EPA issued a final rule to expand the coverage of the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule by eliminating the "opt out" provision in the 2008 rule. Once the rule becomes effective 60 days after publication, renovation firms will no longer be exempted from the training and work practice requirements of the RRP rule by obtaining certification from the owner of a residence that no child under age 6 or pregnant woman resides in the home and the home is not a child-occupied facility.

It will be interesting over the next year to see what this ruling will mean to additional cost for the consumer. If there is any opposition to this new ruling, it will have to come from the general public and not the remodeling industry.
