# • RCRAREVISION CHECKUST 31 Exports of Hazardous Waste 51 FR 28664-28686

August 8, 1986 (HSWA Cluster I) Special notes: 1) States cannot assume the authorityfor the following aspects of regulating hazardous waste exports: a) receive notifications of intent to export, b) transmit information, regarding intent to export.to foreign countries through the Department of State, and c) transmit acknowledgement of consent to the exporter. EPA feels that foreign policy interests and exporters' interest in expeditious processing are better served by the Agency retaining these functions. The Department of Statewould have only a single point of contact in administering the export program, allowing for uniformity and expeditioustransmission of information between the**Un~ed** 

### States and foreign countries. For a discussion of these issues, see 51 FR 28678, August 8, 1986. I 

### These restrictions on State Authority have implications when a state adoptsthe 40 CFR 262.50 through 262.57 provisions. Complete guidance may be found in Appendix J. Briefly:
•

__"EPA," "Agency" and Administrator,· should remain and should not be substituted with the State's analogous terms.
• "EPAAcknowledgement of Consent," should remain "EPAAcknowledgement of Consent." 

# • 

# • At 40 CFR 262.53(b), 262.54(g)(1), 262.55 and 262.56(a)&(b)-the notification of intent to export, notification of a change in the original consignee, exception reports and the annual exporter reports must be sent to the specified office within EPA. The State can request that copies also be sent to it.
• At 40 CFR 262.54(i) and**263.20(g)(4)~** 

### a copy ofthe manifest must be delivered tothe U.S. customs official at the point the hazardous materials leaves the U.S. States can request a copy.
• At 264.12(a), the notification must be sent to the EPA Regional Administrator. (Note, this provision is not addressed by Revision Checklist 31.) 2) Hazardous wastes, identified or listed by the State as part of its authorized program which are broader in scope (not in the Federal universe), are not SUbject to the export regulations. 3) EPA moved the farmer exemption from §262.50 to §262.70 in this checklist. However, the Agency failed to modify a number of other sections in the CFR which refer to the farmer exemption by section. This is subsequently corrected in Revision Checklist 48 (53 FR 27164,July 19,**1~88).** 

### States are encouraged to simultaneously modify their code to reflect both the modification of the farmer exemption addressed by this checklist and the technical corrections addressed in Checklist 48.
