The LEAD-BASED PAINT EXPOSURE REDUCTION ACT [ TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACT, Title IV; Title X, subpart B of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992; PL 102-550, October 28, 1992]
This Federal law serves as a comprehensive overhaul of efforts to combat lead-based paint hazards. Among other things, the Act:
(1) Provides a regulatory frame work for lead-based paint abatement contractors;
(2) Empowers the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate and set acceptable levels of lead in dust and soil in Baltimore and throughout the United States, as well as set guidelines for the performance of lead-based paint hazard controls and abatement activities;
(3) Requires comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations governing lead exposure levels in construction activities;
(4) Sets an aggressive schedule for addressing lead-based paint hazards in all Federal housing; and
(5) Imposes requirements on privately-owned housing and rental units, including disclosure requirements, an opportunity to conduct a pre-purchase lead risk assessment to be incorporated into purchase agreements.
