Title: Revisions to the Comprehensive Guideline for Procurement of Products Containing Recovered Materials 
Abstract: EPA is suspending this effort pending programmatic decisions and in light of current resource constraints. The timing of the Agency's future efforts are dependent on the availability of resources. EPA is directed to prepare procurement guidelines, as needed, 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. To date, EPA has designated 61 items under five Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPGs). EPA has also issued a Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN) for each CPG that provides recommendations on buying the designated items. A CPG for Nylon Carpet was originally proposed in 2001. A Notice of Data Availability was issued asking for additional information.
