Announcement of Requirements 

Gathering Meetings for the Electronic 

Manifest (e-Manifest) System 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public meetings. 

SUMMARY: EPA’s Office of Resource 

Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) is 

holding public meetings in Arlington, 

Virginia; Chicago, Illinois; and Denver, 

Colorado to discuss and obtain public 

input from stakeholders on a national 

electronic manifest (‘‘e-Manifest’’) 

system to capture information regarding 

the shipment of hazardous waste from 

the time it leaves the generator facility 

where it was produced, until it reaches 

the off-site waste management facility 

that will store, treat, or dispose of the 

hazardous waste. Specifically, the 

purpose of these meetings is to engage 

the states, industry, communities, nongovernmental organizations, and other 

stakeholders on what expectations and 

technical requirements EPA should 

consider as the agency begins the 

planning stage of the e-Manifest system 

development process. EPA envisions 

that e-Manifest will facilitate the 

electronic transmittal of manifests 

throughout the hazardous waste 

shipping process, including enabling 

better transparency by sharing data with 

the public at appropriate stages. Each 

meeting will be approximately one and 

one-half days. In order to meet the goals 

of the meetings, we encourage meeting 

participants from a variety of 

professional backgrounds to attend, 

such as state governmental staff, 

hazardous waste handlers (generators, 

transporters, waste management firms) 

staff, and each of their information 

technology (IT) staff. EPA will use

II. Historical Background on e-Manifest 

Project 

For more than a decade, EPA, states, 

industry, and other stakeholders have 

sought to transform the hazardous waste 

manifest system from its current paperbased approach to one that takes greater 

advantage of electronic information 

technologies. On May 22, 2001, EPA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking that, among other things, 

proposed revisions to the Federal 

manifest program aimed at adopting an 

electronic manifesting approach that 

would allow waste shipments to be 

tracked electronically, thereby 

mitigating the burdens and 

inefficiencies associated with the use of 

paper manifest forms (66 FR 28240). 

Although comments generally 

supported an electronic tracking 

scheme, several significant issues were 

raised that necessitated further analysis 

and stakeholder outreach prior to 

adopting a final e-Manifest regulation. 

As a result, EPA’s ORCR held a twoday public meeting on May 19–20, 2004 

to discuss and obtain public input on 

how best to proceed with the e-Manifest 

project. During the meeting, 

stakeholders—including States and the 

hazardous waste management 

industry—expressed a strong interest in 

a uniform national approach to 

developing an e-Manifest system that 

would consistently and securely 

generate and process electronic 

manifests. Moreover, members of 

industry who use the manifest indicated 

that they would be willing to help pay 

the costs of such a system, perhaps 

through the assessment of reasonable 

service fees or by a similar ‘‘user pays’’ 

approach. 

In April 2006, EPA published a 

follow-up notice to request comment on 

its preferred approach for electronically 

completing and transmitting manifests 

through a national, centralized eManifest system (71 FR 19842). The 

public notice also explained that EPA 

intended to establish and maintain an eManifest system by imposing service 

fees as a means to fund an information 

technology contract to build and operate 

the e-Manifest system. Finally, the 

notice explained that EPA’s ability to 

proceed with the development of the 

national e-Manifest system was 

contingent upon the enactment of new 

legislation. This legislation would 

establish EPA’s authority to enter into a 

contract with one or more IT vendors 

and would provide that the contract 

would be funded by the e-Manifest 

service fees. EPA would use these fees 

for payment of e-Manifest system costs. 

On November 19 and 20, 2008, EPA’s 

ORCR held a two-day public meeting in 

Arlington, VA to begin discussions with 

state and industry representatives 

concerning the goals, requirements, and 

criteria needed for the development of 

an IT system that would support the eManifest and would provide effective 

implementation of the hazardous waste 

manifest program. Following the 2008 

public meeting, EPA’s ORCR held a 

series of webinars with participants to 

discuss various topics addressed during 

the public meeting but which required 

further input. The webinars took place 

between April and June of 2009. 

On October 5, 2012, the Hazardous 

Waste Electronic Manifest 

Establishment Act (‘‘the Act’’) was 

signed into law by the President. The 

Act authorizes EPA to establish and 

implement an electronic manifest (eVerDate Mar<15>2010 16:13 Feb 19, 2013 Jkt 229001 PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\20FEN1.SGM 20FEN1

Manifest) system in partnership with 

industry and states by 2015. The Act 

also requires EPA to adopt an e-Manifest 

regulation authorizing e-Manifests that 

are created and transmitted through the 

use of the e-Manifest system by October 

5, 2013. The e-Manifests will be deemed 

as the legal equivalent to Uniform 

Hazardous Waste Paper Manifest Form 

and Continuation Sheet (EPA Form 

8700–22 and 8700–22a). The scope of eManifest will extend to all federally and 

state regulated wastes that require a 

manifest; use of e-Manifest, however, is 

optional to users. Although the Act 

states use of e-Manifest is optional, the 

Act authorizes EPA to collect eManifests and paper manifests in the 

system. Therefore, EPA intends to 

collect all manifests, both electronic and 

paper formats, in the system. For further 

information regarding the Hazardous 

Waste Electronic Manifest Act and the 

e-Manifest project in general, please 

refer to the following EPA Web site: 

http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/ 

transportation/manifest/e-man.htm. 

III. Current Activities on e-Manifest 

Project 

Pursuant to the Act, EPA has begun 

its initial planning phase to begin the 

development and ultimately the 

deployment of the e-Manifest system by 

2015. The purpose of the three face-toface requirements gathering meetings is 

to continue with efforts conducted 

during previous public meetings and 

webinars by engaging stakeholders on 

current expectations and technical 

requirements for the e-Manifest system. 

The goals of the meetings will be to 

obtain input from future users as to their 

needs and the capability of the IT 

system to address performance 

standards for the success of an eManifest system. Additionally, EPA will 

be gathering input from stakeholders on 

what technical requirements or tools the 

agency should consider to ensure that it 

also establishes an IT reporting system 

that will enhance access to the data 

(including to states and the general 

public). 

The topics of discussions at these 

meetings will cover the following 

functional requirements: 

• e-Manifest workflow, including 

mobile field component and handler 

submission; 

• e-Manifest business rule processing; 

• Electronic signature (e-signature) 

and Cross-Media Electronic Reporting 

Regulation (CROMERR) conformance; 

• Paper manifest processing; 

• Data access and reporting; 

• State data consumption and 

interaction; 

• Data QA; and 

• User administration and security. 

EPA is currently determining the 

actual format and agenda for the 

meetings. It anticipates that each of the 

meetings will have a similar agenda, 

which will further our intent to provide 

multiple opportunities for stakeholder 

participation. Therefore, it is only 

necessary for participants to attend one 

of the three meetings. 

All up to date information, including 

advanced copies of meeting materials 

and meeting logistics, is available on 

our Web site: http://www.epa.gov/osw/ 

hazard/transportation/manifest/eman.htm. 

EPA will use stakeholder input 

gathered during these meetings to 

finalize the e-Manifest requirements and 

prepare for eventual system 

development.
