Federal Regulations and Guidelines
There are cases where the State Statute and Administrative
Rule are more stringent than the Federal Regulations. In those
cases, follow the stricter standard.
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title 10)
outlines a comprehensive federal strategy for reducing lead paint hazard
exposure. The act is often referred to as Title X because it was enacted
as Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–550).
Title 10 and other regulations can be found at www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/regulation.htm.
HUD Technical Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based
Paint Hazards in Housing (http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/healthyhomes/lead.cfm)
commonly known as the Guidelines were issued pursuant to
Section 1017 of Title X. They are based on the concepts, definitions,
and requirements set forth by Congress in Title X. The Guidelines
provide detailed, comprehensive, technical information on how to
identify lead-based paint hazards in housing and how to control such
hazards safely and efficiently.
An amendment to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to include
Title IV Lead Exposure Reduction http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/ch53schIV.html)
provided for the authority to define hazardous levels of lead in paint,
dust and soil (www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/regulation.htm).
