{"abstract":"On August 28, 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) proposed to designate nylon carpet in its Comprehensive Procurement Guideline IV (CPG IV). On that same day, EPA issued a Draft Recovered Materials Advisory Notice IV (RMAN IV) for nylon carpet. The RMAN provides guidance to procuring agencies for purchasing items designated in the CPG. Specifically, Table C-4 of the draft RMAN IV contained recommended recovered materials content ranges for use by procurement officials when buying nylon carpet containing recovered materials and/or nylon carpet with backing made from recovered materials. Today's action announces the availability of information submitted both during and after the close of the public comment period for the draft RMAN IV for nylon carpet, provides a summary of the revisions EPA is considering making to the draft RMAN for nylon carpet as a result of comments received, and requests comments both on the information submitted and on the revisions being considered for the RMAN on nylon carpet. EPA will consider information and data submitted in response to this notice when issuing the final RMAN recommendations for nylon carpet. EPA notes that in the August 28, 2001 rulemaking notice, 10 other items were proposed for designation in the CPG. The agency is currently reviewing comments received on those proposed designations and will be issuing a separate rulemaking notice for those items in the near future.","action":"Notice of data availability.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2003/07/16/03-17896.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"68 FR 42040","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2003-09-02","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"EPA will accept public comments on this Notice of Data Availability until September 2, 2003.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["RCRA-2003-0013","SWH-FRL-7527-9"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"03-17896","effective_on":null,"end_page":42043,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2003/07/16/03-17896.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/07/16/03-17896/recovered-materials-advisory-notice","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/03-17896?publication_date=2003-07-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2003-07-16/03-17896/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":55,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 22:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-07-16/pdf/03-17896.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2003-07-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2003/07/16/03-17896.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":42040,"subtype":null,"title":"Recovered Materials Advisory Notice","toc_doc":"Nylon carpet.
