{"abstract":"This notice announces the availability of additional information on the electronic manifest (e-manifest ) project. Specifically, subsequent to EPA's proposal to develop a nearly paperless electronic approach for implementing the manifest requirements, EPA's Office of Solid Waste held a two-day public meeting to discuss and obtain public input on a national e-manifest system. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss with stakeholders our rulemaking progress and to solicit their input and preferences on the development and implementation of the e-manifest project. EPA also presented material on alternative information technology (IT) approaches to the e-manifest, including a centralized approach under which EPA would host a web-based national system. As a result of these discussions and subsequent analysis of possible means to fund the development and operation of an e-manifest system, EPA now believes that a centralized, national e-manifest system is the preferred approach as we proceed with the rulemaking authorizing the use of electronic manifests. EPA will consider the data obtained from the public meeting and any new data from public comments received on this notice in making a final decision on whether to develop a national electronic manifest (e-manifest) system. Because the Agency expects to go final based on the comments it receives on this notice, as well as other comments received, any party interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.","action":"Notice of data availability and request for comment.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/04/18/E6-5745.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":260,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":261,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":262,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":263,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":264,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":265,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":271,"title":40}],"citation":"71 FR 19842","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2006-06-19","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received on or before June 19, 2006.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-RCRA-2001-0032","FRL-8159-3"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E6-5745","effective_on":null,"end_page":19848,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2006/04/18/E6-5745.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/04/18/E6-5745/hazardous-waste-management-system-modification-of-the-hazardous-waste-manifest-system","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E6-5745?publication_date=2006-04-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2006-04-18/E6-5745/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":7,"page_views":{"count":74,"last_updated":"2026-08-25 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-04-18/pdf/E6-5745.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2006-04-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2006/04/18/E6-5745.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2050-AE21":{"issue":"200404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2050-AE21/hazardous-waste-manifest-regulation","title":"Hazardous Waste Manifest Regulation","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200404&RIN=2050-AE21&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2050-AE21"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Supporting Statement For Information Collection Request (ICR) 0801.18 - Requirements for Generators, Transporters, & Waste Management Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous Waste Manifest System","document_id":"EPA-HQ-RCRA-2001-0032-0187"},{"title":"Response to Comments Document -- Hazardous Waste Management System:  Modifications of the Hazardous Waste Manifest System;
