Enrique Manzanilla, director of the EPA's Cross Media Division in the Pacific Southwest said enforcing the Right to Know Act "is a priority for the EPA.

Audrey Foster, a spokesperson for HON, offered no elaboration on the EPA's action in stating that it is the office furniture company's intent to conform with environmental regulations.
