Attention: New services documentation is under construction at https://usepa.github.io/e-manifest/ and will be available soon
The overarching purpose of e-Manifest is to establish a national information technology system that will enable the Agency and the hazardous waste program’s industry and state stakeholders to transition the manifest system from one that is paper-intensive and burdensome to a system that is much more efficient, because it will rely on information technology to track hazardous waste shipments.
The e-Manifest team has uploaded an Updated FAQ.
The release calendar can be found here: Release Calendar

Please note: The test environment for the most part mirrors the handler information in our production environment. When testing, please also make sure your site information is up to date. If it is not, please use myRCRAid or your state’s paper notification process to update your site in the production environment.
Registration:
In order to access the test environment, all users will be required to set up a test account on the test site. If you are interested in testing services, please read our services documentation. Please note, this test user account will be used for this review and all subsequent reviews and/or testing of e-Manifest software.

Search for your EPA ID number in the Site ID box or a test site and then select that facility.(For example: VA000532119)
-
Request a role for the site
- The 'Site Manager' Role will allow you to use the API services.
-
After you submit your request, the request will go to your state or an EPA administrator. Please understand this is not an instant access process and the administrator will need to manually activate your request during normal business hours.
-
Once you have completed this registration you may use either https://test.epacdx.net/ or https://rcrainfopreprod.epa.gov/rcrainfo/ to log on to the application.
Obtaining an API Key
If you want to register for an API ID and key to test the services, you may create one by clicking on the 'Tools' menu and selecting API. The API page will allow you to generate your unique API ID and key. The API ID and Key can be used to access our web services which are documented on the Services Information page and, if logged into e-Manifest, on Swagger
Upcoming Iterations
In the upcoming months, we will add more screens and request feedback from States, Brokers, and Transporters. In addition, we will also release new versions of our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for users wishing to implement e-Manifest in their existing manifest systems.
EPA's Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System (e-Manifest) page
