Abstract: Owners and operators of a 

primary copper smelter are subject to 

the regulation only if it is a major source 

of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 

emitting or has the potential to emit any 

single HAP at the rate of 10 tons or more 

per year or any combination of HAP at 

a rate of 25 tons or more per year. New 

facilities include those that commenced 

construction or reconstruction after the 

date of proposal. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQ. 

These notifications, reports, and records 

are essential in determining compliance, 

and are required of all affected facilities 

subject to NESHAP. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of primary copper 

smelter. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, Subpart 

QQQ). 

Estimated number of respondents: 3 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly, and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 9,380 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $926,544 (per 

year), includes $8,220 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 543 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This change in hours is due to the 

removal of burden for submitting initial 

notifications, which is not required for 

existing sources and the addition of 

managerial and clerical staff that are 

now involved in recordkeeping 

activities.

The Hazardous Waste Electronic 

Manifest System Advisory Board: 

Request for Nominations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for nominations. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations of qualified candidates to

Protection Agency, Office of Resource 

Conservation and Recovery, (MC:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The eManifest Act was signed into law on 

October 5, 2012 (http://www.gpo.gov/

fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112s710enr/pdf/BILLS112s710enr.pdf). Under the terms of the 

e-Manifest Act, the EPA is required to 

establish a national electronic 

Information Technology (IT) manifest 

system. This system is to enable users 

of the uniform hazardous waste 

manifest forms (EPA Form 8700–22 and 

Continuation Sheet 8700–22A) to have 

the option to more efficiently track their 

hazardous waste shipments 

electronically, in lieu of the paper 

manifest, from the point of generation, 

during transportation, and to the point 

of receipt by an off-site facility that is 

permitted to treat, store, recycle, or 

dispose of the hazardous waste. 

Electronic manifests obtained from the 

national system will augment or replace 

the paper forms that are currently used 

for this purpose, and which result in 

substantial paperwork costs and other 

inefficiencies. Congress intended that 

the EPA develop a system that, among 

other things, meets the needs of the user 

community and decreases the 

administrative burden associated with 

the current paper-based manifest system 

on the user community. The agency 

anticipates that utilizing electronic 

manifests will reduce burden by 

reporting facilities by 300,000 to 

700,000 hours annually, and will save 

approximately $75 million dollars. To 

ensure that these goals are met, the Act 

directs the EPA to establish the 

Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest 

System Advisory Board (the Board) by 

October 5, 2015 to assess the 

effectiveness of the electronic manifest 

system and make recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator for improving 

the system. 

In addition, the e-Manifest Act directs 

the EPA to develop a system that 

attracts sufficient user participation and 

service revenues to ensure the viability 

of the system. As a result, the Act 

provides the EPA broad discretion to 

establish reasonable user fees, as the 

Administrator determines are necessary, 

to pay costs incurred in developing, 

operating, maintaining, and upgrading 

the system, including any costs incurred 

in collecting and processing data from 

any paper manifest submitted to the 

system after the date on which the 

system enters operation. The Board will 

also meet to assess the adequacy and 

reasonableness of the service fees and, 

if necessary, make recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator to adjust the fees 

accordingly. 

Prior to system deployment the Board 

will be asked to provide 

recommendations on important system 

development matters, as well as on user 

fee regulatory proposals under 

consideration. Substantial system 

development planning work is under 

completion and the agency is currently 

conducting additional system 

development procurement activities. 

Upon completion of those activities the 

agency will launch into extensive 

system design, development, and 

testing, and anticipates the initial 

system deployment to occur no later 

than spring 2018. 

The system will provide the 

functionality of the current paper 

manifest process, in a more efficient, 

electronic workflow, and will meet all 

requirements specified in the e-Manifest 

Act and e-Manifest Final Rule, which 

was published on February 7, 2014 

(http://www.epa.gov/osw/laws-regs/

state/revision/frs/fr231.pdf). The initial 

system is envisioned to be a national, 

electronic system (internet-based) that 

will enable current users of the manifest 

form to sign, transmit, archive, and 

retrieve manifests electronically. The eManifest system is further envisioned to 

allow a fully electronic mobile 

workflow. The mobile workflow will 

provide both on-line and off-line 

capabilities which could enable users to 

complete an electronic manifest even 

when internet access is unavailable. The 

EPA envisions that the system will 

provide all data processing (paper and 

electronic formats), data storage, and 

data reporting back out to industry and 

state users, as well as appropriate public 

accessibility of data. Finally, e-Manifest 

aligns with the agency’s E-Enterprise 

business strategy. E-Enterprise for the 

Environment is a transformative 21st 

century strategy—jointly governed by 

states and EPA—for modernizing 

government agencies’ delivery of 

environmental protection. Under this 

strategy, the agency will streamline its 

business processes and systems to 

reduce reporting burden on states and 

regulated facilities, and improve the 

effectiveness and efficiency of 

regulatory programs for the EPA, states 

and tribes. 

