Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024
(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the transporter must deliver the entire quantity of hazardous waste which he or she has accepted from a generator or a transporter to:
(1) The
designated facility listed on the manifest; or
(2) The alternate designated facility, if the
hazardous waste cannot be delivered to the designated facility because an
emergency prevents delivery; or
(3)
The next designated transporter; or
(4) The place outside the United States
designated by the generator.
(b)
(1)
Emergency condition. If the hazardous waste cannot be delivered in accordance
with paragraph (a)(1), (2), or (4) of this section because of an emergency
condition other than rejection of the waste by the designated facility or
alternate designated facility, then the transporter must contact the generator
for further instructions and must revise the manifest according to the
generator's instructions.
(2)
Transporters without agency authority. If the hazardous waste is not delivered
to the next designated transporter in accordance with paragraph (a)(3) of this
section, and the current transporter is without contractual authorization from
the generator to act as the generator's agent with respect to transporter
additions or substitutions, then the current transporter must contact the
generator for further instructions prior to making any revisions to the
transporter designations on the manifest. The current transporter may
thereafter make such revisions if:
(i) The
hazardous waste is not delivered in accordance with paragraph (a)(3) of this
section because of an emergency condition; or
(ii) The current transporter proposes to
change the transporter(s) designated on the manifest by the generator, or to
add a new transporter during transportation, to respond to an emergency, or for
purposes of transportation efficiency, convenience, or safety; and
(iii) The generator authorizes the
revision.
(3)
Transporters with agency authority. If the hazardous waste is not delivered to
the next designated transporter in accordance with paragraph (a)(3) of this
section, and the current transporter has authorization from the generator to
act as the generator's agent, then the current transporter may change the
transporter(s) designated on the manifest, or add a new transporter, during
transportation without the generator's prior, explicit approval, provided that:
(i) The current transporter is authorized by
a contractual provision that provides explicit agency authority for the
transporter to make such transporter changes on behalf of the
generator;
(ii) The transporter
enters in Item 14 of each manifest for which such a change is made, the
following statement of its agency authority: "Contract retained by generator
confers agency authority on initial transporter to add or substitute additional
transporters on generator's behalf"; and
(iii) The change in designated transporters
is necessary to respond to an emergency, or for purposes of transportation
efficiency, convenience, or safety.
(4) Generator liability. The grant by a
generator of authority to a transporter to act as the agent of the generator
with respect to changes to transporter designations under paragraph (b)(3) of
this section does not affect the generator's liabilit y or responsibility for
complying with any applicable requirement under this chapter, or grant any
additional authority to the transporter to act on behalf of the
generator.
(c) If hazardous waste is rejected by the designated facility while the transporter is on the facility's premises, then the transporter must obtain the following:
(1) For a partial load rejection or for
regulated quantities of container residues, a copy of the original manifest
that includes the facility's date and signature, and the Manifest Tracking
Number of the new manifest that will accompany the shipment, and a description
of the partial rejection or container residue in the discrepancy block of the
original manifest. The transporter must retain a copy of this manifest in
accordance with section 263.22, and give the remaining copies of the original
manifest to the rejecting designated facility. If the transporter is forwarding
the rejected part of the shipment or a regulated container residue to an
alternate facility or returning it to the generator, the transporter must
obtain a new manifest to accompany the shipment, and the new manifest must
include all of the information required in sections 264.72(e)(1) through (6) or
(f)(1) through (6) or 265.72(e)(1) through (6) or (f)(1) through (6).
(2) For a full load rejection that will be
taken back by the transporter, a copy of the original manifest that includes
the rejecting facility's signature and date attesting to the rejection, the
description of the rejection in the discrepancy block of the manifest, and the
name, address, phone number, and Identification Number for the alternate
facility or generator to whom the shipment must be delivered. The transporter
must retain a copy of the manifest in accordance with section 263.22, and give
a copy of the manifest containing this information to the rejecting designated
facility. If the original manifest is not used, then the transporter must
obtain a new manifest for the shipment and comply with sections 264.72(e)(1)
through (6) or 265.72(e)(1) through (6).
