Sec. 13364. Study of utilization of coal combustion byproducts


(a) ``Coal combustion byproducts'' defined

    As used in this section, the term ``coal combustion byproducts'' 
means the residues from the combustion of coal including ash, slag, and 
flue gas desulfurization materials.

(b) Study and report to Congress

    (1) The Secretary shall conduct a detailed and comprehensive study 
on the institutional, legal, and regulatory barriers to increased 
utilization of coal combustion byproducts by potential governmental and 
commercial users. Such study shall identify and investigate barriers 
found to exist at the Federal, State, or local level, which may have 
limited or may have the foreseeable effect of limiting the quantities of 
coal combustion byproducts that are utilized. In conducting this study, 
the Secretary shall consult with other departments and agencies of the 
Federal Government, appropriate State and local governments, and the 
private sector.
    (2) Not later than one year after October 24, 1992, the Secretary 
shall submit a report to the Congress containing the results of the 
study required by paragraph (1) and the Secretary's recommendations for 
action to be taken to increase the utilization of coal combustion 
byproducts. At a minimum, such report shall identify actions that would 
increase the utilization of coal combustion byproducts in--
        (A) bridge and highway construction;
        (B) stabilizing wastes;
        (C) procurement by departments and agencies of the Federal 
    Government and State and local governments; and
        (D) federally funded or federally subsidized procurement by the 
    private sector.
