Summary

Amends the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to add a new subtitle concerning recovery and reuse of used oil. Vests the authority to prescribe labeling, packaging, marketing, or other requirements related to the sale or distribution of used, waste, or recycled oil in the Environmental Protection Agency. Voids regulations promulgated prior to the date of enactment of this subtitle by the Federal Trade Commission relating to the labeling of such oil. Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to issue regulations: (1) assuring purchasers of the quality and fitness of recycled or re-refined oil; (2) providing for the recycling and re-refining of used oil; and (3) assuring, to the extent not covered by regulations issued under such Act, that waste oil and used oil are handled safely and in such a way as to minimize potentially adverse effects on public health or the environment. Requires that virgin oil containers be prominently labeled so as to make purchasers or users aware of the necessity of recycling used oil. Prohibits the making of contracts or agreements to discourage the use of recycled oil if such use is consistent with the required labeling for such recycled oil. Authorizes the award of treble damages to any party injured or aggrieved by such agreements or contracts. Directs the Secretaries of Commerce and Defense, the Administrators of the Environmental Protection Agency and the General Services Administration, and the personnel of the Office of Procurement Policy, to accord the highest priority to the development of standards, markets, and regulations relating to recycled and re-refined oil in implementing specified provisions of such Act. Provides for the development of State plans and programs relating to such oil and authorizes the Administrator to delegate the authorities under this Act to any State with an approved program on such oil. Authorizes appropriations to carry out this Act.
