
additional
management
by
another
facility,
thereby
strengthening
the
manifest
system's
ability
to
track
shipments
"
cradle­
to­
grave".
The
two
types
of
shipments
affected
by
this
component
are
described
below.

Hazardous
Waste
Irregular
Shipments
Affected
by
the
Revisions
to
the
RCRA
Manifest
Form
Shipment
Type
Description
Rejected
Waste
Loads
Rejected
loads
are
shipments
of
hazardous
waste
that
are
either
totally
or
partially
rejected
by
the
designated
TSDF.

Non­
Empty
Waste
Containers
(
residues)
Under
40
CFR
261.7,
USEPA
defines
an
"
empty"
container
when:

!
All
wastes
have
been
removed
that
can
be
removed
using
the
practices
commonly
employed
to
remove
material
from
the
type
of
container,
and
!
The
residue
in
the
container
is
no
more
than
2.5
centimeters
on
the
bottom
of
the
container,
or
is
no
more
than
3%
by
weight
of
the
total
capacity
of
the
containers,
or
is
no
more
than
0.3%
by
weight
of
the
total
capacity
of
the
tank
or
car.
(
This
assumes
a
container
larger
than
110
gallons
in
size.)

RCRA
regulated
hazardous
wastes
are
sometimes
delivered
to
TSDFs
in
a
tank
car
or
tank
truck.
The
waste
is
pumped
out
of
the
tanker,
but
some
unpumpable
residue,
known
as
"
heel,"
remains
in
the
tanker.
This
has
led
to
confusion
among
States
and
the
regulated
community
regarding
how
to
deal
with
container
residues
in
these
"
non­
empty"

containers.*

*
USEPA
Office
of
Solid
Waste,
Draft
Discussion
Paper:
"
Manifest
Regulatory
Issues
That
Require
Clarification,"
March
1991.

OSW
believes
that
many
States
are
currently
following
an
interim
policy
that
requires
TSDFs
to
prepare
a
new
manifest
for
container
residues
or
shipments
that
are
partially
rejected.
In
addition,
State
interim
policies
also
require
TSDFs
to
use
the
original
manifest
with
a
continuation
sheet
to
re­
route
a
shipment
that
is
fully
rejected.
Thus,
under
the
final
rule
special
procedures
for
rejected
waste
shipments
and
non­
empty
containers,

TSDFs
are
not
expected
to
incur
incremental
paperwork
burden
for
rejected
waste
shipments
and
non­
empty
containers,

to

In

the

rate
applied
in

represents
the
scenario
where
the

procedures
may
induce
additional

the

bound
in
