Title: Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures (FR-3482) | |
Abstract: The Office of Lead Hazard Control was established by Congress within the Office of the Secretary of HUD. The Office provides overall direction to HUD's lead-based paint activities. Currently, 24 CFR part 35 addresses the Department's requirements on lead hazards in housing. Additional requirements are specified for each housing program in the CFR part pertaining to each program. Sections 1012 and 1013 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, which is title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (title X), require 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 pre-1978 housing that may be occupied by young children. Because of the scope of the problem, the strategy will be implemented on a priority basis and, in part, is to be based on guidelines issued by the Department on August 25, 1995, on the conduct of federally supported work involving risk assessments inspections, interim controls 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. HUD is consolidating in a revised part 35 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. Proposed regulations were published for public comment on June 7, 1996. | |
