What is Happening to Export No9ces Now

• Paper export no5ces submiXed already are being processed; most

are s5ll being reviewed by country of import

• EPA has reached out to the countries asking them to process consent by

12/30/16 if at all possible

• EPA is no longer accep5ng paper export no5ces, as it is impossible to

receive consent prior to 12/31/16

• Any paper no5ce that does not receive consent by 12/31/16 will have

to be resubmiXed electronically using WIETS with all informa5on required in 40 CFR 262.83(b)

Demo of EPA’s Waste Import Export Tracking System (WIETS) and Central Data Exchange (CDX)

Intro

Today we will go over:

• What are WIETS and CDX
• Different User Types for WIETS
• CDX Registra5on
• Using WIETS

About WIETS and CDX

WIETS is the United States Environmental Protec5on Agency (EPA) Waste Import/Export Tracking System responsible for managing hazardous waste no5ce and repor5ng data. EPA has extended use of WIETS by hazardous waste importers and exporters to include electronic submission and signature of hazardous waste no5ces and annual reports. Exporters shipping hazardous waste interna5onally must use WIETS to electronically submit no5ces, and may use WIETS to electronically submit annual reports to EPA. Importers submijng no5ces when the country of origin does not control the shipments as hazardous waste exports will be required to use WIETS to electronically submit no5ces to EPA at a future date. WIETS is not used for tracking of internal domes5c shipments. CDX is the point of entry on the Environmental Informa5on Exchange Network (Exchange Network) for environmental data submissions to the Agency. Its use is supported by the Cross-Media Electronic Repor5ng Rule (CROMERR) which provides the legal framework for electronic repor5ng under all of EPA's environmental regula5ons.

Different Types of Users

• No+ce Preparers – Preparers are hazardous waste industry

representa5ves that can enter no5ce and report data into WIETS but do not have the legal authority to sign or submit no5ces and reports to EPA. Preparers must be sponsored by a US hazardous waste industry representa5ve with legal authority to sign the no5ces and reports and must assign a cer5fier to each no5ce/report for signature and submission to EPA.

• No+ce Cer+fiers – Cer5fiers are US hazardous waste industry

representa5ves that legally sign off on the hazardous waste no5ce

• submissions. Along with being able to enter no5ce data, cer5fiers can

provide electronic signatures for no5ces and reports and submit them to EPA.

Signing Up and CDX

Steps Include:

• Crea5ng an account in CDX
• If you are a cer5fier and will be signing no5ces and reports,

gejng the account iden5ty proofed for signing

• Sejng up sponsorships between other preparers/cer5fiers

WIETS No5ce Lis5ngs

WIETS No5ce Lifecycle

• Dra5: While no5ce data is being entered into WIETS, the no5ce is in Drag status. Both

preparers and cer5fiers can edit these no5ces. When all no5ce data is completed, preparers can assign a cer5fier to the no5ce for signature, and cer5fiers can con5nue to sign and submit the no5ce to EPA.

• Awai+ng Signature: These no5ces have been assigned a cer5fier and are awai5ng review

and signature for submission to EPA. No5ces in this status are s5ll editable. Once the no5ce is signed and submiXed to EPA, the no5ce becomes read-only.

• Pending: These no5ces have been signed and submiXed to EPA, but no determina5on

(consent or objec5on) has been made on the no5ces. These no5ces are read-only in WIETS.

• Processed: These no5ces have been signed and submiXed to EPA and a determina5on

(consent or objec5on) has been made on the no5ce. These no5ces are read-only in WIETS.
