Sec. 14.16  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

    Under 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 
247-254). Accordingly, State and local institutions of higher education, 
hospitals, non-profit, and commercial 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.
