Request for information on chronic hazards associated with gas ranges and proposed solutions

Hello, On behalf of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), I am submitting the following comments (see attached PDF) to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in response to its Request for Information (RFI) on Chronic Hazards Associated With Gas Ranges and Proposed Solutions – Docket No. CPSC-2023-0009; 88 Fed. Reg., 14150 (published March 7, 2023). NAHB is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association that represents more than 140,000 members and includes more than 700 affiliated state and local associations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. NAHB members design, construct, and supply single-family homes, build and manage multifamily projects, and remodel existing homes. In the single-family market, NAHB's members construct custom housing as well as homes for first-time home buyers, including low- and moderate-income families and individuals. NAHB's multifamily members build and manage rental housing for renters in market-rate, affordable, and federally assisted multifamily housing. Our members are proud to construct over 80 percent of the homes produced each year that provide shelter for this nation's families. NAHB appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback to CPSC as it gathers information about health and safety impacts from conventional cooking products. Please find attached our responses to some of the questions posed by this RFI. Should CPSC staff seek clarification or would like to discuss our responses further, please contact me at 202-266-8300. Sincerely, Paul Karrer Program Manager, Energy Codes and Standards PKarrer@nahb.org 202-266-8300
