The following definitions apply to this subpart:
Consumer price index

						price index for all U.S. cities using the "U.S. city average" area, "all items"
						and "not seasonally adjusted" numbers calculated by the Bureau of Labor
						Statistics in the Department of Labor.
Cross Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
						costs
are the sub-category of operations and maintenance costs that
						are expended by EPA in implementing electronic signature, user registration,
						identity proofing, and copy of record solutions that meet EPA's electronic
						reporting regulations as set forth in the CROMERR as codified at 40 CFR part
						3.
Electronic manifest submissions
means
						manifests that are initiated electronically using the electronic format
						supported by the e-Manifest system, and that are signed electronically and
						submitted electronically to the e-Manifest system by facility owners or
						operators to indicate the receipt or rejection of the wastes identified on the
						electronic manifest. Electronic manifest submissions include the hybrid or
						mixed paper/electronic manifests authorized under § 262.24(c)(1).
EPA program costs
mean the Agency's
						intramural and non-information technology extramural costs expended in the
						design, development and operations of the e-Manifest system, as well as in
						regulatory development activities supporting eManifest, in conducting its
						capital planning, project management, oversight and outreach activities related
						to e-Manifest, in conducting economic analyses supporting eManifest, and in
						establishing the System Advisory Board to advise EPA on the system. Depending
						on the date on which EPA program costs are incurred, these costs may be further
						classified as either system setup costs or operations and maintenance
						costs.
Help desk costs
mean the costs incurred
						by EPA or its contractors to operate the e-Manifest Help Desk, which EPA will
						establish to provide e-Manifest system users with technical assistance and
						related support activities.
Indirect costs
mean costs not captured
						as marginal costs, system setup costs, or operations and maintenance costs, but
						that are necessary to capture because of their enabling and supporting nature,
						and to ensure full cost recovery. Indirect costs include, but are not limited
						to, such cost items as physical overhead, maintenance, utilities, and rents on
						land, buildings, or equipment. Indirect costs also include the EPA costs
						incurred from the participation of EPA offices and upper management personnel
						outside of the lead program office responsible for implementing the e-Manifest
						program.
Manifest submission type
means the type
						of manifest submitted to the e-Manifest system for processing, and includes
						electronic manifest submissions and paper manifest submissions.
Marginal labor costs

						labor costs incurred by staff operating the paper manifest processing center in
						conducting data key entry, QA, scanning, copying, and other manual or clerical
						functions necessary to process the data from paper manifest submissions into
						the e-Manifest system's data repository.
Operations and maintenance costs
mean
						all system related costs incurred by EPA or its contractors after the
						activation of the e-Manifest system. Operations and maintenance costs include
						the costs of operating the electronic manifest information technology system
						and data repository, CROMERR costs, help desk costs, EPA program costs incurred
						after e-Manifest system activation, and the costs of operating the paper
						manifest processing center, other than the paper processing center's marginal
						labor costs.
Paper manifest submissions
mean
						submissions to the paper processing center of the e-Manifest system by facility
						owners or operators, of the data from the designated facility copy of a paper
						manifest, EPA Form 8700-22, or a paper Continuation Sheet, EPA Form 8700-22A.
						Such submissions may be made by mailing the paper manifests or continuation
						sheets, by submitting image files from paper manifests or continuation sheets

						data file in accordance with the procedures of § 264.1311(c).
System setup costs
mean all system
						related costs, intramural or extramural, incurred by EPA prior to the
						activation of the e-Manifest system. Components of system setup costs include
						the procurement costs from procuring the development and testing of the
						e-Manifest system, and the EPA program costs incurred prior to e-Manifest
						system activation.
