42 U.S.C. § 6963 — Cooperation with Environmental Protection Agency

(a) General rule All Federal agencies must assist the Administrator^* in carrying out his functions under this chapter and must 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 must be provided in that format as can be determined by the Administrator. (b) Information relating to energy and materials conservation and recovery The Administrator must 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 must identify the regions in which the increased substitution of that 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 must utilize the authorities of subsection (a) in carrying out this subsection.
