    1. Generators may enter any special handling or shipment-specific 
information necessary for the proper management or tracking of the 
materials under the generator's or other handler's business processes, 
such as waste profile numbers, container codes, bar codes, or response 
guide numbers. Generators also may use this space to enter additional 
descriptive information about their shipped materials, such as chemical 
names, constituent percentages, physical state, or specific gravity of 
wastes identified with volume units in Item 12.
    2. This space may be used to record limited types of federally 
required information for which there is no specific space provided on 
the manifest, including any alternate facility designations; the 
manifest tracking number of the original manifest for rejected wastes 
and residues that are re-shipped under a second manifest; and the 
specification of PCB waste descriptions and PCB out-of-service dates 
required under 40 CFR 761.207. Generators, however, cannot be required 
to enter information in this space to meet state regulatory 
requirements.

              Item 15. Generator's/Offeror's Certifications

    1. The generator must read, sign, and date the waste minimization 
certification statement. In signing the waste minimization certification 
statement, those generators who have not been exempted by statute or 
regulation from the duty to make a waste minimization certification 
under section 3002(b) of RCRA are also certifying that they have 
complied with the waste minimization requirements. The Generator's 
Certification

[[Page 246]]

also contains the required attestation that the shipment has been 
properly prepared and is in proper condition for transportation (the 
shipper's certification). The content of the shipper's certification 
statement is as follows: ``I hereby declare that the contents of this 
consignment are fully and accurately described above by the proper 
shipping name, and are classified, packaged, marked, and labeled/
placarded, and are in all respects in proper condition for transport by 
highway according to applicable international and national governmental 
regulations. If export shipment and I am the Primary Exporter, I certify 
that the contents of this consignment conform to the terms of the 
attached EPA Acknowledgment of Consent.'' When a party other than the 
generator prepares the shipment for transportation, this party may also 
sign the shipper's certification statement as the offeror of the 
shipment.
    2. Generator or Offeror personnel may preprint the words, ``On 
behalf of'' in the signature block or may hand write this statement in 
the signature block prior to signing the generator/offeror 
certification, to indicate that the individual signs as the employee or 
agent of the named principal.
    Note: All of the above information except the handwritten signature 
required in Item 15 may be pre-printed.

            II. Instructions for International Shipment Block

                    Item 16. International Shipments

    For export shipments, the primary exporter must check the export 
box, and enter the point of exit (city and state) from the United 
States. For import shipments, the importer must check the import box and 
enter the point of entry (city and state) into the United States. For 
exports, the transporter must sign and date the manifest to indicate the 
day the shipment left the United States. Transporters of hazardous waste 
shipments must deliver a copy of the manifest to the U.S. Customs when 
exporting the waste across U.S. borders.

                   III. Instructions for Transporters

            Item 17. Transporters' Acknowledgments of Receipt

    Enter the name of the person accepting the waste on behalf of the 
first transporter. That person must acknowledge acceptance of the waste 
described on the manifest by signing and entering the date of receipt. 
Only one signature per transportation company is required. Signatures 
are not required to track the movement of wastes in and out of transfer 
facilities, unless there is a change of custody between transporters.
    If applicable, enter the name of the person accepting the waste on 
behalf of the second transporter. That person must acknowledge 
acceptance of the waste described on the manifest by signing and 
entering the date of receipt.
    Note: Transporters carrying imports, who are acting as importers, 
may have responsibilities to enter information in the International 
Shipments Block. Transporters carrying exports may also have 
responsibilities to enter information in the International Shipments 
Block. See above instructions for Item 16.

