changing Section 22.01 as follows:
 
    (415 ILCS 5/22.01)  (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1022.01)
    Sec. 22.01. Manifests for nonhazardous special waste. When
manifests are required by the Board for the shipment of
nonhazardous special waste, the manifests shall consist of
forms prescribed by the Agency. The forms must comply with the
requirements of this Section and may be purchased from a third
party. such manifests shall be identical to manifests required
for the shipment of hazardous waste. Such manifests may be
provided by the Agency, and shall be identical to the manifests
required by the Board for hazardous waste. Generators of
nonhazardous special waste and facilities accepting
nonhazardous special waste are not required to submit copies of
nonhazardous special waste manifests to the Agency; provided,
however, that generators of nonhazardous special waste
containing polychlorinated biphenyls and facilities accepting
nonhazardous special waste containing polychlorinated
biphenyls shall submit copies of nonhazardous special waste
manifests to the Agency for shipments of waste containing
polychlorinated biphenyls. Copies of each manifest shall be
retained for 3 years by generators and facilities, and shall be
available for inspection and copying by the Agency. The Agency
may adopt such procedures for the distribution of copies of
manifests as it deems necessary. Nothing in this Section shall
preclude the Agency from collecting fees under Section 22.8 (g)
of this Act. Generators of nonhazardous special waste shall not
be required to file reports with the Agency regarding the
shipment of nonhazardous special waste within the State of
Illinois; provided, however, that the Board may require
generators of nonhazardous special waste to file annual reports
with the Agency regarding the shipment of nonhazardous special
waste out-of-state. Commencing February 1, 1992, and annually
thereafter, facilities accepting nonhazardous special waste
shall file a report with the Agency, specifying the quantities
and disposition of nonhazardous special waste accepted for
treatment, storage or disposal during the previous calendar
year.
    Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted or construed
to prohibit any company treating, storing or disposing of
nonhazardous special wastes from requiring manifests to be
submitted to it for such wastes. This Section does not apply to
potentially infectious medical waste.
