ARMED SERVICE MEMBERS HAVE ANOTHER YEAR FOR HOME BUYER TAX CREDIT. For most Americans, the home buyer tax credit expired on April 30. But Congress, recognizing that many members of the military, foreign service and intelligence communities may have missed out on the opportunity to take advantage of the credit due to being posted overseas, has given service members more time to take advantage of it. The law provides qualified service members who served on official extended duty outside of the United States for 90 days or more at any time between January 1, 2009, to April 30, 2010, another year to buy a home and claim the credit. Qualified service members who are eligible for the home buyer tax credit now have until April 30, 2011, to sign a sales contract, and until June 30, 2011, to settle and close on the home. Both the $8,000 first-time and $6,500 repeat home buyer tax credits are included in this rule. For more information on the home buyer tax credit, go to: www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com.

As the US Environmental Protection Agency's deadline for obtaining training and certification to work in pre-1978 homes approaches, remodelers, contractors, and others are searching for lead paint training opportunities. The complex Lead: Renovation, Repair and Painting regulation requires home owner education, containment, work practices, clean up, cleaning verification and record keeping practices went into effect on April 22, 2010. For more info on the lead paint rule, visit www.nahb.org/leadpaint. Email Therese Crahan or call 800-368-5242 X8211 with questions. ♦♦♦♦ The EPA has delayed enforcement actions regarding training and certification requirements until October 1, 2010. The EPA released the enforcement delay memo on June 18, explaining that contractors who have enrolled in Certified Renovator training with an EPA-approved training provider by September 30 will not face enforcement as long as the training is completed by December 30. However, the EPA will continue to enforce against violations of the work practices stipulated in the rule. Remodelers will need to give consumers the pre-renovation pamphlet (Renovate Right), set up containment, avoid prohibited practices, conduct cleaning, and complete cleaning verification.
