The purpose of this memorandum is to identify the elements that the Office of Solid Waste (OSW) believes should generally be included in integrated waste management plans (IWMP) that are developed by tribes, unless information is provided that such element(s) are not appropriate or necessary, in order that such plans are counted in EPA's Annual Commitments System (ACS). We have worked closely with your staffs (as well as other federal agencies) in preparing this memo.
