AGC testified at a U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA) public hearing on June 26, 2013, regarding EPA’s ongoing evaluation into whether and how to regulate renovation, repair and painting (RRP) activities in all public and commercial buildings that purportedly have lead-based paint.
At EPA’s June 26 meeting on expansion of the lead paint program, AGC’s oral statement focused mainly on:
- The need for greater and more coordinated outreach to federal, state and local buildings and facilities owners (e.g., GSA and military branches).
- The importance of avoiding duplication with existing laws and regulations (e.g., OSHA/HUD) and studying existing standards and practices (e.g., LEED).
