These are overdue but essential steps to protect the many thousands of Americans who are at risk from exposure to MC paint removers in homes and workplaces. The attached letter outlines the critical steps that we believe EPA must follow in connection with finalizing the rule. Adopting these steps is critical to assuring the safety of paint removal products and eliminating the risks of harm that users of these products now face. Please contact me with any questions about the letter. We would like to meet with EPA staff about the proposal in the next week. Thank you, Liz Hitchcock, Acting Executive Director Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families rlizhitchcock@saferchemicals.org Ex! 6 ! i ________________________________! Sierra Club v.
