Title: Lead-Based Paint PreRenovation Information 

Dissemination—TSCA Sec. 406(b). 

Abstract: This information collection 

involves third-party notification to 

owners and occupants of housing that 

will allow these individuals to avoid 

exposure to lead-contaminated dust and 

lead-based paint debris that are 

sometimes generated during renovations 

of housing where lead-based paint is 

present, thereby protecting public 

health. Since young children are 

especially susceptible to the hazards of 

lead, owners and occupants with 

children can take action to protect their 

children from lead poisonings. Section 

406(b) of the Toxic Substances Control 

Act (TSCA) requires EPA to promulgate 

regulations requiring certain persons 

who perform renovations of target 

housing for compensation to provide a 

lead hazard information pamphlet 

(developed under TSCA section 406(a)) 

to the owner and occupants of such 

housing prior to beginning the 

renovation. Those who fail to provide 

the pamphlet as required may be subject 

to both civil and criminal sanctions. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745, subpart E). Respondents may 

claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA 

will disclose information that is covered 

by a CBI claim only to the extent 

permitted by, and in accordance with, 

the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 

76940 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2004 / Notices 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about one and a 

half hours per response. Burden means 

the total time, effort or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain or disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; develop, acquire, 

install and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating and verifying information, 

processing and maintaining 

information, and disclosing and 

providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements; train personnel to be able 

to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Persons who perform renovations of 

certain types of housing, constructed 

prior to 1978, for compensation. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated No. of Respondents:

2,482,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3,461,542 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$111,929,595. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This 

request reflects an increase of 522,996 

hours (from 2,938,546 hours to 

3,461,542 hours) in the total estimated 

respondent burden from that currently 

in the OMB inventory. This increase is 

due to an increase in the estimated 

number of annual renovation events, as 

detailed in the Supporting Statement for 

this ICR. The increased number of 

renovation events is the result of 

increased spending on renovations and 

reflects a general economic trend. The 

change in burden represents an 

adjustment.
