    Abstract: Section 3004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery

hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) as 
may be necessary to protect human health and the environment. 
Subsections 3004(a)(1), (3), (4), (5), and (6) specify that these

treatment, storage, or disposal of hazardous waste;
     Location, design, and construction of such hazardous waste 
treatment, disposal, or storage facilities;

such hazardous waste; and
     Maintaining or operating such facilities and requiring 
such additional qualifications as to ownership, continuity of 
operation, training for personnel, and financial responsibility as may 
be necessary or desirable.
    The regulations implementing these requirements are codified in 40 
CFR parts 264 and 265. The collection of this information enables the 
EPA to properly determine whether owners/operators or hazardous waste 
treatment, storage, and disposal facilities meet the requirements of 
section 3004(a) of RCRA.
