Dear Ms. Fox:
This is in response to your letter dated April 11, 2000, requesting clarification on the hazardous waste
manifest requirements under § 172.205(c) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether it is permissible for the shipper/generator to prepare,
sign and date a manifest in accordance with 40 CFR Part 262 at the time it is offered for transportation,
even though the initial carrier may not sign and date the manifest to accept the waste until three or four
days later.
Section 172.205(c) requires that the shipper/generator sign and date the manifest at the time the
shipment is offered for transportation and the initial carrier at the time the shipment is accepted. The
HMR do not prohibit the use of different shipper/generator and initial carrier dates on the manifest form.
The Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (EPA Form 8700-22 and 8700-22A) is required by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Therefore, you should contact your EPA regional office or
state environmental office or EPA's RCRA Hotline at 800-424-9346 regarding different
shipper/generator and initial carrier dates on the manifest.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
man Bullo

Subject: Hazardous waste manifest
Dear Mr. Muzzullo
The DOT regulations at 49 CFR 172.205(c) state that the original copy of the
manifest must be dated by, and bear the handwritten signature of, the person
(1) The shipper (gencrator) of the waste at the time it is offered for transportation, anc
representing:
(2) The initial carrier accepting the waste for transportation.
Question:
Is the shipper (generator) at the time it is offered for transportation, allowed
initial carrier may not accept the waste until three or four days later? In: the above
to prepare, sign and date the manifest in accordance with 40 CFR Part 262, although the
scenario, the date the generator signed the manifest and the date the initial carrier signed
the manifest would differ.
Are two different dates acceptable?
Your clarification on this issue of different dates on the manifest would be greatly
appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daniel G. Fox
