The EPA has not had regulatory authority over medical waste since the Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988 expired in 1991. Most states have since developed their own programs, resulting in significant differences for each state. A summary of this state’s requirements includes the following.
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality regulates infectious waste:
- 17 ARM 50.15 regulations for infectious waste cover:
- 50.1501 Applicability;
- 50.1503 Transporter and storage facility operator registration;
- 50.1504 Transportation and management plan general requirements;
- 50.1505 Transportation requirements;
