direct the policies of the healthcare facility, whether by the ownership of
stock, voting rights, or otherwise, except that contractors who operate
healthcare facilities on behalf of a different person as defined in Section

considered to "control" the healthcare facilities, or has a contractual or
other documented business relationship whereby the receiving healthcare
facility supplies pharmaceuticals to the very small quantity generator
healthcare facility;
(2) is
operating under Sections
R315-266-500 through
R315-266-510 for the management
of its potentially creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals;
(3) manages the potentially creditable
hazardous waste pharmaceuticals that it receives from off site in compliance

(4) keeps records of the potentially
creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals shipments it receives from off site
for three years from the date that the shipment is received.

creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals to a reverse distributor.

(i) the
confirmation of delivery; and
(ii)
the shipping papers prepared in accordance with 49 CFR part 172 subpart C, if
applicable.

automatically during any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated
activity, or as requested by the director.
(3) Records shall be readily available upon
request by an inspector.
(f) Response to spills of potentially
creditable hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at healthcare facilities. A
healthcare facility shall immediately contain any spills of potentially
