WASHINGTON, D.C.- Small contractors around the country will now have more time to comply with new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead paint abatement regulations as a result of the efforts of Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) and Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma). Last month, these Senators led a successful effort to amend the Fiscal Year 2010 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill to provide contractors with more time to receive mandated training in order to avoid onerous fines.
