Requested Mandatory Manifest Corrections
EPA and the States utilize the e-Manifest data for a variety of reasons. In the event an error is discovered, the state or EPA may contact you to correct the error. Generators, transporters and TSDFs will have 30-days to submit mandatory corrections electronically to the e-Manifest system.
Exception and Discrepancy Reporting Time Frame Changes
Large Quantity Generators will now have additional time to complete the exception reporting requirements found in 262.42(a) for missing final manifest copies.
EPA has given generators 20 days, 5 more than previous regulations, to address discrepancies with their TSDF, before a notification report is required to be submitted.
New Uniform Manifest Format
EPA is trying to save paper too, which is why the new 2025 uniform manifest will only have 4 pages. The existing page 3 (Designated facility copy) will be eliminated since it is redundant with what is stored in the e-Manifest system. The new 4-page format will consist of:
- Page 1 (top copy): Designated facility or U.S. Exporter to the EPA’s e-Manifest system
- Page 2: Designated Facility to Generator
- Page 3: Transporter facility copy
- Page 4: (bottom copy): Generator’s initial copy
Look for more emails from Republic outlining the manifest changes.
*EPA is not requiring Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs) to register, as use of the Manifest is not required. VSQGs that use the manifest to ship hazardous waste may register with EPA or continue to use COR to secure copies of their final manifest.
