Specifically, EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) has made significant progress on the e-Manifest project since the publication of the April 18, 2006 public notice, which announced and requested comment on our intention to develop a centralized web- based information technology (IT) system that would be hosted on EPA's IT architecture. However, a few issues raised by commenters in response to the April 2006 public notice require further analysis on our part, as we make decisions concerning the e-Manifest system. We received strong support in response to the April 2006 public notice to establish a national web-based system funded through user- fees. In addition, commenters generally supported our position that use of e-Manifests should be at the election of the users rather than mandatory. However, some commenters expressed concern that an optional system would create dual paper and electronic systems. Furthermore, industry and state comments in response to our position to allow confidential business information (CBI) claims for e-Manifests differed. Therefore, as explained in this notice, we are soliciting additional comment on EPA's position on these two issues. We remain committed to finalizing a federal regulation, once the necessary legislation is enacted, that will authorize the regulated community to use electronic manifests as the legal equivalent of paper manifests, and will consider the comments received on this notice, as well as other comments received from previous actions, before we make a final decision. 73 FR 10204 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2008-02-26/E8-3615 E8-3615 fr26fe08-21 RIN 2050-AG20 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-RCRA-2001-0032 FRL-8534-1 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2008-02-26/E8-3615 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-02-26/html/E8-3615.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-02-26/pdf/E8-3615.pdf 7 p. 10204 10210 73 FR 10204 Title 40 Part 260 40 CFR Part 260 Title 40 Part 261 40 CFR Part 261 Title 40 Part 262 40 CFR Part 262 Title 40 Part 263 40 CFR Part 263 Title 40 Part 264 40 CFR Part 264 Title 40 Part 265 40 CFR Part 265 Title 40 Part 271 40 CFR Part 271 RIN 2050-AG20 Hazardous Waste Management System; Modification of the Hazardous Waste Manifest System; Federal Register Vol. 73, Issue PRORULE E8-3615 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2008-04-11 EPA-HQ-RCRA-2001-0032 FRL-8534-1 6560-50-P E8-3615 Notice of data availability and request for comment.
