 Section 3003,  Subtitle C, of the Resource
 Conservation  and  Recovery  Act  (RCRA)
 requires promulgation of standards applicable
 to transporters of hazardous waste as may be
 necessary  to protect  human  health and the
 environment. These  proposed standards pre-
 scribe detailed procedures for recordkeeping,
 response  to  accidents  and  the reporting
 thereof,  acceptance  of hazardous waste for
 transportation, compliance with the manifest
 system, delivery of  the hazardous waste to
 a  designated  facility,  and the  placarding/
 marking of  vehicles.  The standards would
 apply  to any person  or Federal agency that
 transports  hazardous waste  that  requires  a
 manifest within  the  United States. EPA  is
 proposing  that  all  hazardous waste which
 meet  the  Department of Transportation's
 definition of a hazardous material be subject
 to  the Federal  DOT's Hazardous Materials
 Regulations for both  interstate and intrastate
 shipments.
 The  Department of  Transportation  is pro-
 posing regulations for the transportation of
 hazardous  waste  materials  which  would
 extend the coverage of its regulations to all
„ hazardous  waste as  defined by  EPA. DOT
 proposes that its regulations would apply to
 inter- and intrastate  shippers and carriers. In
 addition,   DOT's  proposal  references,  or
 incorporates, the EPA regulation proposed for
 transporters.

  POSED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER
  ON APRIL 28, 1978. IT IS ANTICIPA-
  TED  THAT THE DOT REGULATION
  WILL BE PROPOSED IN THE FEDER-
  AL  REGISTER  BY JUNE  1,  1978.

  LATION   MAY  BE OBTAINED  BY

  WASTE,  NOW  BEING DEVELOPED
