Thank you for your attention to my question.
It took me a few weeks to reply (I replied 05.10.17). I was real busy back then:
Thank you for contacting me. I apologize for the delay in my response. Please see below.
- The answer to your questions depends on whether or not the regulated medical waste is subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations of the USDOT. It may be subject to an exception from full regulation. Please read: The Identification and Transportation of a Regulated Medical Waste.
- Also, since regulated medical waste is not regulated by the USEPA it may be subject to state-specific regulations. Some states require the use of a state-specific shipping document for regulated medical waste, e.g. Potentially Infectious Medical Waste in Illinois.
I hope this helps. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any other questions.
