Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
In addition to the definitions contained in OAC
				  252:110-15-2(10)
				  and the Oklahoma Lead-based Paint Management Act, 27A O.S.,§ 2-12-101
et seq
., the following words and terms, when used in this
				  Chapter shall have the following meaning, unless otherwise indicated.
"Child-occupied facility"
means a building, or
				  portion of a building, constructed prior to 1978, visited regularly by the same
				  child, 6 years of age or under, on at least two different days within any week
				  (Sunday through Saturday period), provided that each day's visit lasts at least
				  3 hours and the combined weekly visit lasts at least 6 hours, and the combined
				  annual visits last at least 60 hours. Child-occupied facilities may include,
				  but are not limited to, day-care centers, preschools, and kindergarten
				  classrooms. Child-occupied facilities may be located in target housing or in
				  public or commercial buildings. With respect to common areas in public or
				  commercial buildings that contain child-occupied facilities, the child-occupied
				  facility encompasses only those common areas that are routinely used by
				  children under age 6, such as restrooms and cafeterias. Common areas that
				  children under age 6 only pass through, such as hallways, stairways, and
				  garages are not included. In addition, with respect to exteriors of public or
				  commercial buildings that contain child-occupied facilities, the child-occupied
				  facility encompasses only the exterior sides of the building that are
				  immediately adjacent to the child-occupied facility or the common areas
				  routinely used by children under age 6.
"Minor repair and maintenance activities"
are
				  activities, including minor heating, ventilation or air conditioning work,
				  electrical work, and plumbing, that disrupt 6 square feet or less of painted
				  surface per room for interior activities or 20 square feet or less of painted
				  surface for exterior activities where none of the work practices prohibited or
				  restricted by
				  40 CFR §
										745.85(a)(3) are used and
				  where the work does not involve window replacement or demolition of painted
				  surface areas. When removing painted components, or portions of painted
				  components, the entire surface area removed is the amount of painted surface
				  disturbed. Jobs, other than emergency renovations, performed in the same room
				  within the same 30 days must be considered the same job for the purpose of
				  determining whether the job is a minor repair and maintenance activity.
"RRP"
means Renovation, Repair and
				  Painting.
"Renovation"
means the modification of any
				  existing structure, or portion thereof, that results in the disturbance of
				  painted surfaces, unless that activity is performed as part of an abatement as
				  defined by
				  40
				  CFR §
										745.223. The term renovation
				  includes (but is not limited to): the removal, modification or repair of
				  painted surfaces or painted components (e.g., modification of painted doors,
				  surface restoration, window repair, surface preparation activity (such as
				  sanding, scraping, or other such activities that may generate paint dust)); the
				  removal of building components (e.g., walls, ceilings, plumbing, windows);
				  weatherization projects (e.g., cutting holes in painted surfaces to install
				  blown-in insulation or to gain access to attics, planing thresholds to install
				  weather-stripping); and interim controls that disturb painted surfaces. A
				  renovation performed for the purpose of converting a building, or part of a
				  building, into target housing or a child-occupied facility is a renovation
				  under this subchapter. The term renovation does not include minor repair and
				  maintenance activities.
"Renovation Firm"
means a company, partnership,
				  corporation, sole proprietorship or individual doing business, association, or
				  other business entity; a federal, State, Tribal, or local government agency; or
				  a nonprofit organization that performs renovations.
"Renovator"
means an individual who either
				  performs or directs workers who perform renovations. A certified renovator is a
				  renovator who has successfully completed a renovator course accredited by the
				  Department.
