Starting December 31, 2017, exporters of RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) manifested hazardous waste for recycling or disposal, spent lead-acid batteries (SLABs) being shipped for recovery of lead, and universal waste (UW) being shipped for recycling or disposal must comply with filing EPA-specific information as part of their Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing in the Automated Export System (AES) per EPA regulations in 40 CFR 263.83(a)(6)(ii). Exporters of whole or broken cathode ray tubes (CRTs) being shipped for recycling must similarly comply with filing EPA-specific information in AES per 40 CFR 261.39(a)(5)(v)(B) starting on that date. Both EPA regulations require filing the EPA-specific items in the EEI, along with the other information required under 15 CFR 30.6.
EPA's Acknowledgement of Consent (AOC) meets the definition of an export license under U.S. Census Bureau regulations at 15 CFR 30.1. As such, RCRA exporters are already required to file the EEI in AES regardless of shipment value or destination country under 15 CFR 30.2(a)(iv)(F). RCRA exporters are also required to file in AES predeparture in accordance with 15 CFR 30.4(b).
