Technical assistance manual for clean manufacturing planning
    Sec. 2. The institute shall develop a technical assistance manualfor clean manufacturing planning. The manual shall be designed toprovide criteria to assist manufacturers in the preparation ofmultimedia clean manufacturing plans. The manual must provideassistance in the following clean manufacturing actions:
        (1) Identification of the types and quantities of the toxicmaterials that:
            (A) enter or exit each production process, operation, storagearea, product, and pollution control system at the facility; or
            (B) are transported from the facility as a waste or in a waste;
        presented in the form of a mass balance calculation.
        (2) Assessment of the applicability, for each production processor operation in which a toxic material is used, of each of thefollowing approaches for clean manufacturing and reduction inthe use of toxic materials:
            (A) Input change, which refers to replacing a toxic materialused in a production unit with a nontoxic or less toxicmaterial.
            (B) Product reformulation, which refers to changing thedesign, specification, or composition of an existing endproduct to reduce the need for toxic materials.
            (C) Production process redesign, which refers to:
                (i) developing or using production units of a differentdesign or type; or
                (ii) upgrading, modernizing, or renovating production unitequipment;
            to reduce the need for toxic materials.
            (D) Operational improvement, which refers to techniquessuch as:
                (i) improved housekeeping practices;
                (ii) system adjustments;
                (iii) product and process inspections; and
                (iv) the use of production unit control equipment ormethods.

Purpose of manual    Sec. 3. (a) The manual developed by the institute under thischapter:
        (1) may only address clean manufacturing; and
        (2) must encourage a manufacturer that is preparing amultimedia clean manufacturing plan to consider the feasibilityof all of the following options:
            (A) Input change.
            (B) Product reformulation.
            (C) Production process change.
            (D) Operational improvement.
    (b) The manual developed under this chapter must state thatrecycling is not a means of clean manufacturing.
