Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 29, 2020 / Notices 85633 

C. Purpose of the e-Manifest Advisory 

Board 

The Hazardous Waste Electronic 

Manifest System Advisory Board is 

established in accordance with the 

provisions of the Hazardous Waste 

Electronic Manifest Establishment Act, 

42 U.S.C. 6939g, and the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C. App.2. The e-Manifest Advisory 

Board is in the public interest and 

supports the EPA in performing its 

duties and responsibilities. The Board 

shall meet annually to discuss, evaluate 

the effectiveness of, and provide 

recommendations about the system to 

the EPA Administrator. 

The sole duty of the Advisory Board 

is to provide advice and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator. As required by the eManifest Act, the e-Manifest Advisory 

Board is composed of nine (9) members. 

One (1) member is the EPA 

Administrator (or a designee), who 

serves as Chairperson of the Advisory 

Board. The rest of the committee is 

composed of: 

• At least two (2) members who have 

expertise in information technology; 

• At least three (3) members who 

have experience in using or represent 

users of the manifest system to track the 

transportation of hazardous waste under 

the e-Manifest Act; 

• At least three (3) members who are 

state representatives responsible for 

processing manifests. 

All members of the e-Manifest 

Advisory Board, except for the EPA 

Administrator, are appointed as Special 

Government Employees or 

Representatives. 

D. Public Meeting 

EPA launched the e-Manifest system 

on June 30, 2018. e-Manifest provides 

those persons required to use a Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

manifest under either federal or state 

law the option of using electronic 

manifests to track shipments of 

hazardous waste and to meet certain 

RCRA requirements. By enabling the 

transition from a paper-intensive 

process to an electronic system, EPA 

estimates e-Manifest will ultimately 

save state and industry users more than 

$50 million annually, once electronic 

manifests are widely adopted. 

Under the Hazardous Waste 

Electronic Manifest Establishment Act 

(e-Manifest Act) of 2012, EPA must 

collect user fees to offset the costs of 

developing and operating the e-Manifest 

system. In January 2018, EPA published 

regulations establishing the 

methodology which the Agency will use 

to set and collect user fees for the eManifest system. Under the final rule, 

EPA charges a fee to receiving facilities 

for each manifest submitted to EPA’s eManifest system. User fees are tailored 

to the method used to submit manifests 

to EPA, e.g., different fees apply for 

electronic manifests than for paper 

manifests uploaded to the system. In 

addition, EPA is required to publish 

revised user fee schedules at two-year 

intervals. 

The purpose of this March 2–4, 2021, 

e-Manifest Advisory Board meeting is 

for the Board to advise EPA on its 

proposed program priorities and user 

fees for the FY2022/FY2023 cycle. 

E. e-Manifest Advisory Board 

Documents and Meeting Minutes 

The meeting background paper along 

with related supporting materials 

including the charge/questions to the 

Advisory Board, the Advisory Board 

membership roster (i.e., members 

attending this meeting), and the meeting 

agenda will be available by 

approximately mid-January 2021. In 

addition, EPA may provide additional 

background documents as the materials 

become available. You may obtain 

electronic copies of these documents, 

and certain other related documents that 

might be available at http://

www.regulations.gov via the docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OLEM–2020–0571 

and at the e-Manifest Advisory Board 

website at: https://www.epa.gov/emanifest/hazardous-waste-electronicmanifest-system-e-manifest-advisoryboard. 

The e-Manifest Advisory Board will 

prepare meeting minutes summarizing 

its recommendations to EPA 

approximately ninety (90) days after the 

meeting. The meeting minutes will be 

posted on the e-Manifest Advisory 

Board website, or they may be obtained 

from the public docket at http://

www.regulations.gov via the docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OLEM-2020–0571.
