Sec. 262.54  Special manifest requirements.

    A primary exporter must comply with the manifest requirements of 40 
CFR 262.20 through 262.23 except that:
    (a) In lieu of the name, site address and EPA ID number of the 
designated permitted facility, the primary exporter must enter the name 
and site address of the consignee;
    (b) In lieu of the name, site address and EPA ID number of a 
permitted alternate facility, the primary exporter may enter the name 
and site address of any alternate consignee.
    (c) In Special Handling Instructions and Additional Information, the 
primary exporter must identify the point of departure from the United 
States;
    (d) The following statement must be added to the end of the first 
sentence of the certification set forth in Item 16 of the Uniform 
Hazardous Waste Manifest Form: ``and conforms to the terms of the 
attached EPA Acknowledgment of Consent'';
    (e) In lieu of the requirements of Sec. 262.21, the primary exporter 
must obtain the manifest form from the primary exporter's State if that 
State supplies the manifest form and requires its use. If the primary 
exporter's State does not supply the manifest form, the primary exporter 
may obtain a manifest form from any source.
    (f) The primary exporter must require the consignee to confirm in 
writing the delivery of the hazardous waste to that facility and to 
describe any significant discrepancies (as defined in 40 CFR 264.72(a)) 
between the manifest and the shipment. A copy of the manifest signed by 
such facility may be used to confirm delivery of the hazardous waste.
    (g) In lieu of the requirements of Sec. 262.20(d), where a shipment 
cannot be delivered for any reason to the designated or alternate 
consignee, the primary exporter must:
    (1) Renotify EPA of a change in the conditions of the original 
notification to allow shipment to a new consignee in accordance with Sec. 
262.53(c) and obtain an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent prior to delivery; 
or
    (2) Instruct the transporter to return the waste to the primary 
exporter in the United States or designate another facility within the 
United States; and
    (3) Instruct the transporter to revise the manifest in accordance 
with the primary exporter's instructions.
    (h) The primary exporter must attach a copy of the EPA 
Acknowledgment of Consent to the shipment to the manifest which must 
accompany the hazardous waste shipment. For exports by rail or water 
(bulk shipment), the primary exporter must provide the transporter with 
an EPA Acknowledgment of Consent which must accompany the hazardous 
waste but which need not be attached to the manifest except that for 
exports by water (bulk shipment) the primary exporter must attach the 
copy of the EPA Acknowledgment of Consent to the shipping paper.
    (i) The primary exporter shall provide the transporter with an 
additional copy of the manifest for delivery to the U.S. Customs 
official at the point the hazardous waste leaves the United States in 
accordance with Sec. 263.20(g)(4).
