Hazardous Waste Manifest Printing 

Specifications Correction Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking Direct Final 

action on a minor change to the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) hazardous waste manifest 

regulations that affects those entities 

that print the hazardous waste manifest 

form in accordance with EPA’s Federal 

printing specifications. Specifically, this 

action amends the current printing 

specification regulation to indicate that 

red ink, as well as other distinct colors, 

or other methods to distinguish the copy 

distribution notations from the rest of 

the printed form and data entries are 

permissible. This change will afford 

authorized manifest form printers 

greater flexibility in complying with the 

Federal printing specifications. 

DATES: This Direct Final Rule is 

effective on August 22, 2011 without 

further notice unless EPA receives 

adverse comments by July 22, 2011. If 

an adverse comment is received, EPA 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

Direct Final Rule in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule? 

EPA is publishing this rule without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a non-controversial action and 

anticipate no adverse comment. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of today’s Federal Register 

publication, we are publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposed rule to adopt the provisions in 

this Direct Final rule if adverse 

comments are filed. We will not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time. If 

we receive one or more adverse 

comments on this correction, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register to notify the public 

that the amendment in this Direct Final 

rule that will not take effect. For further 

information about commenting on this 

rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. 

II. Does this action apply to me? 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are the hazardous waste manifest 

printers subject to 40 CFR 262.21(f) of 

the RCRA hazardous waste regulations. 

States are not affected by the changes to 

the printing specifications unless they 

opt to print manifests. No states are 

currently printing these forms. 

III. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—the Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES

• Explain why you disagree, suggests 

alternatives, and substitute language for 

your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified.

Protection Agency 

OMB Office of Management and Budget 

RCRA Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act 

USC United States Code 

V. Preamble 

A. What is the legal authority for this 

direct final rule? 

This rule is authorized under Sections 

1004 and 3002 of the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6903 

and 6922. 

B. How does this direct final rule revise 

the federal printing specification 

regulations established in the March 

2005 manifest revisions final rule? 

Today’s action amends 40 CFR 

262.21(f)(4) in order to revise the 

regulatory language that currently 

requires that the manifest copy 

distribution notations (printed in the 

bottom right-hand corner of each page of 

the manifest) be printed only in red ink. 

EPA is amending this paragraph by 

revising it to read: ‘‘The manifest and 

continuation sheet must be printed in 

black ink that can be legibly 

photocopied, scanned, or faxed, except 

that the marginal words indicating copy 

distribution must be printed with a 

distinct ink color or with another 

method (e.g., white text against black 

background in a text box, or, black text 

against grey background in a text box) 

that clearly distinguishes the copy 

distribution notations from the other 

text and data entries on the form.’’ This 

is the only manifest printing 

specification that we are revising in this 

Direct Final rule. 

C. Why are we amending 40 CFR 

262.21(f)(4)? 

EPA adopted a nationally 

standardized manifest form during the 

promulgation of the March 4, 2005 

Manifest Form Revisions Rule (70 FR 

10776 et seq.) in order to replace the 

various State manifest forms that were 

previously distributed to users by the 

RCRA authorized States. The March 

2005 rule also established the Manifest 

Registry system to ensure that 

authorized printers: (1) Produced the 

manifest form and continuation sheet 

with unique manifest tracking numbers 

pre-printed on them; and (2) adhered to 

the prescribed Federal printing 

specifications. The Manifest Revisions 

Rule generally required in 40 CFR 

262.21(f)(4) that the manifest form be 

printed in black ink, except that certain 

marginal notations identifying the copy 

distribution requirements must be 

printed in red ink on all six copies of 

the multi-paged form. EPA specified the 

red ink requirement for the copy 

distribution notations was based on 

comments received on the May 2001 

proposed rule notice. That is, while a 

number of commenters agreed that 

manifest printers should use black ink 

to print the form, several commenters 

suggested that the marginal notations 

should appear in red ink, because that 

ink color would help call attention to 

the copy distribution requirements and 

distinguish them from the remainder of 

the printed form entries. 

While the red ink requirement for the 

copy distribution notations seemed 

sensible when we promulgated the final 

rule in 2005, EPA now believes that the 

red ink requirement is too prescriptive, 

and may prevent printers from utilizing 

new printing processes and methods. 

For example, EPA recently received an 

application from a hazardous waste 

management company that wished to 

print its own manifest forms using laser 

printers mounted on its transport 

vehicles. While the applicant was able 

to comply with nearly all of the 

Manifest Registry application 

requirements and printing specifications 

prescribed in § 262.21(f), the applicant 

could not easily comply with the 

aforementioned red ink requirement, 

while printing and assembling manifests 

on its transport vehicles. This difficulty 

resulted because the laser printers 

proposed for use in this mobile 

application could not produce red print. 

