ComplyOnSiteWhere does Federal activity A170 go on the federal notification?
In the waste classification details. Federal activity A170 describes a waste or recyclable line on the federal notification. It records the activity that made the waste, and doesn't decide whether it is hazardous.
For federally regulated international shipments, the applicant enters the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions still apply.
What does Federal activity A170 cover?
It records production of electricity as the generating activity. Pick it from the activity, reason, physical state or intended operation reported for the waste line, not from the waste name alone.
