Which government agency regulates hazardous waste management?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the correct choice for the regulation of hazardous waste management. The EPA is the principal federal agency responsible for enforcing laws that protect the environment and human health. It develops and enforces regulations concerning the management, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This includes overseeing the generation, transportation, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials throughout their lifecycle to ensure safety and environmental protection.

The other agencies listed focus on different areas: OSHA primarily oversees workplace health and safety standards, the FDA regulates food and drug safety, and the NSC is a nonprofit organization aimed at promoting safety in various fields, but does not have regulatory authority over hazardous waste management.
