Federal agencies must update their purchasing rules to favor safe alternatives to ozone-depleting substances. The EPA had to write the guiding regulations within 18 months of the law's start date. Agencies then had to update their own rules and certify compliance to the President within 30 months.
Not later than 18 months after November 15, 1990, the EPA — working with the General Services Administration and the Secretary* of Defense — had to write regulations requiring every federal department, agency, and government instrumentality to make its purchasing rules match this subchapter's policies, and to use safe alternatives (identified under section 7671k) for class I and class II substances as much as possible. Not later than 30 months after November 15, 1990, each federal department, agency, and instrumentality had to actually update its purchasing rules this way, and certify to the President that it had done so.
Not later than 18 months after November 15, 1990, the Administrator*, in consultation with the Administrator of the General Services Administration and the Secretary* of Defense, shall promulgate regulations requiring each department, agency, and instrumentality of the United States to conform its procurement regulations to the policies and requirements of this subchapter and to maximize the substitution of safe alternatives identified under section 7671k of this title for class I and class II substances. Not later than 30 months after November 15, 1990, each department, agency, and instrumentality of the United States shall so conform its procurement regulations and certify to the President that its regulations have been modified in accordance with this section.