The applicant demonstrated with this 

application, however, that it could 

easily implement a highlighting method 

that had the desired effect of setting off 

the copy distribution notations from the 

other printed entries on the form. This 

application provided a good example of 

how the requirement in § 262.21(f) for 

red ink was unnecessarily prescriptive, 

and that an amendment would make 

sense. EPA believes that today’s 

amendment will allow manifest printers 

greater flexibility in complying with the 

printing specifications, without 

incurring any additional costs or 

compromising in any way the ability of 

the manifest forms to track hazardous 

waste shipments cradle-to-grave. EPA 

believes that this is a very minor and 

non-controversial change to the printing 

specifications, and therefore is an 

appropriate subject for a Direct Final 

rule. 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning Review and Executive Order 

13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), the Agency 

must determine whether the regulatory 

action is ‘‘significant’’ and therefore 

subject to Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) review and the 

requirements of the Executive Order. 

The Order defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as one that is likely 

to result in a rule that may: 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more or 

adversely affect in a material way the 

economy, a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or Tribal governments or 

communities; 

(2) Create a serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

set forth in the Executive Order. 

OMB has determined that this rule is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under the terms of Executive Order 

12866 and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 

2011). Accordingly, EPA did not submit 

this action to OMB for review. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection burden. This 

action provides additional flexibility to 

printers of the hazardous waste manifest 

by giving these printers additional 

options for printing in the margins of 

the manifest the copy distribution 

requirements for the form. While this 

action provides the printers with 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 36365 

additional flexibility when printing the 

manifest form, it will impose no new 

information collection burdens on the 

generators, transporters, or treatment, 

storage, disposal, or recycling facilities 

that are required to use the manifest to 

track shipments of hazardous waste. 

OMB has previously approved the 

information collection requirements 

contained in the existing manifest 

regulations at 40 CFR part 262, subpart 

B, under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB 

control number 2050–0039. A copy of 

the OMB approved Information 

Collection Request (ICR) may be 

obtained from the Collection Strategies 

Division, U.S. EPA (2822T), 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC 20460 or by calling (202) 566–1672. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

generally requires an agency to prepare 

a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 

rule subject to notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other statute unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Small entities 

include small businesses, small 

organizations, and small governmental 

jurisdictions. 

For purposes of assessing the impacts 

of today’s rule on small entities, a small 

entity is defined as: (1) A small business 

as defined by the Small Business 

Administration’s (SBA) regulations at 13 

CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental 

jurisdiction that is a government of a 

city, county, town, school district or 

special district with a population of less 

than 50,000; and (3) a small 

organization that is any not-for-profit 

enterprise which is independently 

owned and operated and is not 

dominant in its field. 

After considering the economic 

impacts of today’s Direct Final rule on 

small entities, I certify that this action 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This rule consists only of a 

minor technical change to the manifest 

printing specifications, and the effect of 

this change is to make it easier for 

printers to comply with the manifest 

printing specification by providing 

additional options. Therefore, this rule 

does not impose any new burden or 

costs on printers or users of the 

manifest, including printers and users 

who are small entities as defined by the 

RFA. Since the rule will not have any 

significant adverse economic impact on 

small entities, the RFA does not require 

EPA to perform a regulatory flexibility 

analysis. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

This action contains no Federal 

mandates under the provisions of Title 

II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 

Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538 for State, local, or Tribal 

governments or the private sector. 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 

Law 104–4, establishes requirements for 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

the regulatory actions on state, local, 

and Tribal governments and on the 

private sector. Under section 202 of the 

UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a 

written statement, including a costbenefit analysis, for proposed and final 

rules with ‘‘Federal mandates’’ that may 

result in expenditures to state, local, 

and Tribal governments, in the 

aggregate, or to the private sector, of 

$100 million or more in any one year. 

Before promulgating an EPA rule for 

which a written statement is needed, 

section 205 of the UMRA generally 

requires EPA to identify and consider a 

reasonable number of regulatory 

alternatives and adopt the least costly, 

most cost-effective or least burdensome 

alternative that achieves the objective of 

the rule. The provisions of section 205 

do not apply when they are inconsistent 

with applicable law. Moreover, section 

205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative 

other than the least costly, most costeffective or least burdensome alternative 

if the Administrator publishes with the 

final rule an explanation why that 

alternative was not adopted. 

Before EPA establishes any regulatory 

requirements that may significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments, 

including Tribal governments, it must 

have developed under section 203 of the 

UMRA a small government agency plan. 

The plan must provide for notifying 

potentially affected small governments, 

enabling officials of affected small 

governments to have meaningful and 

timely input in the development of EPA 

regulatory proposals with significant 

Federal intergovernmental mandates, 

and informing, educating, and advising 

small governments on compliance with 

the regulatory requirements. 

This action does not contain any 

‘‘Federal intergovernmental mandates’’ 

or any ‘‘Federal private sector 

mandates’’ subject to Title II of the 

UMRA. This Direct Final rule simply 

makes a minor change that allows 

hazardous waste manifest printers more 

flexibility in meeting the printing 

specifications for the hazardous waste 

manifest form. The Manifest Registry 

program under which printers may 

register to print the hazardous waste 

manifest is a voluntary Federal program. 

