How will the final import revision change the documentation requirements for US importers and receiving facilities?
We are amending the hazardous waste import related requirements in ยงยง 264.71(a)(3) and 265.71(a)(3) to require US treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDFs) to submit to EPA a matched set of the EPA-provided import consent documentation and the RCRA hazardous waste manifest for each import shipment within thirty (30) days of delivery. Ultimately it was decided that this provided a more predictable and streamlined approach to tracking waste imports than working through the importers, as proposed.
