{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency is providing notice of the availability of the final Recovered Materials Advisory Notice IV (RMAN IV) and supporting materials. The final RMAN IV contains EPA's recommendations for purchasing seven newly designated items and three revised items presented in the final Comprehensive Procurement Guideline IV, which is published elsewhere in today's Federal Register. The final RMAN IV also contains revised recommendations for two other previously designated items. This action will help use government purchasing power to stimulate the use of recovered materials in the manufacture of products and expand markets for those recovered materials. EPA designates items that are or can be made with recovered materials and provides recommendations for the procurement of these items under the authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA). The seven newly designated items for which EPA is making recommendations include: modular threshold ramps; nonpressure pipe; roofing materials; office furniture; rebuilt vehicular parts; bike racks; and blasting grit. The five items for which EPA is making revised recommendations include: cement and concrete; polyester carpet; railroad grade crossing surfaces; latex paint; and retread tires.","action":"Notice of availability of final document.","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/2004/04/30/04-9865.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"69 FR 24039","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"These recommendations apply to the seven new items (i.e., modular threshold ramps; nonpressure pipe; roofing materials; office furniture; rebuilt vehicular parts; bike racks; and blasting grit) whose designations are effective May 2, 2005, as well as to the five items that were previously designated (i.e., cement and concrete, polyester carpet, railroad-grade crossing surfaces, latex paint, and retread tires).","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["RCRA-2001-0047","SWH-FRL-7655-1"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"04-9865","effective_on":"2005-05-02","end_page":24050,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2004/04/30/04-9865.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/04/30/04-9865/recovered-materials-advisory-notice-iv","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/04-9865?publication_date=2004-04-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2004-04-30/04-9865/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":12,"page_views":{"count":140,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 16:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-04-30/pdf/04-9865.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2004-04-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2004/04/30/04-9865.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":24039,"subtype":null,"title":"Recovered Materials Advisory Notice IV","toc_doc":"Recovered materials advisory notice","toc_subject":"Reports and guidance documents; availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":69}
