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 the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act are also certifying that they have complied with the waste minimization requirements. The generator's certification 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 proper shipping name and are classified, packed, marked, and labeled, or placarded, or both, 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 environmental protection agency 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 or 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 preprinted.
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 United States customs when exporting the waste across United States 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 subsection 2 of section 33.1-24-05-39) 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 treatment, storage, or disposal facility cannot accept, or container residues, which are residues that exceed the quantity limits for "empty" containers set forth in subsections 3, 4, and 5 of section 33.1-24-02-07.
2. For rejected loads and residues (subsections 4, 5, and 6 of section 33.1-24-05-39 or the applicable requirements of subsection 5 of section 33.1-24-06-16), check the appropriate box if the shipment is a rejected load (for example, rejected by the designated or alternate facility, or both, 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 (for example, states in which the environmental protection agency administers the hazardous waste management program) who cannot resolve significant differences in quantity or type within fifteen 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 (subsection 3 of section 33.1-24-05-39 and the applicable requirements of subsection 5 of section 33.1-24-06-16).
4. Owners or operators of facilities located in authorized states (for example, those states that have received authorization from the environmental protection agency 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 environmental protection agency identification number of the alternate facility which the rejecting treatment, storage, or disposal facility 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 treatment, storage, or disposal facility 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 treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
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 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 treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
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 reshipped under a new manifest, to be initiated and signed by the rejecting treatment, storage, or disposal facility as offeror of the shipment.
