EPA Standardizes Hazardous Waste Manifest Form
The U.S. EPA has established a nationally standardized manifest form to improve the tracking of hazardous waste shipments. The national form replaced the various federal and state forms previously in use on September 5, 2006. Among other benefits, the new manifest form enhances reporting of international waste shipments (exports and imports) by identifying the port of entry/exit.
EPA is also considering the implementation of an electronic manifest system and use of radio frequency identification (RFID). For more information see Hazardous Waste Manifest System.
