How does the LSP act as an Agent of PRP and sign the PRP Certification Statement?
The same rules apply for eDEP as for a paper transmittal form, the authority to authorize the LSP to act as the agent of the PRP is found in the MCP at 310 CMR 40.0009(2). For paper transmittal forms the PRP submits a letter to the appropriate regional office authorizing the LSP to act as their agent for response actions at the site (RTN). In eDEP the PRP writes the same letter and the LSP uploads the letter and attaches it to each eDEP submittal for that RTN. The authorization letter can be added to whatever document is being submitted in eDEP.
