Sec. 761.211  Unmanifested waste report.

    (a) After April 4, 1990, if a PCB commercial storage or disposal 
facility receives any shipment of PCB waste from an off-site source 
without an accompanying manifest or shipping paper (where required in 
place of a manifest), and any part of the shipment consists of any PCB 
waste regulated for disposal, then the owner or operator of the 
commercial storage or disposal facility shall attempt to contact the 
generator, using information supplied by the transporter, to obtain a 
manifest or to return the PCB waste.
    (b) If the owner or operator of the commercial storage or disposal 
facility cannot contact the generator of the PCB waste, he shall notify 
the Regional Administrator of the EPA region in which his facility is 
located of the unmanifested PCB waste so that the Regional Administrator 
can determine whether further actions are required before the owner or 
operator may store or dispose of the unmanifested PCB waste.
    (c) Within 15 days after receiving the unmanifested PCB waste, the 
owner or operator shall prepare and submit a report to the Regional 
Administrator for the Region in which the commercial storage or disposal 
facility is located and to the Regional Administrator for the Region in 
which the PCB waste originated, if known. The report may be submitted on 
EPA Form 8700-13B, or by a written letter designated ``Unmanifested 
Waste Report.'' The report shall include the following information:
    (1) The EPA identification number, name, and address of the PCB 
commercial storage or disposal facility.
    (2) The date the commercial storage or disposal facility received 
the unmanifested PCB waste.
    (3) The EPA identification number, name, and address of the 
generator and transporter, if available.
    (4) A description of the type and quantity of the unmanifested PCB 
waste received at the facility.
    (5) A brief explanation of why the waste was unmanifested, if known.
    (6) The disposition made of the unmanifested waste by the commercial 
storage or disposal facility, including:
    (i) If the waste was stored or disposed by that facility, was the 
generator identified and was a manifest subsequently supplied.
    (ii) If the waste was sent back to the generator, why and when.
