Introduction
What Information Does This Catalog
Contain?
This catalog lists hazardous and solid waste documents re-
leased by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office
of Solid Waste (OSW). This is a select list of publications
that are frequently requested and is not a comprehensive
list of all documents available.
What Is New in This Edition of the
Catalog?
This edition of the catalog contains newly
publications and is current through July 15, 1996.

How Can I Find Specific Information in the
Catalog?
There are a number of ways to find a particular document
or research a subject area through this catalog. The follow-
ing examples should help you get started:
If you have a document title, turn to the Alphabetical
Listing of Abstracts (Section 1). There you will find the or-
der number as well as the type of order form to use. Or-
der forms and instructions can be found in Ordering
Information and Forms (Section 5).
If you have a document number, turn to the Numeri-
cal Listing of Publications (Section 3) to find the title. The
section is divided into three different lists for documents
distributed by OSW, the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS), or the Government Printing Office (GPO).
ซ If you are interested in a particular subject area,
turn to the Alphabetical Listing of Subjects (Section 2).
There you will find a listing of documents on the topic you
are interested in.
If the document you're looking for is not included
in the catalog, contact the RCRA Information Center-
(RIG) for more information (see below).
How Do I Order a Document?
Documents listed in this catalog can be ordered from one of
three sources: OSW, NTIS, or GPO. You must use the ap-
propriate order form and order number for each document
as specified in the Alphabetical Listing of Abstracts (Section
1). The actual order forms can be found under Ordering In-
formation and Forms (Section 5). In some cases, govern-
ment agencies can receive documents free of charge.
Can I Access OSW Documents on the
Internet?
Many OSW documents are now available on the EPA Public
Access Server, which you can access via the Internet. You
can reach this server in one of four ways:
Via the World Wide Web (WWW): http://www.epa.gov/
epaoswer
Via gopher: gopher.epa.gov
Via direct dialup: 919 558-0335
Via File Transfer Protocol (FTP): ftp.epa.gov
If you are using the gopher or direct dialup method, once
you are connected to the EPA Public Access Server, look
for OSW documents in the following directory: EPA Of-
fices and Regions/Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response (OSWERYOffice of Solid Waste (RCRA). If you
are using the FTP method,-log in -as anonymous, use your In-
ternet address as your password, and look for OSW docu-
ments in the/pub/gopher/OSWRCRA directory.
Where Can I Go for More Information?
If you need additional assistance, call, write, or visit the RIG.

The public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collec-
tion of information is estimated to average 10 minutes per
response annually. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a federal
agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with
any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested
methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through
the use of automated collection techniques, to the Director,
OPPE Regulatory Information Division, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (2136), 401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC
20460. Include the OMB control number in any correspon-
dence. Do not send the completed survey to this address.

Documentation for Development of
Toxicity and Volumes Scores for the
Purpose of Scheduling Hazardous Waste
Presents methodology used to schedule land disposal,
waste streams listed in 40 CFR Part 26. Schedules are bro-
ken into three statutory time frames as required by Section
3004 of RCRA. Schedules are determined by toxic potential
of constituents in each waste stream, with high volume,
highly toxic wastes scheduled first, and low volume, less
toxic wastes scheduled last. Rankjng scheme incorporates
measures of acute and chronic toxicity, and is applied to a
range of chemicals with a wide variety of databases.
