Under the FD C Act as enacted in 1938, adulterated and misbranded drugs may lawfully be exported but an unapproved new drug could not. This was a drafting error, but it was nonetheless enforced by FDA. Congress therefore enacted the Drug Export Amendments Act of 1986, which authorised the limited export of unapproved new human drugs and biological products after FDA had approved an export application. An export application could be approved only if...

Statutory and Regulatory Definitions. Current statutory definitions of low-level waste are contained in NWPA (1982) and the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act (LLRWPAA, 1986). In the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, low-level waste is defined as radioactive waste that ... 

NRC has developed licensing criteria for near-surface disposal of waste that contains source, special nuclear, or byproduct materials in 10 CFR Part 61 (NRC, 1982a). These regulations are intended to apply primarily to disposal of commercial low-level waste. They do not include a definition of low-level waste but essentially defer to the current statutory definition in the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985. Thus, low-level waste can include wastes with high concentrations of radionuclides that are not generally acceptable for near-surface disposal in accordance with the licensing criteria in 10 CFR Part 61 (NRC, 1982a). 

Some definitions of low-level waste differ from the one summarized above. In particular, transuranic waste is not excluded in the definition in the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985, and transuranic waste thus is a form of low-level waste. However, this inconsistency has little practical significance, because the Amendments Act governs disposal of commercial low-level waste only, unless DOE waste is sent to a commercial facility, and there is very little commercial transuranic waste requiring disposal. 

Requirements for Disposal. The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act of 1980 (LLRWPA, 1980), as amended by the Policy Amendments Act (LLRWPAA, 1986), governs disposal of commercial low-level waste. A particular disposal technology is not specified, but shallow-land burial was presumed in accordance with contemporary practices. The original Act (LLRWPA, 1980) directed NRC to identify alternatives to shallow-land burial for commercial low-level waste and to establish technical guidance and requirements for licensing of alternative disposal methods. NRC published technical studies of alternative disposal technologies (Bennett, 1985 Bennett and Warriner, 1985 Bennett et al., 1984 Miller and Bennett, 1985 Warriner and Bennett, 1985), but specific licensing criteria for these alternatives have not been established.

South Africa s 1997 Medicines Amendment Act authorizes two practices that are controversial (although not explicitly prohibited) under trips. One is parallel importing, which allows importers to buy pharmaceutical drugs from the cheapest sources available abroad, regardless of whether the patent-holders give their... 

The pharmaceutical industry was very pleased with the actions of the ustr, but decided to pursue the matter further. In February 1998, the consortium of 40 drug companies, led by the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association of South Africa, filed a suit. Its key legal claim was that the statute, the Medicines Amendment Act of 1997, was in violation of South African obligations under trips. It was also claimed that the statute was unconstitutional because it gave sweeping power to South Africa s health minister to override the country s patent laws (Kongolo, 2001). For its part, the South African government promised to defend the Medicines Act, which could not be implemented because of the lawsuit. 

In 1987, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act. The Act provided that DOE restrict studies for a repository to Yucca Mormtain, Nevada. The Act also authorized DOE construct an interim storage site for SNF, but the facility could not be located in Nevada and funds for its construction cottld not be authorized rmtil Yucca Mormtain was licensed for construction (for fear that the interim site wottld become a permanent repository). The act imwittingly made interim storage a de facto adjrmct to...
