    (a) The purpose of this guideline is to assist procuring agencies in 

complying with the requirements of section 6002 of the Solid Waste 

Disposal Act, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 

of 1976 (RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6962, and Executive Order 12873, 

as they apply to the procurement of the items designated in subpart B of 

this part.

    (b) This guideline designates items that are or can be made with 

recovered materials and whose procurement by procuring agencies will 

carry out the objectives of section 6002 of RCRA. EPA's recommended 

practices with respect to the procurement of specific designated items 

are found in the companion Recovered Materials Advisory Notice(s).

    (c) EPA believes that adherence to the recommendations in the 

Recovered Materials Advisory Notice(s) constitutes compliance with RCRA 

section 6002. However, procuring agencies may adopt other types of 

procurement programs consistent with RCRA section 6002.
