If EPA receives adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final action and address the comments in a subsequent final action based on this proposed rule. We will not open a second comment period, so anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time.

Background In the Federal Register of January 10, 2006 (71 FR 1588) (FRL–7755–5), EPA proposed new requirements to reduce exposure to lead hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint. The proposal supports the attainment of the Federal government’s goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010. The proposal would establish requirements for training renovators and dust sampling technicians; certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms; accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling technician training; and renovation work practices. These requirements would apply in ‘‘target housing,’’ defined in TSCA section 401 as any housing constructed before 1978, except housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child under age 6 resides or is expected to reside in such housing) or any 0bedroom dwelling. Initially the rule would apply to all renovations for compensation performed in target housing where a child with an increased blood lead level resides; rental target housing built before 1960; and owner-occupied target housing built before 1960, unless the person performing the renovation obtains a statement signed by the owner-occupant that the renovation will occur in the owner’s residence and that no child under age 6 resides there. EPA is proposing to phase in the applicability of this proposal to all rental target housing andowneroccupied target housing built in the years 1960 through 1977 where a child under age 6 resides. This proposal was issued under the authority of TSCA section 402(c)(3). EPA also proposed to allow interested States, Territories, and Indian Tribes the opportunity to apply for, and receive authorization to administer and enforce all of the elements of the new renovation provisions.

EPA welcomes comments on all aspects of the proposal. To assist the public to provide comments, EPA has prepared a paper, Renovation, Repair, and Painting Proposal; Points to Consider.

These proposed base flood elevations and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, state or regional entities. These proposed elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, and for the contents in these buildings.

II. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 10, 2006 (71 FR 1588) (FRL-7755-
5), EPA proposed new requirements to reduce exposure to lead hazards 
created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb 
lead-based paint. The proposal supports the attainment of the Federal 
government's goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010. The 
proposal would establish requirements for training renovators and dust 
sampling technicians; certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, 
and renovation firms; accrediting providers of renovation and dust 
sampling technician training; and renovation work practices. These 
requirements would apply in ``target housing,'' defined in TSCA section 
401 as any housing constructed before 1978, except housing for the 
elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any child under age 6 
resides or is expected to reside in such housing) or any 0-bedroom 
dwelling.
    Initially the rule would apply to all renovations for compensation 
performed in target housing where a child with an increased blood lead 
level resides; rental target housing built before 1960; and owner-
occupied target housing built before 1960, unless the person performing 
the renovation obtains a statement signed by the owner-occupant that 
the renovation will occur in the owner's residence and that no child 
under age 6 resides there. EPA is proposing to phase in the 
applicability of this proposal to all rental target housing andowner-
occupied target housing built in the years 1960 through 1977 where a 
child under age 6 resides. This proposal was issued under the authority 
of TSCA section 402(c)(3). EPA also proposed to allow interested 
States, Territories, and Indian Tribes the opportunity to apply for, 
and receive authorization to administer and enforce all of the elements 
of the new renovation provisions.
