Title: Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials 
Abstract: RCRA section 6002 requires EPA to prepare procurement guidelines that designate items that are or can be made with recovered materials and to issue recommendations for government procurement of these items. Once designated, procuring agencies are required to purchase these items with the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable. Government procurement of EPA-designated items containing recovered materials fosters markets for recovered materials and, thereby, closes the recycling loop. To date, EPA has designated 61 items under five Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG1, CPG2, CPG3, CPG4 and CPG5). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG that provides recommendations on buying the designated items. E.O. 13423 requires EPA to review existing CPG product designations for effectiveness, obsolescence, and consistency with the biobased products designation program, environmentally preferable purchasing program, and Energy Star and FEMP-designated energy efficient products program. A CPG for nylon carpet was originally proposed with CPG4, but not yet finalized because more information was needed. A Notice of Data Availability was issued asking for that information. EPA is evaluating the comments and considering how to proceed with the CPG for nylon carpet.
