SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest
System Advisory Board is established in accordance with the provisions
of the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act (e-
Manifest Act) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The
Advisory Board is in the public interest and supports the EPA in
performing its duties and responsibilities. The Advisory Board meets
annually to discuss, evaluate the effectiveness of, and provide
recommendations about the system to the EPA Administrator. For more
information, please visit the Advisory Board website at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/e-manifest/hazardous-waste-electronic-manifest-system-e-manifest-advisory-board">https://www.epa.gov/e-manifest/hazardous-waste-electronic-manifest-system-e-manifest-advisory-board</a>.
To help ensure that the e-Manifest system is meeting the needs of
its user community, EPA is inviting the public to suggest potential
charges for which the Agency could consider asking the Advisory Board
to address during future public meetings of the Advisory Board. A
charge includes focused questions on a specific topic upon which the
Agency could seek to obtain advice or recommendations from the Advisory
Board. Relevant topics could include matters related to the operational
activities, functions, policies, and regulations of EPA under the e-
Manifest Act.
While EPA is soliciting public input on potential future charge
questions for the Advisory Board, EPA notes the Agency has sole
discretion in determining charge questions ultimately posed to the
Advisory Board. EPA also notes that the Advisory Board only provides
advice and recommendations to EPA, and EPA in turn considers such
advice when making decisions pertaining to the e-Manifest system.
