Announcements from regulatory agencies of the US Government in the Federal Register can have a profound impact on your business. Therefore it’s important for you to continuously monitor Federal Register publications for announcements applicable to your operations. I can help you to do this.

Here I will briefly summarize, and provide access to more information, on a specific Federal Register announcement: Hazardous Materials: Reverse Logistics (RRR).
