2050-AG62 201504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2050 Solid Waste and Emergency Response SWER 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Rulemaking on the Definition of Solid Waste

On January 13, 2015, EPA revised several recycling-related provisions associated with the definition of solid waste used to determine hazardous waste regulation under subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The purpose of these revisions is to ensure that the hazardous secondary materials recycling regulations, as implemented, encourage reclamation in a way that does not result in increased risk to human health and the environment from hazardous secondary material.
