The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is contemplating setting the "Technical Support for the Thermal Treatment of RCRA Hazardous Waste" procurement aside for small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns participation only. SIC code 8741 will be used. Firms that had responded to synopsis dated 2/16/00 are not required to resubmit qualification statements. This requirement will support the EPA Office of Solid Waste, Hazardous Waste Management and Minimization Division. The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to institute a national program to control hazardous waste. Specific regulations for carrying out RCRA are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR Parts 260-271). In November 1984, RCRA was amended to expand the responsibilities of those who handle hazardous waste. These amendments are known as the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). In addition, Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended by the 1990 amendments, requires EPA to establish maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for major (and possibly area) sources. Specific regulations for carrying out the CAA are set forth in 40 CFR Parts 60-99. The MACT standards are found in 40 CFR PART 63; supplemental regulations are found in Part 60.
