Stat.

§ 254.176

(1)

and

(2) authorizes

the department

to establish

to certification requirements

by rule,

with

the exception

of individuals

who

are licensed,

certified

or registered by

the Department

of Commerce

(Comm)

under

Wis.

Stat.

ch.

145,

for certain plumbing

and

fire protection

system activities,

within

the scope

of their Comm credential;

and companies

that

are registered

with

the Comm

under

Wis.

Stat.

§ 101.178,

to perform

heating, ventilating

or

air conditioning

installation

or servicing

activities,

within

the scope

of their Comm registration.

In my opinion

these limited certification

exceptions

do

not affect application

and enforcement

of the lead renovation

training

and

safe practice requirements

for these individuals

and companies. The DHS certification

process

requires applications

and

fees

that

are separate

and distinct

from any training required. 6. Wis.

Stat.

§ 254.15

directs

the department

to develop

and implement

a comprehensive

statewide lead poisoning

or lead exposure

and treatment

program

that includes

rules

for lead hazard reduction requirements,

and related certification,

accreditation

and approval requirements.

Wis. Stat.

§ 254.115 authorizes

the denial, nonrenewal

and revocation

of

a certification

in specified circumstances. 7. Wis.

Stat.

§ 254.167 authorizes

the department

to promulgate

rules

to specify procedures

for investigating,

testing

or sampling

painted, varnished

or other finished

surfaces

that

may contain lead. 8. Wis.

Stat.

§ 254.178

directs

the department

to promulgate

rules establishing requirements

for accreditation

of lead training

courses

and approval

of lead instructors. 9. Wis.

Stat.

§ 254.179

§ 101.178,

Stats. Plalu language

analysis: The rules under

this order require individuals,

companies,

and government

agencies

who perform

or offer

to perform renovation

activities

to

be certified

by

the department,

be trained

and have appropriately trained

staff,

to distribute renovation information,

keep records,

and

to follow

the appropriate

work practices

when conducting

renovation

activities

in dwellings constructed

prior

to 1978 (target housing) and child-occupied

facilities,

including

common

areas, constructed

before

1978

that provide

child

care services, preschools,

or public

or private

schools.

The rules

also require

that training providers implement

training

course curriculum

for renovation

training

and receive renovation

training

course accreditation

from

the department

before offering renovation

training

courses

and

that course instructors meet

the qualifications

and receive approval

before teaching renovation

training

courses. The rules promulgated

under

this order

are similar

to the requirements

under

40

§ CFR 745.80

to 745.91

and 745.225,

the EPA requirements

for training, certification,

work practices

and recordkeeping to perform renovation

activities,

except

that unlike

current

EPA regulation,

40 CFR

§ 745.82

(c),

the rules under

this order

do

not permit

a property

owner

to exempt

a contractor

from following

work practice requirements

by signing

an acknowledgement

that

no pregnant

woman

or child

under

age

6 resides

in the dwelling.

The department

determined

not

to include

a similar provision
