Title: Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures (FR-3482) | |
Abstract: The Office of Lead-Based Paint Abatement and Poisoning Prevention was established by Congress within the Office of the Secretary of HUD. The Office provides overall direction to HUD's lead-based paint activities. ^PCurrently, part 35 of HUD's regulations addresses the Department's requirements on lead hazards in housing. The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, which is title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, requires substantial revisions to HUD's current regulations for the evaluation and control of lead-based paint hazards in federally assisted and federally owned housing. The legislation evidences a concern with developing a national strategy to build the infrastructure necessary to eliminate lead-based paint hazards in all nonelderly, pre-1978 housing. Because of the scope of the problem, the strategy will be implemented on a priority basis, and is to be based in part on guidelines issued by the Secretary on August 25, 1995, on the conduct of federally supported work involving risk assessments, inspections, interim control, and abatement of lead-based paint hazards ("Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing"). The revisions required by title X will affect HUD's housing programs and the housing programs of other Federal agencies. ^PHUD is consolidating, in new parts 36 and 37 of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the multitude of lead-based paint regulations found throughout HUD programs and will make them consistent, creating a single point of reference for the Department's lead-based paint requirements. | |
