Summary

The bill directs the EPA to create a rule that removes certain solid‑waste and boiler regulations for facilities that reclaim vanadium and other metals from spent petroleum catalyst. It helps U.S. refineries and metal‑recovery plants keep more vanadium for steel, defense, infrastructure and energy uses, reducing reliance on foreign sources. By clarifying exemptions, the measure aims to make domestic metal recovery safer and less costly.
