WEBINAR – New RCRA Hazardous Waste Export-Import Rule

The ACTA Group

On November 28, 2016, the Hazardous Waste Export-Import Revisions rule was published in the Federal Register and is effective as of December 31, 2016. This rule impacts thousands of entities that export and/or import shipments of hazardous wastes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is strengthening its standards to comport with requirements in place for Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, to respond to recommendations issued by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation, and to quell criticisms of its regulations raised by its own Inspector General Office. The changes significantly alter the requirements for international hazardous waste shipments.
 
Join us on January 4, 2017, for an in-depth webinar, “New RCRA Hazardous Waste Export-Import Revisions: How EPA’s Final Rule Will Impact Your Operations,” presented by Acta Group President Lynn L. Bergeson and Senior Regulatory Consultant Christopher R. Bryant, and hosted by Business and Legal Resources (BLR).  Ms. Bergeson and Mr. Bryant will provide detailed information on the final rule and the steps you will need to take to ensure compliance.

You Will Learn:

  • New requirements for international tracking documents
  • Which electronic reporting requirements are required
  • What information must be submitted to EPA and other agencies
  • Which shipments are prohibited from export and/or import
  • Which provisions of the rule will be phased in
  • How to revise your organization’s practices to maintain compliance
