EPA Seeks Small Businesses’ Input on Lead Paint for Public and Commercial Buildings
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is inviting small businesses to participate as consultants for a Small Business Advocacy Review (SBAR) Panel as the agency considers steps to reduce lead-based paint exposure from the renovation, repair, and painting of public and commercial buildings as required by the Toxic Substances Control Act.
The SBAR Panel is being established pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act and will include representatives from the Small Business Administration, the Office of Management and Budget, and EPA. The panel will ask a selected group of Small Entity Representatives (SERs) to provide advice and recommendations on behalf of their company, community or organization to inform the panel on impacts of a proposed rule on small entities involved in the renovation, repair and painting of public and commercial buildings. SER panelists may participate via telephone, webinar or in person.
