Express your concerns to EPA about the proposed MP&M rule. This regulation is potentially devastating for the finishing industry, and EPA needs to hear your voice. Provided below are model comments on the proposed MP&M rule that you can submit to EPA on your company's letterhead. You can use the document "as-is" or modify it to address any concerns of particular interest to your facility. You may want to have more than one person from your company submit comments to EPA. A longer version of these model comments can be found here.
The deadline for filing comments on this proposal is July 2, 2001. If you submit written comments, you must submit the original and three copies to the address on the comment letter. You can also submit your comments electronically to mpm.comments@epa.gov. For additional information on submitting comments, please refer to the January 3, 2001 Federal Register notice for the proposed rule. 66 Fed. Reg. 424 (2001).

If you or your company has already contributed to the MP&M fund, we thank you and kindly ask that you consider another contribution to this most important fight. If you have not yet sent a contribution to the fund, we remind you that our efforts to defeat EPA's action will be driven by the industry's ability to raise the resources necessary to mount a successful challenge. While some companies can afford to give more and others may have to give less, no company can afford to ignore this issue.
