A homebuilders coalition has filed a petition for review challenging an EPA lead renovation, repair and painting rule issued May 6, 2010. National Association of Home Builders v. EPA, No. 10-1183 (D.C. Cir. Filed 7/8/10). The original rule required EPA certification for individuals involved in the construction and remodeling industry. It also included an opt-out provision available to contractors working in homes where no children younger than age 6 or pregnant women were present. The 2010 rule removed this opt-out provision as of July 7, 2010, but petitioners have alleged that EPA had no new scientific data to indicate that the opt-out provision should be removed. Petitioners include the National Association of Home Builders, Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association, and Window and Door Manufacturers Association.
