e-Manifest Dashboard – When an account user clicks on the "e-Manifest" tab from the Site Dashboard, manifests associated with the account user's site will be displayed. Manifests with a status of "Draft," "Pending," "Scheduled," and "In Transit" will be displayed in the "In Progress" table. Manifests with a status of "Received," "Ready For Signature," or "Signed" will be displayed in the "Received" table.  The actions that can be taken on a manifest at any given time are dependent on the entity acting upon the manifest (generator, transporter, receiving facility, broker), the permissions of the user (viewer, preparer, certifier, site manager), and the current status of the manifest (draft, pending, scheduled, in transit, received, ready for signature, signed).

Only users who have Preparer, Certifier, or Site Manager permissions for the site can create a new manifest by clicking the "Create New Manifest" button at the bottom of the "In Progress" table

<number>

<number>

 

When the "Create New Manifest" button is clicked, the manifest, by default, is given a status of "Draft." The "Draft" status indicates that the manifest is in a draft state and is only visible to the site that is creating the manifest.

Per Section 4B of the Supporting Statement and the reverse side of copy 5 (Generator's Initial Copy), i.e., the generator "Instructions for Completing a Hazardous waste Manifest form," the account user must record the generator's company information in Items 1 thru 5 of the e-manifest. The system populates Item 1 (Generator ID number) of the e-Manifest with the previously selected site ID. If the account user is a receiving facilty and is preparing a manifest for the generator, the facility should click the "Search for Generator" button to begin completion of those sections.

Voluntary field for collecting BR data. e-manifest act mandates that at some point we integrate manifest and BR.

Within the Hazardous Waste Report Management Method Codes section, the designated facilty may provide Biennial Report Information for each waste stream. However, the Biennial Report information is entirely voluntary so the receiving facility is not required under this information collection to enter the source code and form code data. However, the e-Manifest Act mandates that EPA at some point integrate e-Manifest system with the Biennial Report. Thus, collection of source code and form code information will eventually become mandatory for manifest recordkeeping and reporting purposes, but only after EPA adds these elements to the paper manifest form, adjusts this Supporting Statement (EPA Information Collection Request Number 0801.22) accordingly, and provides notice and comment to affected parties regarding the recorkeeping and reporting burden associated with the additions. In the meantime, if the designated facility voluntarily provides the data, the information will enable completion of the required Biennial Report submission for Large Quantity Generators and TSD Facilities easier as this information is required for Biennial Report submissions (See Section 4(b) of the Supporting Statement for EPA Information Collection Request Number 0976.18). Note: If the designated facility elects to provide the Biennial Report information, all of the fields associated with the Biennial Report become required.

Per Section 4B of the Supporting Statement and the reverse side of copy 5 (Generator's Initial Copy), i.e., the generator "Instructions for Completing a Hazardous waste Manifest form" for item 15 of the e-manifest, the account user must sign the generator/offeror statement on the e-Manifest. Note: The account user must have a permission level of "Site Managaer" or "Certifier" to sign the e-manifest.

Once the e-manifest contains all of the information needed for signature, the receiving facility may place the manifest into the "Scheduled" status indicating that the waste is ready for pickup at the generator site by the specified transporter. The account user must click the "Review and Sign" button to initiate the signature process. The generator or offeror will be taken to the "Review" page where he/she can review the manifest. Once the generator/offeror has reviewed the manifest, he/she must click the "Sign" button at the bottom of the page. The account user must certify that the information provided is accurate and complete to the best of his/her knowledge by clicking the "Accept" button. Next, the user will be prompted to provide his/her password and click "Login." One of the five security questions that the account user selected during the user registration process will be displayed. The user must enter the correct answer in the box and click "Answer.“

Per Section 4B of the Supporting Statement and the reverse side of copy 4 (Transporter Copy), i.e., the transporter "Instructions for Completing a Hazardous waste Manifest form," the account user must sign and date Item 17 of the e-manifest to acknowledge acceptance/receipt of the generator's hazardous waste shipment. Note: The account user must have a permission level of "Site Managaer" or "Certifier" to sign the e-manifest.

If more than one transporter is identified on the manifest, the status of the manifest changes from "Scheduled" to "In Transit" once the initial transporter electronically signs the e-Manifest. The transporter's signature indicates that the waste has been picked up at the generator's site by the specified transporter and now is en route to the receiving facility.

Per Section 4B of the Supporting Statement and the reverse side of copy 3 (Designated Facility's Copy), i.e., the receiving facility "Instructions for Completing a Hazardous waste Manifest form," the account user must sign and date Item 20 of the e-Manifest. Note: The account user must have a permission level of "Site Managaer" or "Certifier" to sign the e-manifest.

In the case of electronic, hybrid, and on-behalf-of manifests, the status of the manifest is set to "Ready For Signature" when the last transporter signs the manifest acknowledging receipt of the waste shipment from the generator or another transporter. Once the transporter arrives to the receiving facility, the facility must immediately sign the manifest acknowledging receipt of the shipment from the transporter. The manifest is placed into the "Signed" status once the receiving facility completes the initial signing ceremony and enters the Received Date. This ceremony is initiated by clicking the "Sign e-Manifests" button at the bottom of the e-Manifest Dashboard or the "Sign" button on the "Review and Sign" screen. Note: The manifest is not complete at this time and may be missing information such as Management Method Codes and Discrepancy information. Once the manifest is signed and it passes all validations needed, the status will be set to "Sign-Completed.“
