1. In EPA response 10, it may be helpful for the response to interagency comments to note the 

webpage at which an accredited lead training provider can request the EPA’s model e-learning 

curricula for the Renovator Initial, Renovator Refresher, and Dust Sampling Technician Initial 

courses, www.epa.gov/lead/forms/model-e-learning-curriculum.

2. In EPA responses 12a, b, and c, some of the compliance responsibilities of the training provider 

are described, but not EPA’s authority and responsibility to ensure compliance in regard to 

those matters. It would be helpful for the response to interagency comments to note that EPA 

has the authority (in 40 CFR 745.225(f)(4) and (f)(3)(vi)(A) (cited by par. (f)(4))) to audit the 

training provider for compliance with paragraphs (c) and (e), on the accreditation of initial and 

refresher training programs, respectively.
