EPA Regions are to integrate electronic manifest-specific language into all relevant contracts, enforcement models, and interagency agreements (IAs). Additionally, this memo provides clarification on manifest signatory authority for EPA-involved cleanups and removal actions where EPA’s Federal Partner Agencies are involved.
