The following information collection
request (ICR) covers addresses the paperwork requirements contained
in a proposed rule (RIN 2070-AJ57) that would amend EPA's 2008
lead-based paint renovation, repair, and painting (RRP) rule (73 FR
21692). The 2008 RRP rule established reporting, recordkeeping, and
third-party notification requirements for individuals and firms
conducting renovations in target housing., which is most housing
constructed before 1978, and child-occupied facilities, which are
pre-1978 residential, public, or commercial buildings where
children under 6 are regularly present. The paperwork requirements
of the 2008 RRP rule are addressed in an ICR entitled, Final Rule
Addendum to an Existing EPA ICR Entitled: TSCA Sections 402/404
Training and Certification, Accreditation, and Standards for
Lead-Based Paint Activities (EPA ICR No. 1715.10, OMB Control No.
2070-0155). EPA is proposing amendments to the 2008 RRP final rule
that would require firms to perform dust wipe testing after many
renovations. Under the proposed rule, a report containing the
results of the testing would have to be provided to building owners
and occupants. For a subset of the renovation jobs covered by the
proposed rule, renovation firms would be required to demonstrate
that dust-lead levels remaining in the work area are below
regulatory levels through clearance testing. This rule-related
Information Collection Request (ICR) addresses the incremental
paperwork activities and burden related to the proposed rule
amendments.
US Code:
15
USC 2682 Name of Law: Lead-based paint activities training and
certification
US Code: 15
USC 2684 Name of Law: Authorized State programs
US Code: 15
USC 2687 Name of Law: Regulations
The proposed rule would require
renovation firms to provide owners and occupants with a report
including the results of the dust wipe testing. The rule may result
in an increase in the number of individuals becoming trained as
dust sampling technicians, resulting in additional paperwork
requirements for training providers. The total respondent burden
for renovation firms and training providers is estimated to average
approximately 2.9 million hours per year during the 3 year period
covered by the ICR. The ICR supporting statement provides a
detailed presentation of the estimated paperwork burden and costs
resulting from this proposed rule.
