L )s:/7www.epa.gov/office-inspector-general/report-review-hotline-complaint- conceming-cost-and-benefit-estimates-epas I would note that one of the commitments made by the EPA to the OIG was to collect better data but they made the commitment to do so in the context of a separate rulemaking (the development of an RRP rule for Public & Commercial Buildings) and that survey is currently underway. NAHB individually and as part of an industry coalition has called into question the efficacy of this effort. While the data may be useful to the residential program collecting it in the context of the Public & Commercial Buildings rule has never seemed appropriate or truly illustrative given a range of other differences between the two rules. Furthermore, the data is being collected prior to establishing a hazard for Public & Commercial Buildings. NAHB looks forward to continuing the dialogue with EPA on this program and we would appreciate the opportunity to set up a meeting with you and your team to discuss these issues further.
