Title: Hazardous Waste Manifest Regulation
Abstract: The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (Form 8700-22) is a multi-copy form used to identify the quantity, composition, origin, routing, and destination of hazardous waste during its transportation. The manifest system's current reliance on paper results in significant paperwork and cost burden to waste handlers and States who choose to collect manifest information. The Agency intends to pursue an optional approach that would use information technologies to conduct the manifest process electronically, thereby reducing paperwork burden, and improving the speed and accuracy of preparing, transmitting, and recordkeeping the manifest form. In addition, the Agency intends to standardize further the manifest form elements, and to specify one format for the manifest that may be used in all states. The Agency also intends to announce standard requirements for tracking rejected wastes, container residues, and international shipments of hazardous wastes.
