II. What is EPA’s authority? 

On March 19, 2015, the President 

issued Executive Order 13693, entitled 

‘‘Planning for Federal Sustainability in 

the Next Decade’’ (80 FR 15871) (Ref. 1). 

Executive Order 13693 maintains 

federal leadership in sustainability and 

greenhouse gas emission reductions. 

Section 3(i) directs federal agencies to 

promote sustainable acquisition and 

procurement by ensuring that certain 

environmental performance and 

sustainability factors are included to the 

maximum extent practicable in the 

planning, award, and execution phases 

of agency acquisitions. Pursuant to 

Section 3(i)(iii)(A) of the Executive 

Order, one of the factors directs agencies 

to purchase environmentally preferable 

products or services that meet EPA 

recommendations for specifications, 

standards, and ecolabels for use in 

federal procurement. On June 10, 2015, 

the Office of Federal Sustainability in 

the White House Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued 

Implementing Instructions for Executive 

Order 13693 (Ref. 2). The Implementing 

Instructions for Executive Order 13693 

call on EPA, in consultation with the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and CEQ, to provide guidance on 

recommendations for specifications, 

standards, and ecolabels for use in 

federal procurement within 90 days of 

the issuance of the Implementing 

Instructions. 

In addition, the Pollution Prevention 

Act (PPA) (42 U.S.C.A. 13103(b)(11)) 

requires EPA to ‘‘Identify opportunities 

to use federal procurement to encourage 

source reduction’’ and section 12(d) of 

the National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 

272) requires federal agencies to ‘‘use 

technical standards that are developed 

or adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies, using such technical 

standards as a means to carry out policy 

objectives or activities.’’ 

III. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document describes EPA’s 

approach for providing 

recommendations to federal purchasers 

on specifications, environmental 

performance standards, and ecolabels 

for environmentally preferable products 

and services. The federal government is 

one of the world’s largest purchasers. 

This action will help federal agencies 

purchase environmentally preferable 

products and services and reduce public 

health and environmental impacts
