On June 21, 2013, Bill Purdue from the American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA) met with EPA staff to discuss the proposed rule on Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products.  He specifically wanted to discuss the proposed definitions of laminated products and hardwood plywood and the implications of those definitions.  He asked for some clarity regarding the definitions and expressed some concerns about the implications of the definitions.  EPA staff encouraged him to submit his questions, concerns, and recommendations to the public docket in regulations.gov so that EPA can carefully consider his comments and respond to them in the final rule.
