    (a) RCRA section 6002(d)(1) required Federal agencies that have the 
responsibility for drafting or reviewing specifications for procurement 
items procured by Federal agencies to revise their specifications by May 
8, 1986, to eliminate any exclusion of recovered materials and any 
requirement that items be manufactured from virgin materials.
    (b) RCRA section 6002(d)(2) requires that within one year after the 
publication date of each item designation by the EPA, each procuring 
agency must assure that its specifications for these items require the 
use of recovered materials to the maximum extent possible without 
jeopardizing the intended end use of these items.
