Sec. 74.16  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA, Section 6002 of Pub. L. No. 94-580 (Codified at 42 U.S.C. 6962)).



    Under the 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 RCRA. This section requires that preference be given

Accordingly, State and local institutions of higher education, 

hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations that receive direct HHS 

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.
