EPA Releases New CRT Rule, Tightening Exports for Reuse The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released revised regulations for the export of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) which affect all persons who export used CRTs for reuse and recycling. While the new rules – which take effect on Dec. 26 of this year -- retain the conditional exclusion from solid waste for used CRTs, they increase reporting requirements as follows:
(1) A new definition of “CRT Exporter”, has been added to consolidate the export related activities and assign responsibility for the CRT Exporter since there is often several persons involved in the export of CRTs. “CRT Exporter” is any person in the United States who initiates a transaction to send used CRTs outside of the United States or its territories for recycling or reuse, or any intermediary in the United States arranging for such export. While only one submission is required, persons involved in the export should coordinate and assign exporter responsibilities among themselves as all persons are jointly and severally liable for failing to comply.
(2) Submission of Reports for Used CRTs Sent for Recycling to EPA by March 1 of each year
a. The report summarizes: quantity (in kilograms); frequency of shipment; and ultimate destination(s) of all used CRTs exported for recycling during the previous calendar year;
b. Reports must also include the name, EPA ID number (if applicable), mailing and site address of the CRT exporter, the calendar year covered by the report a signed certification that certifies under penalty of law that shipments have been personally examined and are true, accurate and complete;
c. To avoid duplicative submissions, EPA expects only one person to perform the CRT Exporter duties.
(3) Notification Requirement to Now Include Expected Quantity of Used CRTs to be Sent to Each Facility
(4) One-time Notice Replaced with Notification to Cover Export Activity Extending a 12-month or lesser period. The written notification, signed by the CRT Exporter must contain the following information:
