U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 6963. Cooperation with Environmental Protection Agency
(a) General rule
All Federal agencies shall assist the Administrator in carrying
out his functions under this chapter and shall promptly make
available all requested information concerning past or present
Agency waste management practices and past or present Agency owned,
leased, or operated solid or hazardous waste facilities. This
information shall be provided in such format as may be determined
by the Administrator.
(b) Information relating to energy and materials conservation and
recovery
The Administrator shall collect, maintain, and disseminate
information concerning the market potential of energy and materials
recovered from solid waste, including materials obtained through
source separation, and information concerning the savings potential
of conserving resources contributing to the waste stream. The
Administrator shall identify the regions in which the increased
substitution of such energy for energy derived from fossil fuels
and other sources is most likely to be feasible, and provide
information on the technical and economic aspects of developing
integrated resource conservation or recovery systems which provide
for the recovery of source-separated materials to be recycled or
the conservation of resources. The Administrator shall utilize the
authorities of subsection (a) of this section in carrying out this
subsection.
