10. (10) Conduct an investigation under § 236.537 (relating to nonacknowledgment), for a shipment or part of a shipment for which acknowledgment of receipt has not been received within the time set forth in § 236.537.
(c) If the broker repackages, processes, incinerates, solidifies, treats, evaporates or performs another process which results in the generation of a new waste or waste form, the broker shall comply with the generator requirements of § 236.533 (relating to generator requirements), including preparation and implementation of a quality assurance/quality control program, waste preparation and preparation of a new manifest. If the broker consolidates prepackaged waste into one shipment but does not generate a new waste or waste form, he may prepare a new manifest under § 236.533, or he may combine the several manifests of the consolidated shipments.
