    (a) Manifest discrepancies are differences between the quantity or 
type of hazardous waste designated on the manifest or shipping paper, 
and the quantity or type of hazardous waste a

facility actually receives. Significant discrepancies in quantity are: 
(1) For bulk waste, variations greater than 10 percent in weight, and 
(2) for batch waste, any variation in piece count, such as a discrepancy 
of one drum in a truckload. Significant discrepancies in type are 
obvious differences which can be discovered by inspection or waste 
analysis, such as waste solvent substituted for waste acid, or toxic 
constituents not reported on the manifest or shipping paper.
    (b) Upon discovering a significant discrepancy, the owner or 
operator must attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste 
generator or transporter (e.g., with telephone conversations). If the 
discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, 
the owner or operator must immediately submit to the Regional 
Administrator a letter describing the discrepancy and attempts to 
reconcile it, and a copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.
