National Summary
Since the passage of Medical Waste Tracking Act (MWTA), several federal agencies have regulatory authority over medical waste. In addition, most states have their own medical waste rules. EPA has regulations governing emissions from HMIWIs, as well as requirements under FIFRA for treatment technologies that use chemicals for treating medical waste. DOT considers regulated medical waste a hazardous material during transport. Other federal agencies involved include FDA, NRC, OSHA, and USPS.
