(a)

(1) A large quantity generator who does not receive a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 35 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter shall contact the transporter, or the owner or operator of the designated facility, or both, to determine the status of the hazardous waste.

(2) A large quantity generator shall submit an Exception Report to the director if the generator has not received a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 45 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter. The Exception Report shall include:

(i) a legible copy of the manifest that the generator does not have confirmation of delivery; and

(ii) a cover letter signed by the generator or the generator's authorized representative explaining the efforts taken to locate the hazardous waste and the results of those efforts.

(b) A small quantity generator of hazardous waste who does not receive a copy of the manifest with the handwritten signature of the owner or operator of the designated facility within 60 days of the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter shall submit a legible copy of the manifest, with an indication that the generator has not received confirmation of delivery, to the director.

(1) The submission to the director need only be a handwritten or typed note on the manifest itself, or on an attached sheet of paper, stating that the return copy was not received.

For purposes of Subsection R315-262-42(a) or R315-262-42(b) for a shipment forwarding the waste to an alternate facility by a designated facility:

(1) The copy of the manifest received by the generator 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
