With apoligies to the Marines!

Got my shiny new EPA Lead RRP Certificate yesterday! and then today, an email came from the EPA with this in it.

(Your Tax Dollars at Work :mad:)

EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm:

Thank you again for becoming an U. S. EPA Lead-Safe certified firm. By
now, you should have received your certificate in the mail. As an EPA
Lead-Safe Certified Firm, if you choose, you are now authorized to use
and display the attached custom logo with your certification number.
As a reminder, provided below are EPA's use guidelines for your logo.

For further questions regarding your application or the logo, please
contact the National Lead Information Center (NLIC) at 1-800-424-LEAD.

EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm Logo Use Guidelines

What is the Lead-Safe Certified Firm Logo?

The Lead-Safe Certified Firm Logo identifies a firm as certified under
the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule. The colors used to
make the 2-color logo are Pantone 362C (green) and Pantone 660C (blue).
The font is Helvetica.

What are the guidelines for using the Logo?

The Logo must be reproduced so that all of its components are legible.
The Logo must not be altered or distorted in any way.

You MAY --

· Use the Logo to identify your firm as an RRP-certified firm.
Firms that are not RRP-certified may not use the Logo.
· Use the Logo in brochures, advertisements, Web sites, proposals,
bills, signs, uniforms, vehicles and other materials promoting or
identifying your firm.
· Use the Logo on documents or other materials in black and white or
color (2-color or 4-color versions are available).

You MAY NOT --

· Use the Logo in any manner that would imply EPA endorsement of a
company, its products or services.
· Reduce the Logo to a size smaller than one inch wide by 0.687
inches in height.
· Allow a firm that is not RRP-certified (including your
subcontractors) to use the Logo.

EPA will monitor the use of all Logos. If necessary, EPA will address
failure to comply with these Logo Guidelines. To report a non-compliant
use of the Logo, please contact EPA at 1-800-424-LEAD

I've been wondering where my fancy logo email is. Then I realized I pulled a Paul and forgot to put my email address on the application.

Could be up to 6 months to getting that fixed I'm sorry to say.

Thankfully I still received my Firm Cert, but it looks like I'll have to delay my 'lead safe' tattoo appointment until I get the official artwork.

whew, got my email at about 9:00 last night. I can't believe that an EPA employee would actually be working then though.
