Dennis:

rls={{RP2 -> -7.26519017625297269`*^-7,RP1 -> 2.36086513207038839`*^-6},
{RP2 -> 0.0000102421050739988284`,RP1 -> 5.26971403312072794`*^-7},
{RP2 -> 3.73302832515359561`*^-7, RP1 -> 2.23274575728650503`*^-7}};


Cases[rls, {_->x_,_->y_}/;And[10^-6>x>0,10^-6>y>0]]

                   -7                   -7 {{RP2 -> 3.73303 10  , RP1 ->
2.23275 10  }}

or


Cases[rls, {_->x_,_->y_}/;And[10^-6>x>0,10^-6>y>0]->{x,y}][[1]]

           -7            -7
{3.73303 10  , 2.23275 10  }
