(d) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the manifest to the generator;

(e) Comply with the following requirements for handling paper manifests:

(i) Transmit the top copy (page 1) and any continuation sheets to the electronic manifest system for data entry and processing by either transmitting an image file of page 1 of the manifest and any continuation sheet, or transmitting both a data file and the image file corresponding to page 1 of the manifest and any continuation sheet;

(ii) Make the transmittal required by §B(1)(e)(i) of this regulation within 30 days of the date of delivery to the facility; and

(iii) Submit copies to the electronic manifest system by directing the copies to the electronic mail submission address specified on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's electronic manifest program website's directory of services.

(f) Retain at the facility a copy of each manifest for at least 3 years from the date of delivery; and

(g) For hazardous waste subject to 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart H, from a foreign source:

(i) Additionally, list the relevant consent number from consent documentation supplied by EPA to the facility for each waste listed on the manifest, matched to the relevant list number for the waste from block 9b, using, if additional space is needed, one or more continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700"22A); and

(ii) Send a copy of the manifest within 30 days of delivery to EPA using the addresses listed in 40 CFR § 262.82(e) until the facility can submit such a copy to the e-manifest system in accordance with §B(1)(e) of this regulation.

(2) If a facility receives, from a rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter, hazardous waste which is accompanied by a shipping paper containing all the information required on the manifest (excluding the EPA identification numbers, generator's certification, and signatures), the owner or operator, or the owner or operator's agent, shall:

(a) Sign and date each copy of the shipping paper to certify that the hazardous waste covered by the shipping paper was received;

(b) Note any significant discrepancies in the shipping paper as defined in §C(1)) of this regulation on each copy of the shipping paper;

(e) Retain at the facility a copy of each shipping paper and manifest for at least 3 years from the date of delivery.

(3) Shipments of Hazardous Waste Initiated from a Facility.

(a) If a facility owner or operator initiates a shipment of hazardous waste from a facility, the facility owner or operator shall comply with the requirements of COMAR 26.13.03.

(b) The provisions of COMAR 26.13.03-3-.03-10 are applicable to the on-site accumulation of hazardous waste by generators, and therefore only apply to the owner or operator of a facility who is shipping hazardous waste that the owner or operator:

(i) Generated at the facility; or

(ii) Consolidated at the facility under the provisions of COMAR 26.13.03.11-3 that apply to wastes accepted from off-site generators that are under control of the same person that controls the facility.

(4) After receiving a shipment of hazardous waste from a foreign source subject to 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart H, the owner or operator of a facility shall comply with the requirements of 40 CFR § 264.71(d) regarding the waste tracking system for imports and exports that is maintained by EPA under authority that is not delegated to the states.

(5) A facility shall determine whether:

(a) Under the consignment state's hazardous waste program, the consignment state regulates as hazardous for a shipment any additional wastes beyond those regulated federally; and

(b) The generator state, consignment state, or both, require the facility to submit any copies of the manifest to these states.

(6) Legal Equivalence to Paper Manifests. For the purposes of COMAR 26.13.01-.10:

(a) An electronic manifest that is obtained, completed, and transmitted in accordance with COMAR 26.13.03.04A(1)(b), and used in accordance with this section instead of using the paper manifest form, is the legal equivalent of paper manifest forms bearing handwritten signatures and satisfies for all purposes any requirement to obtain, complete, sign, provide, use, or retain a manifest;

(b) A requirement for the owner or operator of a facility to sign a manifest or manifest certification by hand, or to obtain a handwritten signature, is satisfied by signing with or obtaining a valid and enforceable electronic signature within the meaning of COMAR 26.13.03.04E-2;

(c) A requirement to give, provide, send, forward, or return to another person a copy of the manifest is satisfied when a copy of an electronic manifest is transmitted to the other person;

(d) A requirement for a manifest to accompany a hazardous waste shipment is satisfied when a copy of an electronic manifest is accessible during transportation and forwarded to the person or persons who are scheduled to receive delivery of the waste shipment;

(e) A requirement for a facility owner or operator to keep or retain a copy of a manifest is satisfied by retention of the facility's electronic manifest copy in the facility's account on the national electronic manifest system if the copy is readily available for viewing and production if requested by an inspector representing the Department or EPA; and

(f) If a facility owner or operator is unable to produce an electronic manifest for inspection in accordance with §B(6)(e) of this regulation, the owner or operator is not considered to be in violation of the requirement to have a copy of the manifest readily available if the owner or operator can demonstrate that the inability to produce the electronic manifest is due exclusively to a technical difficulty with the electronic manifest system for which the owner or operator bears no responsibility.

