complied with the waste minimization requirements. The Generator's
Certification
[[Page 247]]
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 248]]
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.
