Approach for Estimating Exposures 

and Incremental Health Effects From 

Lead Due to Renovation, Repair, and 

Painting Activities in Public and 

Commercial Buildings; Notice of 

Availability and Request for Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is currently in the 

process of determining whether or not 

lead-based paint hazards are created by 

renovation, repair, and painting (RRP) 

activities in public and commercial 

buildings (P&CBs), as required under 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA). EPA is making the following 

documents available for public review 

and comment before they undergo 

external peer review: ‘‘Approach for 

Estimating Exposures and Incremental 

Health Effects from Lead Due to 

Renovation, Repair, and Painting 

Activities in Public and Commercial 

Buildings’’ (the Approach); the detailed 

appendices for the Approach; and a 

supplementary report, entitled 

‘‘Developing a Concentration-Response 

Function for Pb Exposure and 

Cardiovascular Disease-Related 

Mortality.’’ Together, these documents 

describe a methodology for estimating 

exposures and incremental health 

effects created by renovations of P&CBs. 

This methodology could be used to 

identify and evaluate hazards from RRP 

in P&CBs. Also available for public 

review and comment is a list of charge 

questions that will be directed to the 

external peer reviewers for the 

Approach. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted 

September 22, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including 

independent contractors and contracting 

companies involved in renovation, 

repair, and painting, as well as 

academics and members of the public 

interested in environmental and human 

health assessment and the assessment of 

chemical risks. Since others also may be 

interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting confidential business 

information (CBI). Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background 

EPA is currently in the process of 

determining whether or not lead-based 

paint hazards are created by RRP 

activities in P&CBs, as required under 

TSCA, Subtitle IV (15 U.S.C. 2681 et 

seq.). For those renovation activities in 

P&CBs that create lead-based paint 

hazards, TSCA directs EPA to address 

the hazards through regulation. 

EPA recently published in the Federal 

Register of May 30, 2014 (Ref. 1) a 

document for public comment, entitled 

‘‘Framework for Identifying and 

Evaluating Lead-Based Paint Hazards 

from Renovation, Repair, and Painting 

Activities in Public and Commercial 

Buildings’’ (Ref. 2). This Framework 

document described, in general terms, 

how EPA could identify and evaluate 

hazards in P&CBs. 

The current document, entitled 

‘‘Approach for Estimating Exposures 

and Incremental Health Effects from 

Lead Due to Renovation, Repair, and 

Painting Activities in Public and 

Commercial Buildings’’ (Ref. 3) 

describes how EPA is modeling the 

potential overall magnitude and 

distribution of renovation-related health 

effects due to lead exposure from a 

renovation in a P&CB, taking into 

account background lead levels when 

no such renovation exposure occurs. 

Based on information developed 

through the Approach, renovationrelated health effects will be estimated 

as the difference between total health 

effects (background plus renovationrelated) and background. Exposures 

from renovation activities that disturb 

lead-based paint are connected to 

subsequent health effects in children 

and adults through modeling. Separate 

Monte-Carlo based models were 

constructed for the analysis of exterior 

renovations of P&CBs and interior 

renovations of P&CBs. 

The Monte Carlo analysis is designed 

to capture potential population-level 

variability within each exposure 

scenario and, as such, approximates the 

potential distribution of effects to the 

part of the U.S. population who would 

fall within any scenario. However, the 

results presented in the Approach are 

not representative of an overall 

distribution of the entire U.S. 

population. All scenarios are not 

equally likely, and in fact some 

scenarios may be very unlikely to occur. 

In the future, EPA plans to estimate how 

many people may be reasonably 

expected to be exposed in different 

scenarios. 

After further analysis, the full results 

of the Approach, along with information 

about how often any scenario is 

expected to actually occur, will be used 

to consider whether or not renovation 

activities in P&CBs create hazards and, 

if so, what mitigation measures may be 

appropriate. EPA plans to consider 

renovation-related dust loadings, blood 

lead, and health effect changes across 

exposure scenarios in order to evaluate 

whether a hazard occurs. A detailed 

discussion of the additional analyses 

and considerations that would inform 

EPA’s process of making a hazard 

finding, or a finding of no hazard, are 

contained in the Approach. By itself, the 

Approach methodology cannot be used 

to determine whether hazards exist from 

P&CB renovations. EPA will need to 

conduct additional analyses and make 

certain science policy decisions in order 

to determine whether such hazards 

exist. 

EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention 

and Toxics (OPPT) has identified the 

Approach as an influential product and 

according to EPA peer review guidance 

is conducting an external peer review of 

that document, supplemental files, 

appendices (Ref. 4), and attendant 

models used for exposure scenarios. The 

external peer reviewers will assess the 

accuracy and content of the Approach, 

ensuring that the Approach and initial 

results are scientifically sound. The 

external peer review will also address 

the supplemental documents, which 

include detailed appendices for the 

Approach and a supplementary report 

relating lead exposure to Cardiovascular 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

45798 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 6, 2014 / Notices 

Disease (CVD) mortality and proposing 

an approach to quantify adult health 

benefits from a reduction in lead (Pb) 

exposure for CVD mortality, entitled 

‘‘Developing a Concentration-Response 

Function for Pb Exposure and 

Cardiovascular Disease-Related 

Mortality’’ (Ref. 5). The panel peer 

review meetings are expected to occur 

later in 2014, and the public will have 

an opportunity to review and comment 

on the materials given to the external 

peer reviewers. 

III. Request for Comment 

EPA is requesting public review and 

comment on all aspects of the Approach 

and its supplemental files, appendices, 

attendant models, peer review charge 

(Ref. 6), and particularly related to the 

following: 

• The utility of the Approach for 

estimating exposures through 

summarizing building use configuration 

types and human-activity patterns to 

incorporate variability across the wide 

variety of P&CBs. 

• The utility of the updated Leggett 

Model (original model described in 

Leggett 1993 (Ref. 7); updated model 

described in the appendices to the 

Approach (Ref. 4)) to estimate blood 

lead levels for both children and adults, 

and specifically the use of the various 

outputs derived from the Leggett Model 

(concurrent blood lead, lifetime blood 

lead, and bone lead) in concentrationresponse curves for children and adults. 

• The utility of concentrationresponse functions for health endpoints 

in both children and adults for assessing 

risk to human health inside P&CBs as a 

result of P&CB renovations.
