Title: Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance; Response to Elevated Blood Lead Levels (FR-5816) | |
Abstract:
This rule amends HUD’s lead-based paint regulations on reducing blood-lead levels in children under age 6 who reside in federally-owned or assisted housing constructed prior to 1978. Specifically, the rule formally adopts the revised definition of elevated blood lead levels in children under the age of 6 based on the definition issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The rule also establishes more comprehensive testing and evaluation procedures for the housing where such children reside. In 2012, the CDC issued guidance revising its definition of elevated blood lead level in children under age 6 to be a blood lead level based on the distribution of blood lead levels in the national population. Since CDC revised its definition, HUD has applied it to funds awarded under its Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control grant program and its Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration grant program, and has updated its Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing to reflect this definition. Through this rule, HUD formally adopts in regulation the CDC’s definition on elevated blood lead levels in children under the age of 6 and addresses the additional elements of the CDC guidance pertaining to assisted housing.
