Based on a good faith effort, available process knowledge, or other hazard information (radiological, toxicity, or biological) shall be provided to the receiving laboratories prior to shipment of the samples unless prior arrangements have been made regarding sample receipt. Laboratories shall determine their ability to receive the samples. Laboratories shall have the appropriate capabilities, procedures, and licenses to receive samples from a DOE site. After receipt of any samples, the laboratories shall assume the responsibility and liability for the safe and compliance management of all samples, including regulatory storage and disposal of all samples and associated derived wastes. Some DOE sites permit the return of sample residuals and prior arrangements must be established prior to the receipt of samples. In most cases, derived wastes must be disposed by the laboratory.
