the EPA under the e-Manifest Act,
including: The effectiveness of the e-
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Manifest IT system and associated user
fees and processes; matters and policies
related to the e-Manifest program;
regulations and guidance as required by
the e-Manifest Act; actions to encourage
the use of the electronic (paperless)
system; changes to the user fees as
described in e-Manifest Act Section
2(c)(3)(B)(i); and issues in the e-Manifest
area, including those identified in the
EPA’s E-Enterprise strategy that
intersect with the e-Manifest system,
such as: Business-to-business
communications; performance
standards for mobile devices; and the
EPA’s Cross Media Electronic Reporting
Rule (CROMERR) requirements.
The sole duty of the Advisory Board
is to provide advice and
recommendations to the EPA
Administrator. As required by the eManifest Act, the e-Manifest Advisory
Board is composed of nine (9) members.
One (1) member is the EPA
Administrator (or a designee), who
serves as Chairperson of the Advisory
Board. The rest of the committee is
composed of:
• At least two (2) members who have
expertise in information technology;
• At least three (3) members who
have experience in using or represent
users of the manifest system to track the
transportation of hazardous waste under
the e-Manifest Act;
• At least three (3) members who are
state representatives responsible for
processing manifests.
All members of the e-Manifest
Advisory Board, except for the EPA
Administrator, are appointed as Special
Government Employees or
representatives.
D. Public Meeting
EPA launched the e-Manifest system
on June 30, 2018. e-Manifest enables
those persons required to use a RCRA
manifest under either federal or state
law the option of using electronic
manifests to track shipments of
hazardous waste and to meet certain
RCRA reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
EPA will convene its next public
meeting of the e-Manifest System
Advisory Board from June 18–20, 2019.
The purpose of this meeting is to obtain
advice from the Board on ways to
increase the adoption of the e-Manifest
system. The Agency has received
feedback from the user community that
clarifying the requirements and
implementation of CROMERR is one
way to encourage greater adoption of
fully electronic manifests. The Agency
will address this topic and propose
technological solutions for
consideration by the Board.
