EPA sent a letter denying a petition calling for the agency to issue a rule requiring property managers, building owners, and contractors disturbing paint on public and commercial buildings to submit certain records related to OSHA's construction standard for lead. EPA says it will work with OSHA staff to see if such data is available in OSHA enforcement records. The petition was filed by the International Union of Painters & Allied Trades, National Center for Healthy Housing, and Lead and Environmental Hazards Association and National Association of Lead and Healthy Homes Grantees.
