The exception report must shall include:

(b) A cover letter signed by the generator or his authorized representative explaining the efforts taken to locate the hazardous waste and the results of those efforts.

(B) A generator of greater than one hundred kilograms but less than one thousand kilograms of hazardous waste in a calendar month who does not receive a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within sixty days after the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter must shall submit to Ohio EPA a legible copy of the manifest, with some indication that the generator has not received confirmation of delivery.

[Comment: The submittal to Ohio EPA need only be a legible handwritten or typed note on the manifest itself, or on an attached sheet of paper, stating that the return copy was not received.]

(1) The copy of the manifest received by the generator must shall have the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the alternate facility in place of the signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility; and
