{"abstract":"As part of a settlement of litigation over certain post- renovation cleaning requirements of the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule, the EPA agreed to propose a number of revisions to the 2008 RRP rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards for persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities and to subsequently take final action on the proposed rule by July 15, 2011. The proposed rule published on May 6, 2010. EPA has decided not to promulgate dust wipe testing and clearance requirements as proposed. However, EPA is promulgating several other revisions to the RRP rule, including a provision allowing a certified renovator to collect a paint chip sample and send it to a recognized laboratory for analysis in lieu of using a lead test kit, minor changes to the training program accreditation application process, standards for e-learning in accredited training programs, minimum enforcement provisions for authorized state and tribal renovation programs, and minor revisions to the training and certification requirements for renovators. EPA is also promulgating clarifications to the requirements for vertical containment on exterior renovation projects, the prohibited or restricted work practice provisions, and the requirements for high- efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums. Today's action is EPA's final action on all aspects of the May 6, 2010 proposal.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2011/08/05/2011-19417.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":745,"title":40}],"citation":"76 FR 47918","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective October 4, 2011.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049","FRL-8881-8"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2011-19417","effective_on":"2011-10-04","end_page":47946,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2011/08/05/2011-19417.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/08/05/2011-19417/lead-clearance-and-clearance-testing-requirements-for-the-renovation-repair-and-painting-program","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2011-19417?publication_date=2011-08-05","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2011-08-05/2011-19417/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":29,"page_views":{"count":632,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 18:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-08-05/pdf/2011-19417.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2011-08-05","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2011/08/05/2011-19417.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2070-AJ57":{"issue":"201104","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2070-AJ57/lead-clearance-and-clearance-testing-requirements-for-the-renovation-repair-and-painting-program","title":"Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201104&RIN=2070-AJ57&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2070-AJ57"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Lead Test Kit Individual Company Meeting with ESCA Tech, Inc.","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1457"},{"title":"Lead Test Kit Individual Company Meeting with Joint Trade Associations","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1456"},{"title":"Lead Test Kit Individual Company Meeting with 3M","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1455"},{"title":"Lead Test Kit Stakeholder Meeting – Meeting Transcript","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1442"},{"title":"Lead Test Kit Stakeholder Meeting - Attendance List","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1441"},{"title":"Lead Test Kit Stakeholder Meeting – EPA Background Presentation","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1440"},{"title":"Documentation of Review under Executive Order 12866/13563 (LRRP Clearance Final Rule)","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1438"},{"title":"Documentation of Interagency Review under TSCA Section 411: Table of Contents","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1437"},{"title":"Response to Comments: Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1436"},{"title":"Discussion of Potential Costs and Benefits Associated with the Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program Final Rule","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049-1435"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049","supporting_documents_count":633,"docket_id":"EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-08-25T08:06:58Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":47918,"subtype":null,"title":"Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program","toc_doc":"Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair and Painting Program","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Environmental protection","Lead","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Rule","volume":76}
