Title: Lead-Based Paint Activities; Abatement Amendments for Renovation and Remodeling 
Abstract: In accordance with section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA may consider introducing regulatory requirements for renovation and remodeling contractors who work in target housing and child-occupied facilities where, as a result of their work, lead hazards are created. In anticipation of these requirements, the Agency is reviewing the existing training and certification requirements for abatement contractors codified at 40 CFR part 745, subpart L. The modifications to the abatement requirements will ensure compatibility between the existing requirements and any future renovation requirements. This is necessary because there is considerable overlap between the workforce and techniques associated with the two regulated activities. These revisions will also provide an opportunity for the Agency to address minor technical and procedural amendments that correct long-standing errors in the existing requirements or update them based on program experiences to date.
