EPA Makes Changes t o Lead-Saf e Re-cert if icat ion Process : Remodelers who are certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to work on homes that may contain lead paint under the Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) rule now have the option to complete refresher training online, according to an EPA announcement. However, EPA re-certifications obtained via an online refresher course will be valid for only three years ? versus five years for hands-on training courses ? and can only be exercised every other re-certification cycle. ?As a longtime advocate for a simplified re-certification process, NAHB Remodelers appreciates that EPA?s changes provide some flexibility, but the limited and convoluted parameters of the online training option are unnecessarily complicated and could affect the number of renovators who opt to become re-certified,? said NAHB Remodelers Chair Tim Shigley, CGR, CAPS, CGP, GMB, GMR, a remodeler from Wichita, Kan. ?Whether they choose to refresh their training online or in person, with the March 31 re-certification deadline looming for over 100,000 remodelers, and thousands more later in 2016 and 2017, remodelers are left with precious little time to meet their re-certification obligations.? Additionally, certified renovators who were grandfathered in under a HUD or EPA lead-based paint training course before the RRP rule was adopted must attend a refresher course with a hands-on component. The rule also made several streamlining and clarifying changes to RRP provisions that apply to training providers. EPA?s changes only apply to those states where EPA administers the program. The 14 states that administer their own programs will have to take legislative or regulatory action to adopt the online refresher course option. The White House Office of Management and Budget released the final rule to EPA on Jan. 21. For online or in-person refresher training, remodelers should contact the HBA, or you canfind a course on EPA?s website. More information on how to determine specific deadlines can be found usingNAHB?swebsite, ?What You Need to Know about EPA Lead-Safe Re-certification.? NAHBApplaudsPassageof HouseResolutionthat WouldOverturnWOTUSRule The U.S. House of Representatives on Jan. 13 approved a Senate-passed Congressional Review Act resolution (S. J. Res. 22) that would rescind the ill-advised ?waters of the United States? (WOTUS) rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The White House has threatened to veto the measure. The rule went into effect on Aug. 28, 2015, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit enacted a nationwide stay on Oct. 9. Commending the House for approving the resolution, NAHB Chairman Tom Woods issued an official statement that said: ?By dramatically extending the areas in which home builders are required to get permits, the rule will lead to bureaucratic delays, increase project costs and mitigation fees, and harm housing affordability. Two courts have already ruled that there is a high likelihood that the rule is illegal and have temporarily stopped its implementation. These court decisions highlight the fact that there are serious problems with the rule and that EPA and the Corps should scrap it and go back to the drawing board. ?NAHB urges President Obama to allow this resolution to take effect by signing it when it reaches his desk.?

NewReport HighlightsCost Savingsof StreamlinedDevelopment Reviews Land development review processes and regulations aren?t glamorous. But their impacts on the cost of new housing strike a chord with most developers and builders across the country, and for good reason: When money is lost as a result of project delays, that money won?t likely be recovered. Within the last decade, development approvals in many parts of the country have gone from taking just a few months to dragging on for two years or longer ? sometimes much longer. And that time equals money. NAHB recently released a report, ?Development Process Efficiency: Cutting through the Red Tape,? highlighting specific examples of developers, builders, land use officials and other stakeholders working together to improve the review and approval process and better control housing costs to create a win-win for all parties. Inefficiency doesn?t just squeeze the balance sheets of developers and builders. It can also negatively impact housing affordability, increase government offices? administrative costs and stifle economic growth. Washington state is one example from the report where the state auditor?s office created the Local Government Performance Center to improve the permitting process. In 2012, the center launched the Lean Academy to provide training to government representatives involved in the permitting process, teaching them how to identify inefficiencies and implement streamlining initiatives. Several Washington counties that participated in the Lean Academy have reported substantial reductions in permitting approval times. Clark, Kitsap and Whatcom counties, for example, have all reduced their average times to approve residential permits by more than twothirds. A streamlining initiative implemented by the Montgomery County (Maryland) executive in 2012 produced notable reductions in review times. Since that time, record plat processing declined from 20-30 weeks to 8-12 weeks. Site plan reviews that used to take more than a year must now be completed within 120 days. And the time frame for building permit approvals dropped from 12 weeks to 30 days. The County's analysis found that shortening the time from concept to occupancy by one year could save the developer as much as 20 percent of the project cost.