Although the system has not been 

completed, the Board is established in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest 

Establishment Act, 42 U.S.C. 6939(g), 

and the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App.2. The Board 

is in the public interest and supports the 

EPA in performing its duties and 

responsibilities. Pursuant to the eManifest Act, the Board will be 

comprised of nine members, of which 

one (1) member is the Administrator (or 

a designee), who will serve as 

Chairperson of the Board, and eight (8) 

members will be individuals appointed 

by the EPA Administrator: 

—At least two (2) of whom have 

expertise in information technology; 

(IT); 

—At least three (3) of whom have 

experience in using, or represent users 

of, the manifest system to track the 

transportation of hazardous waste under 

federal and state manifest programs; and 

—At least three (3) state 

representatives responsible for 

processing those manifests. 

The Board will meet at least annually 

as required by the e-Manifest Act. 

However, additional meetings by 

teleconference may occur approximately 

once every six (6) months or as needed 

and approved by the Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO). 

Member Nominations: Pursuant to the 

e-Manifest Act, the Board will assist the 

agency in evaluating the effectiveness of 

the e-Manifest IT system and associated 

user fees; identifying key issues 

associated with the system, including 

the need (and timing) for user fee 

adjustments; system enhancements; and 

providing independent advice on 

matters and policies related to the eManifest program. The e-Manifest Board 

will provide recommendations on 

matters related to the operational 

activities, functions, policies, and 

regulations of the EPA under the eManifest Act, including proposing 

actions to encourage the use of the 

electronic (paperless) system, and 

actions related to the E-Enterprise

strategy that intersect with e-Manifest. 

These intersections may include issues 

such as business to business 

communications, performance 

standards for mobile devices, and Cross 

Media Electronic Reporting Rule 

(CROMERR) compliant e-signatures. 

Any interested person and/or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals for membership. The EPA 

values and welcomes diversity. In an 

effort to obtain nominations of diverse 

candidates, the agency encourages 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups. All 

nominations will be considered. 

However, applicants need to be aware of 

the specific representation required by 

the e-Manifest Act. 

Further, state and industry nominees 

should have a comprehensive 

knowledge of hazardous waste 

generation, transportation, treatment, 

storage, and disposal under RCRA 

Subtitle C at the federal, state, and local 

levels. Nominees who represent the 

states, should have comprehensive 

knowledge of state programs that 

currently collect manifests from 

generators and treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities (TSDFs), and track 

manifest data in state tracking systems/ 

databases. Nominees who represent 

industry should have strong knowledge 

of existing industry systems/devices/

approaches and business operations in 

order to provide valuable input on eManifest integration into current 

industry data systems. IT nominees 

should have core competencies and 

experience in large scale systems and 

application development and 

integration, deployment and 

maintenance, user help desk and 

support, and expertise relevant to 

support the complexity of an e-Manifest 

system. Examples of this expertise may 

include but are not limited to: Expertise 

with web-based and mobile 

technologies, particularly that support 

large scale operations for geographically 

diverse users; expertise in IT security, 

including perspective on federal IT 

security requirements; expertise in 

electronic signature and user 

management approaches; expertise with 

scalable hosting solutions such as 

cloud-based hosting; and expertise in 

user experience. Existing knowledge of, 

or willingness to gain an understanding 

of EPA shared services and enterprise 

architecture is a plus. Another plus for 

any nominee is experience in setting 

and/or managing fee based systems in 

general. Additional criteria used to 

evaluate nominees will include: 

• Excellent interpersonal, oral and 

written communication skills; 

• Demonstrated experience 

developing group recommendations; 

• Willingness to commit time to the 

Board and demonstrated ability to work 

constructively on committees; 

• Absence of financial conflicts of 

interest; 

• Impartiality (including the 

appearance of impartiality); and 

• Background and experiences that 

would help members contribute to the 

diversity of perspectives on the Board, 

e.g., geographic, economic, social, 

cultural, educational backgrounds, 

professional affiliations and other 

considerations. 

Nominations must include a resume, 

which provides the nominee’s 

background, experience and educational 

qualifications, as well as a brief 

statement (one page or less) describing 

the nominee’s interest in serving on the 

Board and addressing the other criteria 

previously described. Nominees are 

encouraged to provide any additional 

information that they feel would be 

useful for consideration, such as: 

Availability to participate as a member 

of the Board; how the nominee’s 

background, skills and experience 

would contribute to the diversity of the 

Board; and any concerns the nominee 

has regarding membership. Nominees 

should be identified by name, 

occupation, position, current business 

address, email, and telephone number. 

Interested candidates may selfnominate. The agency will acknowledge 

receipt of nominations. 

Persons selected for membership will 

receive compensation for travel and a 

nominal daily compensation (if 

appropriate) while attending meetings. 

Additionally, selected candidates will 

be designated as Special Government 

Employees (SGEs) or consultants. 

Candidates designated as SGEs will be 

required to fill out the ‘‘Confidential 

Financial Disclosure Form for 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Special Government Employees’’ (EPA 

Form 3310–48). This confidential form 

provides information to the EPA ethics 

officials to determine whether there is a 

conflict between the SGE’s public duties 

and their private interests, including an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality as 

defined by federal laws and regulations. 

One example of a potential conflict of 

interest may be for IT professional(s) 

serving in an organization which is 

awarded any related e-Manifest system 

development contract(s).
