This collection applies to reporting and recordkeeping requirements found in Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) sections 402 and 404. Section 402 requires that individuals conducting activities that prevent, detect and eliminate hazards associated with lead-based paint in residential facilities are properly trained and certified, that training programs providing instruction in such activities are accredited, and that these activities are conducted according to reliable, effective and safe work practice standards. Section 404 includes reporting and recordkeeping requirements that apply to states and Indian Tribes that seek federal authorization to administer and enforce state and tribal programs regulating lead-based paint activities based on the section 402 regulations. Together these requirements ensure the availability of a trained and qualified workforce to identify and address lead-based paint hazards in residences, and protect the general public from exposure to lead hazards.
