{"abstract":"EPA is issuing a final rule under the authority of section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to address lead- based paint hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint in target housing and child- occupied facilities. \"Target housing\" is defined in TSCA section 401 as any housing constructed before 1978, except housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child under age 6 resides or is expected to reside in such housing) or any 0-bedroom dwelling. Under this rule, a child-occupied facility is a building, or a portion of a building, constructed prior to 1978, visited regularly by the same child, under 6 years of age, on at least two different days within any week (Sunday through Saturday period), provided that each day's visit lasts at least 3 hours and the combined weekly visits last at least 6 hours, and the combined annual visits last at least 60 hours. Child- occupied facilities may be located in public or commercial buildings or in target housing. This rule establishes requirements for training renovators, other renovation workers, and dust sampling technicians; for certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms; for accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling technician training; for renovation work practices; and for recordkeeping. Interested States, Territories, and Indian Tribes may apply for and receive authorization to administer and enforce all of the elements of these new renovation requirements.","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/2008/04/22/E8-8141.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":745,"title":40}],"citation":"73 FR 21692","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective June 23, 2008.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPPT-2005-0049","FRL-8355-7"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E8-8141","effective_on":"2008-06-23","end_page":21769,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2008/04/22/E8-8141.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/04/22/E8-8141/lead-renovation-repair-and-painting-program","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E8-8141?publication_date=2008-04-22","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2008-04-22/E8-8141/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":78,"page_views":{"count":2867,"last_updated":"2026-09-23 00:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-04-22/pdf/E8-8141.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2008-04-22","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2008/04/22/E8-8141.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2070-AC83":{"issue":"200710","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2070-AC83/lead-based-paint-amendments-for-renovation-repair-and-painting","title":"Lead-Based Paint; Amendments for Renovation, Repair and Painting","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200710&RIN=2070-AC83&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2070-AC83"],"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":"2011-11-14T03:36:12Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":21692,"subtype":null,"title":"Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program","toc_doc":"Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Environmental protection","Lead","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Rule","volume":73}
