The Federal Wood Industries Coalition (FWIC), a broad-based group convened by the Composite Panel Association, which supports adopting California’s CARB rule as a national standard, submitted a final letter to EPA last week. The FWIC includes Association of Woodworking & Furnishing Suppliers, Business & Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association, Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association and National Wood Flooring Association to name a few. In its letter, FWIC advocates for a specific de minimis exemption; the replacement of EPA’s proposal for non-complying lots with a 72-hour notice provision; and the protection of confidential business information.
