                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
                    CHAPTER 82--SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
 
                    SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
Sec. 6901a. Congressional findings: used oil recycling

    The Congress finds and declares that--
        (1) used oil is a valuable source of increasingly scarce energy 
    and materials;
        (2) technology exists to re-refine, reprocess, reclaim, and 
    otherwise recycle used oil;
        (3) used oil constitutes a threat to public health and the 
    environment when reused or disposed of improperly; and

that, therefore, it is in the national interest to recycle used oil in a 
manner which does not constitute a threat to public health and the 
environment and which conserves energy and materials.

(Pub. L. 96-463, Sec. 2, Oct. 15, 1980, 94 Stat. 2055.)

                          Codification
