EPA Docket Center/RCRA Docket

Regulations.gov allows you to search, view, and comment on Federal regulations.

This government-wide, centralized docket management system provides access to all publicly available regulatory material, such as Federal Register notices and rules. EPA posts all their rulemaking materials on this site. You can search for and view those rulemaking materials, along with rulemaking documents that are no longer open for public comment, using the Advanced Search function in the navigation bar at the top of the page. You may submit your comments on-line when a particular docket is open for public comment.

The EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) can provide you with documents involved in the different stages of RCRA rulemakings. You may request regulatory materials that are not available on-line in any of the following ways:

To use Regulations.gov:

  1. Select Search for Dockets at the top of the page.
  2. Select "Environmental Protection Agency" from the Agency drop-down menu.
  3. In the Docket ID box, type in the docket number (e.g., EPA-HQ-RCRA-1988-0068) and press the "Submit" button to receive search results. Be patient; loading the documents takes time.
  4. Select the Docket ID link in the search results; then scroll down to see the documents included in the docket.

If you are going to visit the EPA Docket Center, please make an appointment so that the material you wish to view is ready when you arrive.


Photocopying and Microfilming

Many documents are available only in the original and, therefore, must be photocopied. Patrons are allowed 100 free photocopies. Thereafter they are charged 15 cents per page. When necessary, an invoice stating how many copies were made, the cost of the order, and where to send a check will be issued to the patron.

Documents also are available on microfilm. The EPA/DC staff help patrons locate needed documents and operate the microfilm machines. The billing fee for printing microfilm documents is the same as for photocopying documents.

Patrons who are outside of the metropolitan Washington, DC, area can request documents by telephone. The photocopying and microfilming fee is the same as for walk-in patrons. If an invoice is necessary, EPA/DC staff can mail one with the order.
