Title: Lead-Based Paint Activities; Amendments for Renovation, Repair and Painting 
Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency is developing a comprehensive program for the management of renovation, repair and painting activities involving lead-based paint hazards. The program will be comprised of a combination of approaches including an extensive education and outreach campaign for lead-safe work practices and training for industry, an outreach campaign designed to expand consumer awareness and create demand for the use of lead-safe work practices, and the proposal of regulatory requirements. On January 10, 2006, the EPA proposed regulatory requirements for renovation, repair and painting contractors involved in activities where, as a result of their work, lead hazards are created. [Modifications to the abatement requirements will also be considered to ensure compatibility between the existing requirements and any future renovation requirements.]
