Sec. 600.116  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

    Under the Act (Pub. L. 94-580 codified at 42 U.S.C. 6962), any State 
agency or agency of a political subdivision of a State which is using 
appropriated Federal funds must comply with section 6002. Section 6002 
requires that preference be given in procurement programs to the 
purchase of specific products containing recycled materials identified 
in guidelines developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (40 
CFR parts 247-254). Accordingly, State and local institutions of higher 
education, hospitals, and non-profit organizations that receive direct 
Federal awards or other Federal funds shall give preference in their 
procurement programs funded with Federal funds to the purchase of 
recycled products pursuant to the EPA guidelines.
