Sec. 84.16  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

    Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (Pub. L. 94-
580, 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 through 254). 
Accordingly, State and local institutions of higher education, 
hospitals, commercial organizations and international organizations when 
operating domestically, 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.
