This 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 most PCB waste among any States of the United States for the purpose of disposal because such movement is not considered "import" for purposes of the definition of "manufacture" as that term is used in TSCA section 6(e)(3).

EPA is amending its rules in order to clarify that PCB waste in U.S. territories and possessions outside the customs territory of the United States may be moved to the customs territory of the United States for proper disposal. This 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 most PCB waste among any States of the United States for the purpose of disposal because such movement is not considered "import" for purposes of the definition of "manufacture" as that term is used in TSCA section 6(e)(3). 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. Because disposal of these wastes may occur only at approved facilities, no unreasonable risks to health or the environment on the mainland United States should be created by this rule.
