EPA is proposing to clarify that PCB waste in United States' territories and possessions outside the customs territory of the United States may be returned to the U.S. Customs Territory for proper disposal. This proposed rule interprets the prohibition on the manufacture of PCBs at Section 6(e) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to allow the movement of PCB waste among any States of the United States for the purpose of disposal, and that such movement is not considered "import." This interpretation will allow U.S. territories and possessions which fall outside of the definition of "customs territory of the United States" to dispose of their PCB waste in the mainland of the United States where facilities are available that can properly dispose of PCB waste. Thus, this rule would ensure that a safe and viable mechanism exists for the protection of health and the environment for those citizens in areas of the United States where facilities are not available for the proper management and disposal of PCB waste.
