        <RULE_TITLE>Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[RCRA section 6002 and E.O. 13101 require EPA to prepare guidelines in the Federal Register which 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 54 items under three Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG1, CPG2 and CPG3). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG which provides recommendations on buying the designated items. The E.O. requires EPA to update the CPG every two years. The new actions would (1) propose to designate new items in CPG4 and (2) issue final item designations in CPG4.]]></ABSTRACT>
