RCRA is codified in which U.S. Code title?

• A. 40 CFR
• B. 42 USC
• C. 29 USC
• D. 50 USC

Answer: (B)

The key idea is distinguishing between statutes and their codified place in the U.S. Code. RCRA is a federal law enacted by Congress, so its text is part of the United States Code. It sits in Title 42, which covers Public Health and Welfare, specifically at 42 U.S.C. § 6901 et seq. The Code of Federal Regulations, starting with 40 C.F.R., contains the detailed rules that implement the statute, not the statute itself. The other titles listed relate to different areas of law (29 U.S.C. is labor standards, 50 U.S.C. is national defense). So the correct U.S. Code title that codifies RCRA is Title 42.
