Abstract: The "Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act" was signed into law by the President on October 5, 2012, which established the authority to collect fees, as well as the development of an electronic submission system. This ICR covers EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulatory standards and procedures that will govern the initiation, signing, transmittal and retention of hazardous waste manifests using electronic documents and systems. Use of the electronic system is optional, so the ICR also covers the paper-based process.