Currently, there are no states, local 

governments, or Tribal governments 

involved with printing the manifest, but 

even if such a governmental agency 

elected to print the manifest, it would 

do so by participating in the voluntary 

Manifest Registry Program. The UMRA 

generally excludes from the definition 

of ‘‘Federal intergovernmental mandate’’ 

and the definition of ‘‘Federal private 

sector mandate’’ those duties that arise 

from participation in a voluntary 

Federal program. Since all participants 

in the Manifest Registry for printers do 

so voluntarily, this action is not subject 

to the requirements of sections 202 or 

205 of the UMRA. This action is also not 

subject to the requirements of section 

203 of the UMRA, because it contains 

no regulatory requirements that might 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. This action only affects 

hazardous waste manifest printers, and 

there are no small governments 

involved with printing the manifest. 

Thus, small governments are not 

significantly or uniquely affected by this 

action. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have Federalism 

implications. It will not have substantial 

direct effects on the states, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132. This action is 

only a minor regulatory change affecting 

the specifications under which 

hazardous waste manifest printers must 

print the manifest form. It does not 

impose substantial direct compliance 

costs. While the Federal printing 

specifications for manifest printers 

preclude States from requiring a 

different manifest form or different 

printing specifications, this preemptive 

effect arises under the RCRA 

consistency requirement for the 

manifest at 40 CFR 271.4 and from the 

uniformity requirements for the use of 

shipping papers under the Department 

of Transportation’s Hazardous Materials 

transportation laws. The requirement for 

consistency and uniformity in the 

manifest, including the manifest 

printing specifications, was explained 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
36366 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

in the Manifest Revisions Rule that EPA 

published in the March 4, 2005 Federal 

Register (70 FR 10776). The minor 

change to the printing specifications 

announced in today’s rule will provide 

some additional flexibility for manifest 

printers to print the copy distribution 

notations on the form. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

Executive Order 13175, entitled 

‘‘Consultation and Coordination with 

Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249), requires EPA to develop a 

process to ensure ‘‘meaningful and 

timely input by Tribal officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have Tribal implications,’’ as specified 

in Executive Order 13175. It will neither 

impose substantial direct compliance 

costs on Tribal governments, nor 

preempt Tribal law. This action has no 

effect on Tribal governments, as it only 

makes a minor change to the printing 

specifications that affect only entities 

printing the hazardous waste manifest. 

No Indian Tribes are involved with the 

printing of the hazardous waste 

manifest; nor are there any Indian 

Tribes with authorized Hazardous 

Waste regulatory programs that might 

have their own printing specifications 

for the hazardous waste manifest. Thus, 

Executive Order 13175 does not apply 

to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

1997). This action is not economically 

significant within the meaning of 

Executive Order 12866. Further, the 

action amends an administrative 

requirement pertaining to the manifest 

form, so it does not give rise to any 

environmental health or safety risks that 

could disproportionately affect children. 

H. Executive Order 13045: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This rule is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, ‘‘Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001) because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

I. National Technology Advancement 

Act 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology and Advancement Act of 

1995 (NTTAA), Public Law No. 104— 

113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) 

directs EPA to use voluntary consensus 

standards in its regulatory activities 

unless to do so would be inconsistent 

with applicable law or otherwise 

impractical. Voluntary consensus 

standards are technical standards (e.g., 

material specifications, test methods, 

sampling procedures, and business 

practices) that are developed or adopted 

by voluntary consensus standards 

bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide 

Congress, through the OMB, 

explanations when the Agency decides 

not to use available and applicable 

voluntary consensus standards. This 

action amends the hazardous waste 

manifest printing specifications which 

are developed and maintained solely by 

EPA. When EPA initially published the 

manifest printing specifications in 

March 2005, there were no potentially 

applicable voluntary consensus 

standards for manifest printers. EPA 

decided to develop the current printing 

specifications, which now prescribe the 

standards applicable to manifest 

printers. With this action, EPA is 

retaining and amending the Federal 

standards developed in the 2005 

Manifest Revisions Rule. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994) establishes Federal 

executive policy on environmental 

justice. Its main provision directs 

Federal agencies, to the greatest extent 

practicable and permitted by law, to 

make environmental justice part of their 

mission by identifying and addressing, 

as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, 

policies, and activities on minority 

populations and low-income 

populations in the United States. EPA 

has determined that this Direct Final 

rule will not have disproportionately 

high and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority or 

low-income populations because this 

rule simply makes a minor change to the 

hazardous waste manifest printing 

specifications. No minority or lowincome population will be affected by 

this change. 

K. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et. seq., as added by the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this rule and other 

information required by the 

Congressional Review Act to the U.S. 

Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives, and the Comptroller 

General of the United States prior to 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Under this Act, a major rule cannot take 

effect until 60 days after it is published 

in the Federal Register. This action is 

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). This Direct Final rule will 

be effective on August 22, 2011, unless 

EPA receives an adverse comment by 

July 22, 2011 and thereafter withdraws 

this direct final action.
