Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) addendum revises an existing, approved ICR (EPA ICR No. 2507.01, OMB Control No. 2070-0195) which covers the reporting and recordkeeping requirements for individuals or firms conducting lead-based paint activities or renovation in or on houses, apartments, or child-occupied facilities built before 1978, under the authority of sections 402 and 404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U. S. C. 2682, 2684; see Attachment 1). This addendum incorporates reporting and recordkeeping requirements from a final rule amendment that eliminates the hands-on requirement from the renovator refresher training course. EPA expects training providers that are currently accredited to teach the renovator refresher training to apply for accreditation to teach the course via e-learning (i.e., via the internet). The Agency is also eliminating jurisdictions requirements under the LBP Activities program, which had required that training providers, firms and individuals seek certification in each jurisdiction (e.g., a State) where the organization or person wants to work. Only changes that would result from the rule are included in this addendum. Burden and activities in the existing ICR that are not affected by the final rule are not included in this document.
