BREAKING NEWS ALERT:
LEAD PAINT RULE DEADLINE DELAYED!

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to delay enforcement of the new Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, an action that will provide much-needed time to get more remodelers and other contractors trained. The decision will also give EPA more time to get the word out to consumers about the importance of hiring a certified remodeler. "EPA has listened to our concerns and done the right thing," said NAHB Chairman Bob Jones in our official reaction statement. In its announcement, EPA acknowledged that remodelers in many parts of the country have been unable to obtain the required training to comply with the rule - a problem that NAHB has pushed the agency to solve since the rule was announced two years ago. 

Important: While remodelers, electricians, heating and air conditioning technicians and other contractors must adhere to lead-safe work practices, including the use of special equipment filters and a ban on open flames, EPA will not take enforcement action against firms that have been unable to obtain certification until October 1 of this year. Individual contractors must apply to enroll in a training class by Sept. 30 and complete the training by Dec. 31, 2010. Read the EPA's announcement here.

Industry News & Gauges

A key amendment to the bill that would extend the closing date deadline for the home buyer tax credit program to September 30 for homes under contract on or before April 30 was passed by the Senate on June 16. This change was championed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA). Currently, buyers who signed a sales contract by April 30 and are able to close on their homes by June 30 can still qualify for a tax credit. However, due to delays in completing transactions, particularly complicated ones such as short sales, many purchases may not be finalized before the end of this month. Therefore, the amendment would extend the deadline for a closing to the end of September. Note, however, that the House and Senate still have to pass this bill with this amendment intact before any changes will take effect.
