## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency is amending the financial assurance regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for owners and operators of municipal solid waste landfills. Today's rule increases the flexibility available to owners and operators by adding two mechanisms to those currently available: a financial test for use by private owners and operators, and a corporate guarantee that allows companies to guarantee the costs for another owner or operator.
