## New HUDLead-Based PaintRegulations

**Prepared by**
**Office of Lead Hazard Control**
**U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development**

## Note to Audience

**This presentation was developed by the HUD Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control to assist others in understanding the structure and requirements of HUD’s new lead-based paint regulations which cover Federally assisted housing and Federally owned housing which is being sold.**
**Users should ensure they have read and understand the actual regulation.**

## Why is LBP a Concern? 

**About 890,000 children have Elevated Blood Lead levels above CDC limits**
**Irreversible health effects**
**Brain and nervous system damage**
**Reduced intelligence**
**Learning disabilities**

**Childhood lead poisoning is **
**“*****a major, preventable environmental health problem.*****”**** **
**	****	****CDC, 1997**

## Myths about LBP

**Children must eat paint chips to be poisoned**
**Only inner-city children are at risk**
**It is more hazardous to treat LBP than to leave it alone**
**Addressing Lead-Based Paint is an all-or-nothing proposition**
**It costs too much**
**Lead is everywhere, paint is only a small part of the problem**

**Notes:**
All these claims are false.

## Who is most at risk?

**Children under the age of six**
**Pregnant women**
**Workers**

## LBP in Housing - Overview

**Over 60 million homes built before 1978 contain Lead-Based Paint (LBP)**
**20 million homes with LBP hazards**
**4 million homes with LBP hazards have a young child **
**400,000 homes with a young child are in poor condition **_**and**_** lack the funds to correct hazards**
**Regulation Preamble**

## LBP in Residential Housing

**Over 60 million homes built before 1978 contain lead-based paint**
**Some homes are more prone to LBP hazards**
- Older, pre-1960 units
- Poor condition
- Unsafe renovation or maintenance
- Exterior contaminated soil

## Presentation Overview

**Legislation and regulations**
**Disclosure**
**New HUD Regulation **
**	****	****Section 1012/1013 of Title X**
- Introduction and Regulation Structure
- Evaluation and hazard control requirements
- Program requirements
- Implementation

## Legislation

**Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971**
**Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X)**
- Section 1012/1013 of Title X

**“****To reduce the threat of childhood lead poisoning in housing owned, assisted, or transferred by the Federal Government.”**
**Section 1003, Title X**

## Lead Regulations

**Housing and Urban Development (HUD)**
- Housing and health
**Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)**
- Environment and health
**Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)**
- Workplace safety and health
**Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)**
- Lead in consumer products

## HUD Lead Regulations

**Disclosure of Known Lead-Based Paint and LBP Hazards (1996)**
- Published jointly with EPA
- Pre-1978 housing
**Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based Paint Hazards (1999)**
- Covers pre-1978 housing receiving Federal assistance and Federally owned housing being sold
- Revises and consolidates existing HUD regulations

## EPA Lead Regulations

**Disclosure of Known Lead-Based Paint and LBP Hazards (HUD & EPA - Final - 1996) **
**LBP Activities in Target Housing and Child-Occupied Facilities (Final - 1996)**
- Certification and work practices
- State certification programs
**Pre-Renovation Education (Final - 1998)**

**Notes:**
The Disclosure regulations were published jointly with HUD on March 6, 1996 (61 FR 9064). The EPA regulation is at 40 CFR 745 Subpart F. The regulation took effect in two phases, Sept 6, 1996 for multifamily properties and Dec 6, 1996 for properties of one-four units.

The regulation on LBP activities was published on August 29, 1996 (61 FR 45778). It consists of two subparts of 40 CFR 745. Subpart L (Lead-Based Paint Activities) address training, accredition, certification, and work practices. 
Subpart Q (State and Indian Tribal Programs) addresses the requirements for a EPA Authorized LBP Contractor Certification Program. The regulation is presently scheduled to fully take effect in March of 2000.

ThePre-Renovation Education (PRE) regulation (also known as the Renovation and Remodeling regulation) was published on June 1, 1998. The regulation is located at 40 CFR 745 Subpart E.

In addition, EPA has published (June 3, 1998 63 FR 30301) proposed regulation which would establish standards for dust and soil lead hazards. This regulation is not final. The levels are 50 g/ft2 for floors and 250 g/ft2 for interior sills, and 2000 ppm for soil. 

## Disclosure Regulation

**Most pre-78 housing at sale or lease**
**Public and privately owned housing**
**Requires**
- Free educational pamphlet
- Warning statement in contract
- Disclosure of known LBP or LBP hazards
- All available information
- Opportunity for testing
**24 CFR 35 and 40 CFR 745**

## HUD’s 1012/1013 Regulation

**Pre-1978 **_**housing**_** receiving HUD or other Federal assistance**
**Pre-1978 Federally owned **_**housing**_** being sold**
**Requirements**
- Lead Hazard Control based on program
- Required activities vary by type of assistance
**Effective September 15, 2000**
**24 CFR 35 B-D, F-M, R**

**Notes:**
The Section 1012/1013 regulation covers Federally assisted housing and Federally owned housing which is being sold. Housing owned and operated by a Federal agency other than HUD is not covered by this regulation.

The word HOUSING is highlighted because the regulation does not cover “Child Occupied Facilities” unless they are part of a property which is covered by the regulation.

## Hazard Control Strategies

**Strategies vary in stringency, cost, and durability, considering the statute, and:**
- Amount, type and duration of HUD assistance
- Age of housing
- Occupants (rental or owner-occupied)
- Regulation Preamble

**As HUD involvement increases with a residential property, the responsibilities to protect children and families increase****.**

## Strategies for HUD Programs

**Seven strategy levels**
- Safe Work Practices during Rehabilitation
- Ongoing LBP Maintenance
- Visual Assessment and Paint Stabilization
- Risk Assessment and Interim Controls
- LBP Inspection, Risk Assessment and Interim Controls
- Risk Assessment and Abatement of LBP hazards
- LBP Inspection and Abatement of all LBP

## Strategies

**Safe Work Practices during Rehabilitation**
- Prevents low-cost rehabilitation from creating LBP hazards
- Worksite clearance
**Ongoing LBP Maintenance**
- When a continuing HUD relationship exists
- Paint maintenance
- Includes Safe Work Practices
- Worksite clearance

## Strategies

**Visual Assessment, Paint Stabilization, and Clearance**
- Provide housing without deteriorated paint
- Ongoing LBP Maintenance when continuing HUD relationship
**Risk Assessment, Interim Controls, and Clearance**
- Option to conduct Standard Treatments
- Assures LBP hazards are eliminated
- Ongoing LBP Maintenance when continuing HUD relationship

## Strategies

**LBP Inspection and Risk Assessment,   Interim Controls, and Clearance**
- Used on HUD-owned multifamily housing
- Most being sold; no ongoing relationship with HUD; ongoing LBP maintenance not possible
- Inspection provides location of remaining LBP for buyer
- Notification of evaluation
- Notification of hazard control
**Risk Assessment, Abatement of all LBP hazards, and Clearance**
- Used with concurrent substantial Federal rehab
- Assure no new LBP hazards created by rehab

## Strategies

**LBP Inspection, Abatement of all lead-based paint, and Clearance**
- Greatest HUD involvement
- Public housing (abatement during modernization)
- Properties being converted to residential use
- Properties undergoing major rehab financed with HUD/FHA multifamily mortgage insurance
- These types of substantially renovated properties should be as free as possible of future LBP hazards
