    (a) Beginning one year after January 23, 1995, a Superintendent will 
not permit or allow a person to dispose of solid waste at a National 
Park Service operated solid waste disposal site except for waste 
generated by National Park Service activities.
    (b) The Superintendent of a unit where the National Park Service 
operates a solid waste disposal site will establish a waste collection 
program for harmful wastes generated by residential activities by 
National Park Service and concessionaire households within the unit. The 
Superintendent will establish frequency and place of collection but such 
frequency must be, at a minimum, every twelve months.
    (c) Each Superintendent will ensure full compliance with regulations 
at 40 CFR part 244, Solid Waste Management Guidelines For Beverage 
Containers. Only those units of the National Park System where 
carbonated beverages in containers are not sold, or that have prepared 
formal documentation of nonimplementation under 40 CFR 244.100(f)(3) 
that has been approved by the Director and the Administrator of the 
Environmental Protection Agency, are exempt from the deposit and 
container return program mandated in 40 CFR part 244.
    (d) NPS concessionaires, commercial use licensees and contractors 
will comply with acquisition, recycling and waste minimization goals 
established by the NPS.
