Title: Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials 
Abstract: RCRA section 6002 and E.O. 13101 require EPA to prepare guidelines in the Federal Register 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 four Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG1, CPG2, CPG3, and CPG4). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) with each CPG, that provides recommendations on buying the designated items. The E.O. requires EPA to update the CPG every 2 years. EPA has proposed one new and one revised item designation in CPG5. In addition CPG Nylon Carpet was originally proposed with CPG 4 but was not included in the final designation because more information was needed. A Notice of Data Availability was issued asking for that information. EPA is now considering finalizing the CPG for Nylon Carpet separately from CPG 4 and 5.
