e. A certification signed by the hazardous secondary material generator that states: “I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the information submitted in this and all attached documents, and that based on my inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the submitted information is true, accurate, and complete.

NR 661.0004 Note
Note: The requirements of par. (y) are based on
40 CFR 261.4 (a) (25) and are administered by EPA and not the department because the exercise of foreign relations and international commerce powers is reserved to the federal government under the U.S. Constitution. Wisconsin has adopted these requirements into its rules for the convenience of the regulated community and for completeness. The enforcement of the
40 CFR 261.4 (a) (25) requirements remains EPA's responsibility even though Wisconsin has adopted these requirements into its rules. Wisconsin plays a key role in providing EPA with information on whether Wisconsin facilities designated to receive hazardous waste imports are authorized to manage specific wastes and in ensuring facility compliance with all applicable environmental laws and rules.
