    (b) Selection Criteria.--The Secretary shall make grants under 
subsection (a) on the basis of the activities proposed to be carried 
out with the grants and on the basis of the following criteria for 
approving applications for the grants:
            (1) The extent to which the proposed activities will reduce 
        the risk of lead poisoning to children at the eligible 
        facilities involved, with priority given to facilities that

        6.

        based paint hazards at the eligible facilities.

        described in subsection (a) without a grant under such 
        subsection.

        activities.

        abatements are carried out by certified contractors in 
        accordance with section 402 of the Toxic Substances Control
