Member Input Needed to Help Shape Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule

Public and commercial building contractors have an opportunity to help shape a future lead paint rule.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started to develop lead-safe work practices and other requirements that may well apply to renovation and remodeling activities both on the exterior and inside of all public and commercial buildings. EPA is actively reviewing the lead paint laws that are already on the books for residential renovation and remodeling work and considering whether and how to apply those requirements to public and commercial building renovation and remodeling.  AGC needs your input before July 2 on a variety of important industry-specific issues currently under consideration at EPA.  Read more on the rule and how to provide input here.
