Statement from EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson:

EPA is proud to be a part of the Bush Administration’s efforts to protect American consumers by developing smarter solutions to import safety. Through greater collaboration, improved technology, and focused enforcement, EPA will better ensure U.S. imports are safe and comply with our tough environmental standards. EPA has a history of preventing and reducing the risks of illegal imports, and this action plan makes the message clear: America will not tolerate the importation of harmful products or goods.
