About This Policy Database... EPA is committed to providing public access to official Agency policy, guidance, and interpretive documents. We believe the public is entitled to this information, it should be easy to find, and it should be identified as official Agency policy. This Policy Database is an interactive system designed to provide the public with online access to Agency policy documents from the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) and the EPA Regional waste and emergency response programs.

Information You Should Know... This Database contains the policy, guidance, and interpretive documents that the Agency intends to use or rely on for the implementation and enforcement of its statutes and regulations. Although these documents must be distinguishable as official agency policy, they are only a small, vital, subset of all of the documents developed by OSWER and the EPA Regions. Because this site is still under development, at this time you will not find all policy documents issued for these programs within this Database. We plan to continue adding past, as well as future documents, as they are identified.

For Further Help... We have provided a Help page which should answer many questions you have about the database.  In addition, we have provided a list of Acronyms and what they stand for.  If you have questions about the policies in the database, please try additional help.

To Report Technical Problems... Are you having technical problems or have you found a bug in this system? If so we would like to here from you!
