Item I-- EPEAT Items (FAR Case 2013-016)

    This rule finalizes an interim rule that implemented changes in the 
Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT[supreg])-
registry requirements at FAR subpart 23.7. The FAR requirement to 
procure EPEAT[supreg]-registered products was revised to incorporate 
the revised standard applicable to personal computer products and to 
add the standards for imaging equipment and televisions. The final rule 
also amends the procedures relating to the exceptions to the 
requirement to procure EPEAT[supreg]-registered products. There is no 
significant economic impact on small businesses.
