        <RULE_TITLE>Requirements for Transboundary Shipments of Wastes, Export Shipments of Spent Lead-Acid Batteries, Submitting Exception Reports for Export Shipments of Hazardous Wastes, and Imports of Hazardous Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Agency revised the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulation regarding the transboundary movement of hazardous waste among countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), as specified in 40 CFR part 262, subpart H, to implement revisions that the OECD made to both its framework for hazardous waste transboundary movements between Member countries and to its waste lists. The revisions were adopted by the OECD to create a more streamlined, uniform system for exports and imports, resulting in a more efficient international recycling market and increased recycling among the Member countries. In addition to the OECD amendments, the Agency amended the regulations under RCRA regarding the transboundary movements of spent lead-acid batteries being reclaimed, as specified in 40 CFR part 266, subpart G, to require appropriate notice and consent for those batteries intended for export/reclamation. EPA amended the current regulations in the interest of harmonizing them with both the amendments adopted by the OECD in 2001 and EPA's existing export requirements for RCRA Universal Waste.]]></ABSTRACT>
