What if a manufacturer cannot meet the labeling requirements?
Under limited circumstances, a manufacturer may apply to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Interstate Mercury Education and Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC) for an alternative to the labeling requirements. Where must alternative labeling requests be submitted? All documentation in support of a manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer’s request for an alternative to the labeling requirements must be submitted to IMERC and DEP. Only original documentation will be accepted; copies, faxes or electronic submissions will not be accepted. All information must be either typed or printed using black ink. Refer to the IMERC website for information on the correct form to use for requesting an alternative to the labeling requirements and submit originals to: Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association IMERC 129 Portland Street, Suite 602 Boston, MA 02114-2014 and Department of Environmental Protection Mercury Program/Tom Metzner 79 Elm Street, 4th floor Hartford, CT 06106-5
