Hazardous waste regulations based on the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) control the transport, storage, and disposal of chemical products which may be hazardous if landfilled in the traditional way. The Army has implemented RCRA requirements through Army Regulation (AR) 200-1. The Hazardous Materials Management System (HMMS) is a computerized system being developed to help Army fixed facilities identify chemical substances subject to the requirements of the RCRA and AR 200-1, and to provide handling information on those substances. HMMS contains four subcomponents; one of these, called Trade Name Translator (TNT), is an interactive program which searches the Army Master Data File to correlate national stock numbers of chemical substances with their chemical names, and vice versa. Use of this system will help the Army more easily identify hazardous chemicals and thus decide the safest method to dispose of them.
