31218 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 109 / Monday, June 8, 1998 / Notices

EPA cautions persons using EPA’s

recommendations to use them only for

the specific items for which they were

intended. It is not appropriate to

analogize from one type of insulation or

carpet to another without first

researching the use of recovered

materials in the other items. The two

items could have different performance

requirements necessitating different

levels of recovered materials.

Dated: June 1, 1998.

Solid Waste and Emergency Response.

Recovered Materials Advisory Notice I

Update

Following are updates to EPA’s

recommendations to procuring agencies

for purchasing polyester carpet and

building insulation products containing

recovered materials, in compliance with

section 6002 of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

These recommendations are intended to

be used in conjunction with RMAN I (60

FR 21386, May 1, 1995). The remainder

of the RMAN I recommendations for

these items remains unchanged. Refer to

RMAN I or the Code of Federal

Regulations at 40 CFR part 247 for

definitions, general recommendations

for affirmative procurement programs,

and additional recommendations for

purchasing these items containing

recovered materials.

Part C.—Construction Products

(Revised)

Section C–1. Building Insulation

(Revised)

Note: EPA recommended purchasing

practices, including recovered materials

content levels, for thermal building

insulation products in RMAN I. EPA is

revising those recommendations by adding a

recovered materials content level for plastic

batt building insulation. Procuring agencies

should substitute the revised Table C–1

shown below for the recommendations found

in section C–1 of the 1995 RMAN I. EPA’s

revised recommendations are indicated in

Bold type.

Preference Program: EPA recommends

that, based on the recovered materials

content levels shown in Table C–1

(Revised), procuring agencies establish

minimum content standards for use in

purchasing building insulation

products.

TABLE C–1. (REVISED)—RECOMMENDED RECOVERED MATERIALS CONTENT LEVELS FOR BUILDING INSULATION

Insulation material Recovered material

Total recovered materials (%)

Cellulose loose-fill and spray-on .................................................. Postconsumer paper .................................................................... 75

Fiberglass ..................................................................................... Glass cullet ................................................................................... 20–25

Perlite composite board ................................................................ Postconsumer paper .................................................................... 23

Phenolic rigid foam ....................................................................... Recovered materials ..................................................................... 5

Plastic, non-woven batt ............................................................. Recovered and/or postconsumer plastics ............................... 100

Plastic foam-in-place, polyisocyanurate/polyurethane ................. Recovered materials ..................................................................... 5

Plastic rigid foam, polyisocyanurate/polyurethane ....................... Recovered materials ..................................................................... 9

Plastic foam, glass fiber reinforced polyisocyanurate/polyurethane.Recovered materials ..................................................................... 6

Rock wool ..................................................................................... Slag ............................................................................................... 75

Note: The recommended recovered

materials content levels are based on the

weight (not volume) of materials in the

insulating core only.

Section C–4. Carpet (Revised)

Note: EPA recommended purchasing

practices, including specifications, for

polyester carpet in RMAN I. EPA is revising

these recommendations to add a reference to

the General Services Administration’s carpet

schedule and the current contract for

polyester carpet containing recovered

materials. All of EPA’s other purchasing

recommendations for polyester carpet, found

in the 1995 RMAN I, remain unchanged.

Preference Program: EPA recommends

that Federal procuring agencies use

GSA’s contract GS–27F–5069–C under

Schedule 72, part I, section A, when

purchasing polyester carpet containing

recovered materials.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

COMMISSION

[DA 98–1037 and CC Docket No. 90–571]

Notice of Telecommunications Relay

Services (TRS) Certification

Released: June 2, 1998.

Notice is hereby given that the

applications for certification of state

Telecommunication Relay Services

(TRS) programs of the states listed

below have been granted, subject to the

condition described below, pursuant to

Title IV of the Americans with

Disabilities Act of 1990, 47 U.S.C.

225(f)(2), and section 64.605(b) of the

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 64.605(b).

The Commission will provide further

Public Notice of the certification of the

remaining applications for certification

once review of those states’ applications

has been completed. On the basis of the

states applications, the Commission has

determined that:

(1) The TRS program of the listed

states meet or exceed all operational,

technical, and functional minimum

standards contained in section 64.604 of

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 64.604;

(2) The TRS programs of the listed

states make available adequate

procedures and remedies for enforcing

the requirements of the state program;

and,

(3) The TRS programs of the listed

states in no way conflict with federal

law.

The Commission also has determined

that, where applicable, the intrastate

funding mechanisms of the listed states

are labeled in a manner that promotes

national understanding of TRS and does

not offend the public, consistent with

section 64.605(d) of the Commission’s

rules, 47 CFR 64.605(d).

On May 14, 1998, the Commission

adopted a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking that proposes ways to

enhance the quality of existing

telecommunications relay services

(TRS) and expand those services for

better use by individuals with speech

disabilities. See Telecommunications

Relay Services and Speech-to-Speech

Services for Individuals with Hearing

and Speech Disabilities, CC Docket No.

98–67, FCC 98–90 (rel. May 20, 1998).

Because the Commission may adopt

changes to the rules governing relay

programs, including state relay

programs, the certification granted

herein is conditioned on a

demonstration of compliance with any

new rules ultimately adopted by the

Commission. The Commission will

provide guidance to the states on

demonstrating compliance with such

rule changes.

This certification, as conditioned

herein, shall remain in effect for a five

year period, beginning July 26, 1998,

and ending July 25, 2003, pursuant to 47

CFR 64.605(c). One year prior to the

expiration of this certification, July 25,

2002, the states may apply for renewal

of their TRS program certifications by

filing documentation in accordance

with the Commission’s rules, pursuant

to 47 CFR 64.605(a) and (b).

Copies of certification letters are

available for public inspection at the

Commission’s Common Carrier Bureau,

Network Services Division, Room 235,

2000 M Street, NW, Washington, DC,

Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to

3:00 PM (closed 12:30 to 1:30 PM), and

the FCC Reference Center, Room 239,

1919 M Street, NW, Washington, DC,
