removal, treatment of friction and

impact surfaces, and soil interim

controls. The course should also

introduce the worker to the importance

of monitoring and reevaluation, and the

role of maintenance in preserving the

integrity of interim controls during

routine activities and minimizing

contamination of housing. The course

should include a worker’s manual and

an instructor’s manual as well as a video

consisting of work demonstrations

accompanied by explanatory narration.

The course will be used to train both

certified and noncertified individuals

involved in the control of lead-based

paint that is not undergoing removal.

Model courses in lead-based paint

activities have already been developed

or are in the process of development for

the five disciplines specified in the

regulations. These courses are: inspector

technician, inspector/risk assessor,

supervisor, planner/project designer,

and lead abatement worker. Required

course content for four of the five

disciplines includes instruction in

methods of risk reduction. In addition,

inspector/risk assessors must learn how

to develop an interim control plan and

the minimum training curricula

requirements for the planner/project

designer course includes instruction in

operation and maintenance planning.

Because of the hazards to workers,

residents and the environment

associated with lead-based paint,

training of specialists in the field and

maintenance workers should include

the most up-to-date methods of control

to assure that exposure will be

minimized in areas where abatement is

not initially contemplated.

I. Administrative Requirements

This program is subject to matching

share requirements. Awards shall be

given only to applicants who can fund

at least 5 percent of their programs from

non-Federal sources, excluding in-kind

contributions. (In-kind contributions are

defined as the value of a non-cash

contribution to meet a recipient’s costsharing requirements. An in-kind

contribution may consist of charges for

real property and equipment, or the

value of goods and services directly

benefiting the EPA-funded project.) The

recipient’s matching share may exceed 5

percent.

The applicant must also provide proof

of the organization’s not-for-profit

status.

II. Evaluation Process and Criteria

Preproposals submitted for the

cooperative agreement solicited in this

notice will be evaluated on a

competitive basis by a review panel

composed of EPA and HUD staff

members. The following factors will be

considered in the evaluations of the

preproposals.

A. Program Design

The course length should be

approximately 8 hours, focusing on

teaching workers the fundamentals of

appropriate interim controls as well as

hands-on demonstrations of the

application and maintenance of these

controls.

Preproposals should be developed in

conformance with the HUD Guidelines

for the Evaluation and Control of LeadBased Paint Hazards in Housing.

Another relevant source soon to be

available is a document currently under

development by the National Institute of

Building Sciences titled Lead-Based

Paint Operations and Maintenance

Work Practices Manual.

B. Program Experience

The applicant must include the

following organizational information:

1. Experience with lead-related issues

with an emphasis on lead-based paint.

2. Experience with the development

of adult education courses particularly

for workers with limited education or

with language difficulties.

3. A summary of any lead-related

courses taught and a description of the

materials used to teach those courses.

4. Experience with providing handson training.

5. Qualifications of key personnel.

C. Budget

A detailed budget should be included

that specifies the amount of money

proposed for each element of the course

curriculum as well as the non-federal

share of the budget (at least 5 percent of

the total excluding in-kind

contributions).

III. Application Procedures and

Notification of Selection

Preproposals are due by June 30,

1995. Preproposals should be

approximately 10 pages in length and 7

copies of the proposal should be

provided. Notice of selection as a

possible award recipient will not

constitute approval of the final proposal

as submitted. Prior to the actual

awarding of the cooperative agreement,

representatives of the potential recipient

and EPA will begin negotiations

concerning various components of the

program, such as funding levels and

course materials. The project budget is

anticipated to be in the range of

$200,000 to $400,000.
