2 issue areas, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.
Manufacturing MAN
Participated in meeting with California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA representatives on the treatment of laminated products under the Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products. BIFMA supported legislation signed by the President in 2010 creating a national formaldehyde rule mirroring the "CARB Rule" so that requirements would be uniform throughout the nation. BIFMA has worked through the Federal Wood Industries Coalition to voice any concerns on implementation of the rule and seeks the least disruptive path for fabricators to comply with the new program.