(7) Accessing the Electronic Manifest System. A facility owner or operator may participate in the electronic manifest system either by accessing the electronic manifest system from the owner or operator's own electronic equipment, or by accessing the electronic manifest system from portable equipment brought to the owner's or operator's site by the transporter who delivers the waste shipment to the facility.

(8) Special Procedures Applicable to Replacement Manifests. If a facility receives hazardous waste that is accompanied by a paper replacement manifest for a manifest that was originated electronically, the following procedures apply to the delivery of the hazardous waste by the final transporter:

(a) Upon delivery of the hazardous waste to the designated facility, the owner or operator shall sign and date each copy of the paper replacement manifest by hand in Item 20 (Designated Facility Certification of Receipt) and note any discrepancies in Item 18 (Discrepancy Indication Space) of the paper replacement manifest;

(b) The owner or operator of the facility shall give back to the final transporter one copy of the paper replacement manifest;

(c) Within 30 days of delivery of the waste to the designated facility, the owner or operator of the facility shall send one signed and dated copy of the paper replacement manifest to the generator, and send an additional signed and dated copy of the paper replacement manifest to the electronic manifest system; and

(d) The owner or operator of the facility shall retain at the facility one copy of the paper replacement manifest for at least 3 years from the date of delivery.

(9) Special Procedures Applicable to Electronic Signature Methods Undergoing Tests. If an owner or operator using an electronic manifest signs this manifest electronically using an electronic signature method which is undergoing pilot or demonstration tests aimed at demonstrating the practicality or legal dependability of the signature method, then the owner or operator shall:

(a) Also sign with an ink signature the facility's certification of receipt or discrepancies on the printed copy of the manifest provided by the transporter; and

(b) Upon executing the owner or operator's ink signature on the printed copy of the manifest provided by the transporter, the owner or operator shall retain this original copy among the facility's records for at least 3 years from the date of delivery of the waste.

(10) Electronic Manifest Signatures. An electronic signature method used in connection with the electronic manifest system is acceptable only if:

(a) Use of the method results in the creation of a legally valid and enforceable signature under applicable EPA and other federal requirements pertaining to electronic signatures; and

(b) The method has been designed and implemented in a manner that EPA considers to be as cost-effective and practical as possible for the users of the manifest.

(11) Post-Receipt Manifest Data Corrections.

(a) After a facility has certified to the receipt of hazardous wastes by signing Item 20 of the manifest, any post-receipt data corrections may be submitted at any time by any interested person shown on the manifest, such as a waste handler.

(b) An interested person shall make all corrections to manifest data by electronic submission, either by directly entering corrected data to the web-based service provided in the electronic manifest system for corrections, or by an upload of a data file containing data corrections relating to one or more previously submitted manifests.

(c) A person submitting a correction shall include the following information as part of the submission:

(i) The manifest tracking number and date of receipt by the facility of each original manifest for which data are being corrected;

(ii) The item number of each original manifest that is the subject of a submitted correction; and

(iii) For each item number with corrected data, the data previously entered and the corresponding data as corrected by the correction submission.

(d) A person submitting a correction:

(i) Shall include as part of the submission a statement that the person submitting the corrections certifies that, to the best of the person's knowledge or belief, the corrections that are included in the submission will cause the information reported about the previously received hazardous wastes to be true, accurate, and complete;

(ii) Shall execute the certification statement with a valid electronic signature; and

(iii) May submit a batch upload of data corrections under one certification statement.

Agency Note: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency assesses an owner or operator who is a user of the electronic manifest system a user fee as prescribed in 40 CFR § 264.311 and determined in 40 CFR § 1312 . EPA periodically updates the schedule of user fees and publishes the updated fee schedule to ensure that the e-manifest user community is aware of the revisions, as provided in 40 CFR § 264.1313. An owner or operator subject to these user fees is required by EPA to make user fee payments in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR § 264.1314, subject to the informal fee dispute resolution process of 40 CFR § 264.1316, and subject to the sanctions for delinquent payments under 40 CFR § 264.1315.