  IV. Instructions for Owners and Operators of Treatment, Storage, and 
                           Disposal Facilities

                          Item 18. Discrepancy

                 Item 18a. Discrepancy Indication Space

    1. The authorized representative of the designated (or alternate) 
facility's owner or operator must note in this space any discrepancies 
between the waste described on the Manifest and the waste actually 
received at the facility. Manifest discrepancies are: significant 
differences (as defined by Sec. Sec. 264.72(b) and 265.72(b)) between 
the quantity or type of hazardous waste designated on the manifest or 
shipping paper, and the quantity and type of hazardous waste a facility 
actually receives, rejected wastes, which may be a full or partial 
shipment of hazardous waste that the TSDF cannot accept, or container 
residues, which are residues that exceed the quantity limits for 
``empty'' containers set forth in 40 CFR 261.7(b).
    2. For rejected loads and residues (40 CFR 264.72(d), (e), and (f), 
or 40 CFR 265.72(d), (e), or (f)), check the appropriate box if the 
shipment is a rejected load (i.e., rejected by the designated and/or 
alternate facility and is sent to an alternate facility or returned to 
the generator) or a regulated residue that cannot be removed from a 
container. Enter the reason for the rejection or the inability to remove 
the residue and a description of the waste. Also, reference the manifest 
tracking number for any additional manifests being used to track the 
rejected waste or residue shipment on the original manifest. Indicate 
the original manifest tracking number in Item 14, the Special Handling 
Block and Additional Information Block of the additional manifests.
    3. Owners or operators of facilities located in unauthorized States 
(i.e., states in which the U.S. EPA administers the hazardous waste 
management program) who cannot resolve significant differences in 
quantity or type within 15 days of receiving the waste must submit to 
their Regional Administrator a letter with a copy of the Manifest at 
issue describing the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it (40 CFR 
264.72(c) and 265.72(c)).
    4. Owners or operators of facilities located in authorized States 
(i.e., those States that

[[Page 247]]

have received authorization from the U.S. EPA to administer the 
hazardous waste management program) should contact their State agency 
for information on where to report discrepancies involving ``significant 
differences'' to state officials.

  Item 18b. Alternate Facility (or Generator) for Receipt of Full Load 
                               Rejections

    Enter the name, address, phone number, and EPA Identification Number 
of the Alternate Facility which the rejecting TSDF has designated, after 
consulting with the generator, to receive a fully rejected waste 
shipment. In the event that a fully rejected shipment is being returned 
to the generator, the rejecting TSDF may enter the generator's site 
information in this space. This field is not to be used to forward 
partially rejected loads or residue waste shipments.

          Item 18c. Alternate Facility (or Generator) Signature

    The authorized representative of the alternate facility (or the 
generator in the event of a returned shipment) must sign and date this 
field of the form to acknowledge receipt of the fully rejected wastes or 
residues identified by the initial TSDF.

         Item 19. Hazardous Waste Report Management Method Codes

    Enter the most appropriate Hazardous Waste Report Management Method 
code for each waste listed in Item 9. The Hazardous Waste Report 
Management Method code is to be entered by the first treatment, storage, 
or disposal facility (TSDF) that receives the waste and is the code that 
best describes the way in which the waste is to be managed when received 
by the TSDF.

Item 20. Designated Facility Owner or Operator Certification of Receipt 
                      (Except As Noted in Item 18a)

    Enter the name of the person receiving the waste on behalf of the 
owner or operator of the facility. That person must acknowledge receipt 
or rejection of the waste described on the Manifest by signing and 
entering the date of receipt or rejection where indicated. Since the 
Facility Certification acknowledges receipt of the waste except as noted 
in the Discrepancy Space in Item 18a, the certification should be signed 
for both waste receipt and waste rejection, with the rejection being 
noted and described in the space provided in Item 18a. Fully rejected 
wastes may be forwarded or returned using Item 18b after consultation 
with the generator. Enter the name of the person accepting the waste on 
behalf of the owner or operator of the alternate facility or the 
original generator. That person must acknowledge receipt or rejection of 
the waste described on the Manifest by signing and entering the date 
they received or rejected the waste in Item 18c. Partially rejected 
wastes and residues must be re-shipped under a new manifest, to be 
initiated and signed by the rejecting TSDF as offeror of the shipment.
