				intended for ultimate disposal at a licensed low-level radioactive waste land
				disposal facility must prepare a manifest reflecting information requested on
				applicable NRC Forms 540 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest [Shipping
				Paper]) and 541 (Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest [Container and Waste
				Description]) and, if necessary, on applicable NRC Form 542 (Uniform Low-Level
				Radioactive Waste Manifest [Manifest Index and Regional Compact Tabulation]). NRC
				Forms 540 and 540A must be completed and must physically accompany the pertinent
				low-level waste shipment. Upon agreement between shipper and consignee, NRC Forms
				541 and 541A and 542 and 542A may be completed, transmitted, and stored in
				electronic media with the capability for producing legible, accurate, and complete
				records on the respective forms. For guidance in completing these forms, refer to

				appendix may be legible carbon copies, photocopies, or computer printouts that
				reproduce the data in the format of the uniform manifest. NRC Forms 540, 540A, 541,
				541A, 542, and 542A, and the accompanying instructions, in hard copy, may be
				obtained from the Office of the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
				Commission, Washington, DC 20555, telephone (301) 415-5877. This appendix includes
				information requirements of the Department of Transportation. Information on
				hazardous, medical, or other waste, required to meet Environmental Protection Agency
				(EPA) regulations, is not addressed in this section, and must be provided on the
				required EPA forms. However, the required EPA forms must accompany the Uniform
				Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest required by this part. Licensees are not
				required by the Department to comply with the manifesting requirements of this part
				when they ship:
3.55.1.1.1 LLW for processing and
				expect its return (i.e. for storage under their license) prior to disposal at a

3.55.1.1.2 LLW that is being returned to the
				licensee who is the "waste generator" or "generator," as defined in this part;
				or
3.55.1.1.3 Radioactively contaminated
				material to a "waste processor" that becomes the processor's "residual waste."
