. 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
