Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) covers revisions to the 2008 Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule, which established reporting and recordkeeping requirements for individuals and firms conducting renovations in target housing (most housing constructed before 1978) and child-occupied facilities (pre-1978 residential, public, or commercial buildings where children under age six are regularly present). EPA revised the RRP rule under the authority of sections 402, 404 and 407 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This ICR describes and analyzes the incremental changes to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements under another existing approved ICR (EPA ICR No. 1715.12, OMB Control No. 2070– 0155). Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 745, Subpart L). Respondents may claim all or part of a response confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. Form Numbers: 8500–25; 8500–27. Respondents/affected entities: Persons who provide training in leadbased paint activities and/or renovation, persons who are engaged in lead-based paint activities and/or renovation, and state agencies that administer leadbased paint activities and/or renovation programs. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory. Estimated number of respondents: 170 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 151 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:56 Apr 17, 2015 Jkt 235001 Total estimated cost: $27 per year, includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.
