Title: Lead; Amendment to the Opt-Out and Recordkeeping Provisions in the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program
Abstract: As part of a lawsuit settlement, EPA agreed to make several revisions to the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards on persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. In October of 2009, EPA proposed amendments to the opt-out provision that currently exempts a renovator from the training and work practice requirements of the rule when he or she obtains a certification from the owner of a residence he or she occupies that no child under age 6 or pregnant women resides in the home and the home is not a child-occupied facility. EPA also proposed revisions that involve renovation firms providing the owner with a copy of the records they are currently required to maintain to demonstrate compliance with the training and work practice requirements of the RRP rule and, if different, providing the information to the occupant of the building being renovated or the operator of the child-occupied facility. In addition to the proposed amendments, EPA considered various minor amendments to the regulations concerning training provider accreditations, renovator certifications and State and Tribal program requirements. In May, 2010, EPA published a final rule eliminating the opt-out provision and finalizing the other provisions.
