[{"id":871,"title":"emanifest: A Python utility package for accessing the US EPA's hazardous waste tracking system","sha":"f0e41a7117f7d5f0a2c35e89c9864a60","user_id":null,"state":"published","body":"The overarching purpose of e-Manifest is to establish a national information technology system that will enable the U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency and the hazardous waste program’s industry and state stakeholders to transition the manifest system from one that is paper-intensive and burdensome to a system that is much more efficient, because it will rely on information technology to track hazardous waste shipments.\r\n\r\nTo advance that goal and reduce the difficulty of accessing data, the e-Manifest team has developed the **emanifest** Python package for regulators and industry users of the e-Manifest system. This package allows for the programmatic access of relevant data via the e-Manifest REST API. This package is available to any user with API Manager permissions in RCRAInfo. Additional details about the API are available via the Swagger interface.\r\n\r\nThe **emanifest** package is distributed via the Python Software Foundation (PSF) Python Package Index (PyPI) at the following link: https://pypi.org/project/emanifest/\r\n\r\nThe **emanifest** source code is available via GitHub at the following link: https://github.com/usepa/e-manifest","created_at":"2021-07-21T14:25:35.076Z","updated_at":"2021-09-13T06:00:54.866Z","zenodo_id":5502222,"doi":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5502222","subject":null,"tags":["regulation","python","government","hazardous waste","rcra"],"vote_count":0,"view_count":1,"score":0.1,"deleted":false,"muted":false,"tweeted":true,"attachment_file_name":null,"attachment_content_type":null,"attachment_file_size":null,"attachment_updated_at":null},{"id":1170,"title":"Cookie-Cutter Effect of Regulation ","sha":"37d8c62402718627a2377f9c8258b9fa","user_id":null,"state":"published","body":"The best description of the Brussels Effect is “unilateral regulatory globalization” (Bradford, 2012). Per Bradford (2012) this “..occurs when a single state can externalize its laws and regulations outside its borders through market mechanisms, resulting in the globalization of standards…”. Can this apply to regulatory regimes intra-jurisdictionally? In other words, can nearly identical regulations be applied under categorically homogeneous conditions? In the U.S., we have seen campaigns to “externalize” the regulatory frameworks of alcohol and tobacco (age restrictions, control boards, excise taxes, etc.) to emerging markets for recreational cannabis.\r\n\r\nThe Cookie-Cutter Effect of Regulation is a natural corollary of the Brussels Effect, but instead of being a geographically applying previously established regulatory regime, it is the application of similar regulations to categorically similar commodities and conduct. If it works in one similar country, it might work in another. If it works for alcohol, it might work for marijuana; this is the core assumption underlying this concept.\r\n","created_at":"2023-11-09T16:20:09.629Z","updated_at":"2023-11-16T06:00:26.702Z","zenodo_id":10140339,"doi":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10140339","subject":null,"tags":["brussels effect","regulation","political science","regulatory regimes"],"vote_count":0,"view_count":1,"score":0.1,"deleted":false,"muted":false,"tweeted":false,"attachment_file_name":null,"attachment_content_type":null,"attachment_file_size":null,"attachment_updated_at":null}]
