Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking public comment on draft Guidelines intended to provide a transparent, fair, and consistent approach to using non-governmental product environmental performance standards and ecolabels in federal purchasing, consistent with federal standards policy and sustainable acquisition mandates. These Guidelines have been developed in response to requests via a wide variety of stakeholder engagement channels from manufacturers, environmental organizations, federal purchasers, and other stakeholders over the last several years. In addition to seeking input on the Guidelines themselves, EPA is seeking input on how standards and ecolabels should be assessed for conformance to the Guidelines.
