We received the rule on April 11, 2008. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on April 22, 2008. 73 Fed. Reg. 21,692. The final rule addresses lead-based paint hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint in target housing, as defined in the Toxic Substances Control Act, and child-occupied facilities. The final rule establishes requirements for training renovators, other renovation workers, and dust sampling technicians and for certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms. The final rule also establishes requirements for accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling technician training, for renovation work practices, and for recordkeeping. Finally, the rule allows interested states, territories and Indian tribes to apply for and receive authorization to administer and enforce all of the elements of these new renovation requirements. Enclosed is our assessment of the EPA's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that EPA complied with the applicable requirements. GAO-08-734R
