Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Estimated $50M Annual Savings
EPA says the e-Manifest electronic hazardous-waste system will ultimately save state and industry users more than $50 million annually once electronic manifests are widely adopted. These savings come from replacing paper-based tracking with electronic manifests and reducing paperwork and related inefficiencies.
EPA Authorized to Charge User Fees
The e-Manifest Act authorizes EPA to set reasonable user fees to recover costs for developing, operating, maintaining, and upgrading the e-Manifest system. Those who use hazardous waste manifests may be charged fees by EPA to pay system costs.
Option to Replace Paper with Electronic Manifests
Users of the uniform hazardous-waste manifest forms (EPA Form 8700-22 and Continuation Sheet 8700-22A) can choose electronic manifests from the national e-Manifest system instead of paper. EPA says electronic manifests reduce paperwork costs and other inefficiencies for generators, transporters, and receiving facilities.
Nominees: Travel Pay and Ethics Filing Requirement
People selected to serve on the e-Manifest Advisory Board will receive compensation for travel and a nominal daily payment when attending in-person meetings. IT expert members designated as Special Government Employees (SGEs) must complete the Confidential Financial Disclosure Form (EPA Form 3310-48) and be screened for conflicts of interest (for example, where a nominee's organization might receive related e-Manifest contracts).
