The first story we're working on is an effort to understand current U.S. law when it comes to exporting escrap. My questions below are pretty straightforward and just aimed at clarity above all - let me know if you can get back to me by end of day tomorrow. This is not for attribution, only for background. 1.) Is RCRA the lone U.S. law that currently governs the export of e-scrap? Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00019592-00001 2. ) As I understand it, RCRA exempts e-scrap from being classified as a hazardous waste as long as the waste is being sent for domestic or international recycling. Is this accurate? 3. ) Is the CRT rule the only device-specific regulation concerning the downstream movement of end-of-life electronics? 4. ) It's my understanding that firms specifically exporting CRT material must provide U.S. EPA with written approval from an importing country before shipping the material overseas. Are companies required to do this for any other devices bound for export? Thanks as always for your help on this, Tricia - Ex. 6 Bobby Elliott Editor at Large Resmrce.RejCY.cl.ing.
