the Committee on Energy and Commerce
A BILL
To amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to authorize Federal
grants for the development of innovative recycling techniques.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Recycling Initiatives
Grant Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States buries more than
200,000,000 tons of trash each year, and more than
one-third of the landfills in the United States have
been shut down in the last five years.
(2) Incineration of solid waste poses serious en-
vironmental, health, and economic questions. The
Environmental Protection Agency considers inciner-
ation one of the least desirable methods of managing
solid waste.
(3) Reducing waste during manufacturing and
use is a vital component of future waste manage-
ment schemes, but such waste reduction cannot
eliminate all waste.
(4) To manage the solid waste remaining after
reduction techniques are used, a high level of recy-
cling waste at the local level will need to be required
in the future.
(5) Markets need to be developed for the recy-
cled products resulting from the expected increased
levels of recycling.
(6) The Federal Government currently does not
provide grants to promote the development of inno-
vative recycling techniques that can reduce the waste
stream and conserve natural resources.
(7) A program of grants to support research
and development of new recycling techniques, includ-
ing development of markets for recycled products,
would help the Nation meet its recycling goals and
reduce the amount of waste that must be disposed
of.
SEC. 3. GRANT PROGRAM FOR INNOVATIVE RECYCLING
TECHNIQUES.
(a) GRANT PROGRAM.—Subtitle G of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6971) is amended by adding at
the end the following new section:
‘‘SEC. 7011. GRANT PROGRAM FOR INNOVATIVE RECYCLING
TECHNIQUES.
‘‘(a) GRANTS.—The Administrator is authorized to
award grants for the purpose of creating and supporting
innovative techniques for the recycling of solid waste. For
purposes of this section, the term ‘recycling’ includes sepa-
ration, collection, reuse, market development, and produc-
tion of goods using recycled materials.
‘‘(b) APPLICATION.—Any person may apply for a
grant under this section. An application for a grant under
this section shall be submitted in such form and manner,
and contain such information, as the Administrator pre-
scribes by regulation.
SEC. 2. EFFECTIVE DATE.
The amendments made by section 1 shall apply to
determinations on claims for benefits under title XVIII of
the Social Security Act issued on or after the date of en-
actment of this Act.
Æ
‘‘(c) AMOUNT OF GRANT.—The amount of any grant
under this section may not exceed $100,000 for a single
grant recipient. No person may receive more than one
grant under this section.
‘‘(d) REPORT REQUIREMENT.—A person who is
awarded a grant under this section shall submit to the
Administrator a report on the activities carried out with
the grant funds. Such report shall be submitted not later
than 18 months after the date on which the grant is
awarded. The Administrator shall submit to Congress pe-
riodically, but not less often than annually, a compilation
of the reports received from grant recipients under this
subsection.
‘‘(e) AUTHORIZATION.—There are authorized to be
appropriated for each of fiscal years 1994, 1995, 1996,
and 1997 not more than $3,000,000 to carry out this sec-
tion.’’.
(b) TECHNICAL AMENDMENT.—The table of contents
for subtitle G of such Act (contained in section 1001 of
such Act) is amended by adding at the end the following
new item:
