Sec. 435.16  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

    Any State agency or agency of a political subdivision of a State 
which is using appropriated Federal funds must comply with section 6002 
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (Public Law 94-580; 42 
U.S.C. 6962). 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, and non-profit organizations that receive direct Federal 
awards or other Federal funds must give preference in their procurement 
programs funded with Federal funds to the purchase of recycled products 
pursuant to the EPA guidelines.
