1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Farm Regulatory Certainty Act . 2. Findings; purposes (a) Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) Congress never intended the Solid Waste Disposal Act (commonly known as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) to govern animal or crop waste, manure, or fertilizer, or constituents derived from such sources, or the ways in which they are managed, stored, handled, or applied by agricultural operations. (2) The Environmental Protection Agency’s September 1979 regulations promulgated under the Solid Waste Disposal Act accurately reflect Congress’ intent not to regulate manure and crop residues under the Solid Waste Disposal Act. (3) Congress has confidence in the ability of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Environmental Protection Agency to, when appropriate, implement standards and recommendations for animal feeding operations (including concentrated animal feeding operations and large concentrated animal feeding operations) and other agricultural producers, as to appropriate storage and handling techniques for animal and crop waste, manure, and fertilizer, and the constituents derived from such sources, to reasonably protect water, air, and soil resources, as well as ensure public health. (4) Continued judicial misinterpretation of Congress’ intent for the Solid Waste Disposal Act and the September 1979 rules promulgated under it could pose a very real threat to the vitality of the Nation’s agricultural community, which would lead to serious disruptions in the food supply. (b) Purposes The purposes of this Act are— (1) to clarify the intent of Congress with respect to the purpose and scope of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, specifically that it was not intended to regulate animal or crop waste, manure, or fertilizer, or constituents derived from such sources
