The House report accompanying H.R. 2800 describes the proposed amendment, including its purpose and the legislative background, reviews the hearings and committee findings, and summarizes potential economic impacts and effects on the budget. This bill improves EPA data collection and dissemination regarding reduction of toxic chemical emissions and promotes public education on the benefits of source reduction. The bill also authorizes a three-year, $8-million-per-year program of matching grants to states for waste reduction programs that promote the voluntary use of source reduction techniques by industry. A section-by-section analysis makes up most of the report.
