  The Senate continued with the consideration of the bill.


                           Amendment No. 751

  Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, we have an amendment offered by Senator 
Kempthorne. I send the amendment to the desk and ask for its immediate 
consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report.
  The assistant legislative clerk read as follows:

       The Senator from New Hampshire [Mr. Smith], for Mr. 
     Kempthorne, proposes an amendment numbered 751.

  Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that reading of the 
amendment be dispensed with.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The amendment is as follows:

       On page 69, line 13, strike the word, ``remote''.
       On page 69, line 19, after the word, ``infeasible'', insert 
     the word, ``or''.
       On page 69, lines 21 and 22, strike the words, ``the unit 
     shall be exempt from those requirements'' and in lieu thereof 
     insert the words, ``the State may exempt the unit from some 
     or all of those requirements''.
       On page 69, line 22, add the following new sentence: ``This 
     subsection shall apply only to solid waste landfill units 
     that dispose of less than 20 tons of municipal solid waste 
     daily, based on an annual average.''.

  Mr. SMITH. Mr. President, this amendment offered by the Senator from 
Idaho has been agreed to on both sides.
