1 <br /> MANIFEST REGULATIONS <br /> FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS <br /> (by Box # on the manifest form) <br /> INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS: <br /> This document contains questions that apply to regulations regarding both the use of the <br /> Federal Manifest (and the California manifest), as of September 5, 2006 version. Where <br /> applicable, questions have been forwarded to U. S. EPA for interpretation. <br /> BOX 6/7, TRANSPORTER COMPANY NAME <br /> Transporters only should sign once per manifest. How does that apply to a national <br /> company with multiple subdivisions? How many identification (ID) numbers and <br /> signatures should be put on the manifest? <br /> Only one signature per transporter company is required, not one signature per driver. In <br /> California, if each subdivision is a different corporate entity, then they are not allowed on <br /> one registration and would be separate registered transporters needing to sign for each <br /> different ID number. No change to the regulation is required. <br /> BOX 9a. HM <br /> Is the information being reported in column 9a a new requirement? The prior <br /> California manifest did not have this column. <br /> Column 9a is a column for marking if the material/waste being shipped is a hazardous <br /> material (waste) or not. The information being collected is not a new requirement, it's just <br /> that the previous California version of the manifest did not fully comply with this U. S. <br /> Department of Transportation (DOT) requirement. The U.S. Environmental Protection <br /> Agency (EPA) version did. <br /> When do you need to put an "X" in Column 9a? <br /> An"X" should be placed in Column 9a when DOT regulates the waste type and quantity as <br /> a hazardous material, and the manifest is used to ship both DOT regulated and non-DOT <br /> regulated wastes. If the waste is a Reportable Quantity, the generator can use "RQ" instead <br /> of"X" in Item 9a. <br /> For a shipment with Reportable Quantity, is it acceptable or recommended to use <br /> "RQ" in Box 9a in lieu of an "X" or check marls? <br /> Yes. According to both 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 40 CFR either"RQ" or <br /> "X" may be entered in the HM column (box 9A) if the material or waste being shipped is a <br /> reportable quantity. <br /> 93 of 98 <br />
