Quote:
Sec. 506. Procurement of Re-refined Lubricating
Oil and Retread Tires. Within 180
days after the effective date of this order,
agencies shall implement the EPA procurement
guidelines for re-refined lubricating oil
and retread tires.
(a) Commodity managers shall finalize revisions
to specifications for re-refined oil and
retread tires, and develop and issue specifications
for tire retreading services, as commodity
managers shall take affirmative steps to
procure these items in accordance with
RCRA section 6002.
(b) Once these items become available,
fleet managers shall take affirmative steps to
procure these items in accordance with
RCRA section 6002.
From reading the intent of the executive order, these are basically guidelines that should be followed when possible. I would not assume that this order means that every single tire, including steering axles, require the use of retreads.
