Fed Regist. 1980 Feb 26;45(39):12722-44.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, provides for the development and implementation of a comprehensive program to protect human health and the environment from the improper management of hazardous waste. A fundamental premise of the statute is that human health and the environment will best be protected by careful management of the transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste, in accordance with standards developed under the Act. In today's Federal Register, the Environmental Protection Agency is publishing several documents setting in motion a series of events which will culminate in full implementation of the hazardous waste control program. This document sets forth definitions of words and phrases which appear in the subsequent Parts as well as general guidance for the use of these regulations and provisions which are generally applicable to all Parts.
经修订的《资源保护与回收法》规定要制定并实施一项综合计划，以保护人类健康和环境免受危险废物管理不当之害。该法规的一个基本前提是，通过按照该法制定的标准对危险废物的运输、处理、储存和处置进行谨慎管理，能最好地保护人类健康和环境。在今日的《联邦公报》中，环境保护局正在发布若干文件，启动一系列最终将全面实施危险废物控制计划的活动。本文件阐述了后续各部分中出现的词汇和短语的定义，以及这些法规和条款的一般使用指南，这些指南通常适用于所有部分。
