by adding at the end the following:
    ``(4)(A) For purposes of clause (i) of paragraph (3)(C), in the

disposed of, if such waste was generated in another State, the State in 
which the facility is located may recover the amount described in 
subparagraph (B) from such other State. Such other State shall pay such 
amount to the State in which the facility is located.
    ``(B) The amount referred to in subparagraph (A) is that share of 
the amount the State in which the facility is located will pay or
