OMB 2050-0222

Recognizing that the evolving COVID-19 public health emergency may result in potential worker shortages and that social distancing restrictions to limit the spread of COVID-19 may impede normal operations of regulated facilities and laboratories, on March 26, 2020, the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) issued a memorandum entitled COVID-19 Implications for EPAs Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Program (Temporary COVID-19 Enforcement Policy), a temporary policy regarding enforcement of environmental obligations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) during this time. The policy also notes that EPA may provide additional enforcement guidance applicable to specific programs on an ongoing basis. Office of Land and Emergency Management (OLEM) and OECA are issuing additional policy to provide guidance with respect to generator signatures on paper hazardous waste manifests under RCRA resulting from the COVID-19 public health emergency. This policy supplements and incorporates by reference the Temporary COVID-19 Enforcement Policy.
