remodeling
activities
in

housing,
public
buildings
constructed
before
1978,
and

not
require
certification,
the

shall
publish
an
explanation
of
the
basis
for
that
determination.

for
lead
in
dust
on
floors

windows.
If
the
residual
lead
levels
in
a
dust
sample
exceed

requirements
established
under
TSCA
section
402
and/
or

and
establishes
the
procedures
EPA
will
follow
in
approving,
revising,
and
withdrawing
approval
of
State
or
Tribal
programs.
(
b)
For
State
or
Tribal
lead­
based
paint
training
and
certification
programs,
a
State
or
Indian
Tribe
may
seek
authorization
to
administer
and
enforce
Secs.
745.225,
745.226,

shall
be
applicable
for
the
purposes
of
such
program
authorization.
(
c)
For
State
or
Tribal
pre­
renovation
notification
programs,
a
State
or
Indian
Tribe
may
seek
authorization
to
administer
and
enforce
regulations
developed
pursuant
to
TSCA
section
406.
(
d)
A
State
or
Indian
Tribe
applying
for
program

may
seek
either
interim
approval
or

subpart.
(

this
subpart.
