The April 22 effective date of the new Environmental Protection Agency lead paint rules is quickly approaching. The WDDA has joined forces with other industry associations to present a united front, and your help is needed. As part of the coordinated effort, the WDDA is encouraging members to approach members of Congress and urge them to delay the effective date of the new rules. The WDDA has drafted a letter that you can personalize and send to your representatives (find your local representatives online). This letter includes the official stance of the WDDA on the issue. Specifically, the industry is urging officials to support a deferral of the date of implementation and to preserve the opt out.
The WDDA has also compiled a list of relevant Congressional Committee members that need to be contacted. The letter, and the list of committee members, can be found below. If you have any questions, please contact David Walker at dwalker@wddalliance.org or 866-342-5642 ext. 153.
