wastes after the fulfillment of the following conditions:

a) the exporter must inform the Regulatory Authority of the exact

nature of the waste to be exported

b) After approval by the Regulatory Authority, it will notify or ask

the genertor to notify, in writing, the competent authority of the

States concerned, in a language acceptable to it, of the proposed

waste export, the generator, the exporter, the disposer, the carrier,

projected date of shipment and arrival, mode of transport, insurance,

designation and physical description of the waste, type of packaging

from the Regulatory Authority (for consent) so long as no other

conditions are imposed or objections raised by the transit-State in

question during this sixty-day period

consent of the States concerened has been given, subject to the provision of

article.......of this Law, cannot be completed in accordance with the terms of

the contract, the Regulatory Authority shall require the exporter to develop

an alternative means of environmentally sound disposal of such wastes.
