Proposed Revisions to the Requirements for Transboundary Shipments of Wastes between OECD Countries, to the Requirements for Export Shipments of Spent Lead Acid Batteries, to the Requirements on Submitting Exception Reports for Export Shipments of Hazardous Wastes, and to the Requirements for Import Shipments of Hazardous Wastes ("OECD-SLAB Revisions") The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a proposed action designed to amend the existing regulations governing shipments (export/import/transit) of hazardous wastes destined for recovery between the U.S. and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The proposed action integrates into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) various OECD Council Decisions revising the rules governing transboundary movement of hazardous wastes among OECD countries, which the U.S, as a signing party, is obligated to implement. In order to implement this legally-binding obligation, EPA is taking action to amend the existing regulations at 40 CFR 262, subpart H. EPA is also taking this opportunity to make technical corrections and clarifications to the regulations at 40 CFR part 262; ?262.58(a); ?262.58(b); ?264.12(a)(2); and ?265.12(a)(2). The Agency's proposed regulatory changes do not increase the scope of hazardous wastes subject to U.S. export and import controls. However, they modify the procedural controls governing U.S. export and import of hazardous waste shipped for recovery operations among OECD Member countries (except for Canada and Mexico). Hazardous waste shipments to Canada and Mexico will continue to move under the current bilateral agreements and regulations.

New paperwork requirements are necessary to bring EPA regulations concerning OECD shipments into compliance with binding OECD decision; to make more uniform notice and consent process for SLAB export shipments to ensure SLABs are sent to foreign facilities that can manage them in an environmentally sound manner; and to require documentation of EPA's consent for hazardous waste import shipments to facilitate oversight of such shipments.
