EPA is proposing to revise the export provisions of the CRT rule. The purpose of these proposed revisions is to address certain implementation concerns with the current export provisions of the CRT rule. EPA is proposing a definition of "CRT exporter" that includes any intermediaries arranging for the export. Because CRTs are sometimes exported to more than one recycler in the receiving country, EPA is also proposing to require that the exporter state the name and address of the recycler or recyclers and the estimated quantity of CRTs to be sent to each facility, as well as the names of any alternate recyclers.
US Code:
42 USC 6901
Name of Law: Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
Based on the number of CRT Reuse Notifications submitted during 2013, there exists approximately 140 such entities in the U.S. Therefore for the final rule we have increased the number of respondents from 138 to 140.
