What changed

The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), is seeking public comment on a proposed information collection, DLA Form 2503, related to the Application for Qualified Transporter List. This collection is necessary for companies contracted to dispose of hazardous waste and materials for the U.S. Government to demonstrate their ability to operate safely and in compliance with regulatory law. The DLA assesses these companies and their intended disposal facilities to ensure protection of human health and the environment.

Companies that have entered into service contracts with the U.S. Government for hazardous waste disposal are the respondents. They will need to collect information from their disposal facilities and submit it to DLA Disposition Services, likely via DLA Form 2507 and supporting documents such as proof of insurance and permits. The public comment period closes on May 18, 2026, and comments are invited on the necessity, utility, accuracy, quality, and minimization of the proposed information collection burden.

What to do next

Review DLA Form 2503 and associated collection instruments.
Submit comments on the proposed information collection by May 18, 2026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Application for Qualified Transporter List; DLA Form 2503; OMB Control Number 0704-AQTL.

Needs and Uses: Respondents are companies that have entered a contract with the United States (U.S.) Government to dispose of Hazardous Waste
and Hazardous Material on behalf of the U.S. Government. These service contracts' are how the government disposes of hazardous waste/materials. To ensure the protection of human health and the environment, the U.S. Governmentassesses' the company's
ability to operate safely and in accordance with regulatory law. In accordance with their signed contract, the contractor
will collect the information from the disposal facility they intend to use and provide it to DLA Disposition Services.

The DLA Form 2507 is the single vehicle used to apply with this information. However, the contractor will submit additional
information via email (i.e., proof of insurance, disposal permit(s), regulatory inspection results) to substantiate the validity of the application and
the disposal facility in accordance with the disposal contract. The contractor is provided a blank application form in fillable
pdf format when the disposal contract is signed. The vetting office will also provide blank copies of the DLA Form 2507 when
requested by the contractor. The DLA Form 2507 is used by the vetting office to assist in the vetting process. When completed,
the contractor emails the completed DLA Form 2507 application form to DLA Disposition Services Vetting Office for review at TSDFandTransporterInquiries@dla.mil.

The result of the review process by the Vetting is the disposal facility's addition to the Qualified Facility List (QFL) and
authorized use by the disposal contractor. If the facility fails to meet the minimum standards established by DLA Disposition
Services, the facility is rejected/disapproved and will not be added to the QFL and the disposal contractor will not be allowed
to use the facility for disposal of Hazardous Waste.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.

Annual Burden Hours: 250.