Due to the rural nature of Montana construction projects are often a great distance from a clinic, hospital, or physician, that is reasonably accessible in terms of time and distance to the worksite. OSHA mandates that if the worksite is not within a ?reasonable? response time (3-4 Minutes) for the treatment of injured employees, a person who has a valid certificate in CPR training from the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross, or equivalent training that can be verified by documentary evidence must be at the worksite to render CPR or basic first aid. The primary requirement addressed by these standards is that an employer must ensure prompt first aid treatment for injured employees, either by providing for the availability of a trained provider at the worksite, or by ensuring that emergency treatment services are within reasonable proximity of the worksite. The basic purpose of these standards is to assure that adequate care is available in the critical minutes between the occurrence of an injury and the availability of physician or hospital care for the injured employee. d One option these standards provide employers is to ensure that a member of the workforce has been trained in first aid. This option is, for most employers, a feasible and low-cost way to protect employees, as well as putting the employer clearly in compliance with the standards. OSHA recommends, but does not require, that every workplace include one or more employees who are trained and certified in first aid, including CPR. The other option for employers is to rely upon the reasonable proximity of an infirmary, clinic or hospital. OSHA has consistently taken the view that the reasonable availability of a trained emergency service provider, such as fire department, paramedics or EMS responders, would be equivalent to the "infirmary, clinic, or hospital" specified by the literal wording of the standards. Emergency medical services can be provided either on-site or by evacuating the employee to an off-site facility in cases where that can be done safely. However, the requirements that emergency medical services must be "reasonably accessible" or "in near proximity to the workplace" are stated only in general terms. An employer who contemplates relying on assistance from outside emergency responders as an alternative to providing a first-aid-trained employee must take a number of factors into account. The employer must take appropriate steps prior to any accident (such as making arrangements with the service provider) to ascertain that emergency medical assistance will be promptly available when an injury occurs. While the standards do not prescribe a number of minutes, OSHA has long interpreted the term "near proximity" to mean that emergency care must be available within no more than 3-4 minutes from the workplace, an interpretation that has been upheld by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and by federal courts. Medical literature establishes that, for serious injuries such as those involving stopped breathing, cardiac arrest, or uncontrolled bleeding, first aid treatment must be provided within the first few minutes to avoid permanent medical impairment or death. Accordingly, in workplaces where serious accidents such as those involving falls, suffocation, electrocution, or amputation are possible, emergency medical services must be available within 3-4 minutes, if there is no employee on the site who is trained to render first aid. OSHA exercises discretion in enforcing the first aid requirements in particular cases. OSHA recognizes that a somewhat longer response time of up to 15 minutes may be reasonable in workplaces, such as offices, where the possibility of such serious work-related injuries is more remote. The first aid training standards at 29 CFR 1910.151 and 1926.50(c) generally apply throughout the industries that they cover. Other standards which apply to certain specific hazards or industries make employee first aid training mandatory, and reliance on outside emergency responders is not an allowable alternative. For example, see 29 CFR 1910. 266(i)(7) (mandatory first aid training for logging employees), and 29 CFR 1910.269(b) (requiring persons trained in first aid at work locations in the electric power industry). Continued... ...Continued The bloodborne pathogens standard at 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2) requires employers to provide training to any employees who have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, such as employees assigned medical or first aid duties by their employers. The standard at 29 CFR 1910.1030(b) defines "occupational exposure" as "reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that may result from the performance of an employee's duties." If an employee is trained in first aid and identified by the employer as responsible for rendering medical assistance as part of his/ her job duties, that employee is covered by the bloodborne pathogens standard. You may find these standards on OSHA's website, http:/ / www.osha.gov by following the link to "standards" and searching for "first aid," "blood borne pathogens," "logging," etc. Pl ease cont act us at (406)442-4479 t o RSVP so we can have adequat e t ext books and cert if icat ion mat erial s.

In 2013, 53% of builders rated labor as a significant problem, followed by 61% in 2014 and 71% in 2015. An expected skilled labor shortage can constrain an improving housing market. The monthly NAHB/ Wells Fargo Housing Market Index often includes a set of ?special? questions on a topic of current interest to the housing industry. In January 2016, the special questions asked builders about the problems they faced in 2015 and expect to face in 2016. The second most significant problem was Cost/Availability of Developed Lots for 59% of builders for 2016. In 2013, the Cost/Availability of Lots was rated significant by 46% of builders who responded to the survey. That share increased to 55% in 2014 and again to 58% for 2015. Both the availability of labor and lots highlight the expected constraints of a recovering housing market. Federal Environmental Regulations and Policies is expected to remain a significant problem for 51% of builders in 2016. In 2013, the federal environmental regulations and policies was rated a significant problem by 46% of builders, increasing to 53% in 2014 and then 55% in 2015. Building Material Prices continue to be a problem for builders. In 2013, 68% of builders rated building material prices as a significant problem, but that share decreased to 58% in 2014 and further declined to 42% in 2015. However, 56% of builders responding to the latest survey expect it to be a problem in 2016. At 55% each, the Concern about the Employment/Economic situation and Impact/Hook-up/Inspection or other Fees are other significant problems expected by a majority of builders in 2016. The Concern about the Employment/Economic situation was a significant problem in 2013 for 60% of reporting builders, the issue dropped in significance to 51% in 2014, and again dropped to 47% in 2015. On the other hand, theImpact/Hook-up/Inspection or other Fees was a problem faced by 46% of builders in 2013, 52% in 2014 and 53% in 2015. 1645 Avenue D, Suite F , Billings, MT 59102
