View Rule

EPA’s dust-lead hazard standards (DLHS) support the lead-based paint (LBP) activities and disclosure programs under Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 by providing the basis for risk assessors to determine whether dust-lead hazards are present, and apply to target housing (i.e., most pre-1978 housing) and child-occupied facilities (pre-1978 non-residential properties where children 6 years of age or under spend a significant amount of time such as daycare centers and kindergartens). On July 9, 2019, EPA promulgated a final rule to lower the DLHS from 40 micrograms of lead per square foot (µg/ft2) to 10 µg/ft2 for floors, and from 250 µg/ft2 to 100 µg/ft2 for window sills. EPA’s dust-lead clearance levels (DLCL) indicate the amount of lead in dust on a surface following the completion of an abatement activity. On January 6, 2021, EPA promulgated a final rule to lower the DLCL from 40 µg/ft2 to 10 µg/ft2 for floors, and from 250 µg/ft2 to 100 µg/ft2 for window sills. The Agency is now in the process of reconsidering the July 2019 and January 2021 final rules in keeping with new executive orders and concerning the advancement of racial equity and support for underserved communities through the Federal government (EO 13985), the protection of public health and the environment and restoring science to tackle the climate crisis (EO 13990), tackling the climate crisis at home and abroad (EO 14008), and other Administration priorities (such as the Presidential memorandum on restoring trust in government through scientific integrity and evidence-based policymaking). In addition, on May 14, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion to remand without vacatur the 2019 DLHS final rule and directed EPA to reconsider the 2019 DLHS rule in conjunction with a reconsideration of the 2021 DLCL final rule. EPA intends to solicit public comment through a notice of proposed rulemaking.
