Title: Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials That Are Solid Wastes 
Abstract: The Agency is defining which non-hazardous secondary materials burned in combustion units are solid wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This in turn will assist the Agency in determining which non-hazardous secondary materials will be subject to either the emissions standards under sections 112 or 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). If the secondary material is considered a "solid waste," the unit that burns the non-hazardous secondary material would be subject to the CAA section 129 requirements. The meaning of "solid waste" as defined under RCRA is important because CAA section 129, which regulates emissions from sources that combust solid wastes, states that the term "solid waste" shall have the meaning "established by the Administrator [pursuant to RCRA]."
