   2. (2) Sign and date the facility certification;
   3. (3) Submit to the electronic manifest system a final copy of the manifest for data processing purposes; and
   4. (4) Satisfy requirements established and enforced by the federal government to pay the appropriate per-manifest fee to EPA for each manifest submitted to the electronic manifest system, subject to the fee determination methodology, payment methods, dispute procedures, sanctions, and other fee requirements that are specified in 40 CFR Part 264, Subpart FF.

2. B. Applicability of E-manifest System and User Fee Requirements — Facilities Receiving State-Only Regulated Waste.
