Extends and amends the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (the "Superfund Act").

Such regulations shall include provisions regarding training, medical surveillance, protective equipment, maximum exposure limits, requirements for the handling, transporting, labeling and disposing of hazardous wastes, inter alia. The Act also governs civil actions by individuals, imposes a special tax on substances listed (vinyl chloride, chloroform, etc.) and governs a number of related matters.
