This rule expands the regulations already in existence for shipping hazardous biological materials. The Site Registration process entails completion of an extensive application packet and payment of a sizable registration fee. Substantial criminal penalties apply to both individuals and organizations who do not comply with the regulation requirements. ISU has completed an application packet and recently received a Site Registration number.
Registered laboratories are subject to inspection by outside agencies.
Currently, regulations mandate that some of these items be managed as hazardous waste if they are not recycled. Two companies, Jebro Inc. from Sioux City, Iowa, and Des Moines Metro Recycling from Bondurant, Iowa, have been retained to provide recycling services for these wastes. The attached guidelines provide information to operating units on program set up and participation procedures. Please circulate this information to persons in your unit who generate these types of waste or who may have direct responsibility for operations that generate these wastes. If you have any questions, please contact A. David Inyang at 4-7676.
