Lead; Requirements for Lead-Based Paint Activities; Notice of 
Hearing

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Action: Informal Hearing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 2, 1994, EPA published a proposed rule governing 
lead-based paint activities to ensure that individuals engaged in such 
activities are properly trained; that training programs are accredited; 
and that contractors engaged in such activities are certified. The 
proposed rule would also establish standards for performing lead-based 
paint activities and require that all lead-based paint activities be 
performed by certified individuals. When promulgated, the rule would 
fulfill the mandate of section 402(a)(1) of Title IV of the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (TSCA). Additionally, as part of the proposed 
rule, EPA has, in accordance with section 404(d) of TSCA, developed a 
proposed Model State Program. When promulgated, this program may be 
adopted by any State that seeks to administer and enforce a State 
program under Title IV of TSCA. In that notice, the Agency stated that 
it would hold an informal hearing. EPA will hold a 1-day public 
hearing.

DATES: The hearing will take place on October 26, 1994, from 1 p.m. 
until 5 p.m. Those persons interested in attending the hearing are 
requested to notify the Agency on or before October 20, 1994 by calling 
202-554-1404. In addition, three copies of any request to participate 
must be forwarded to the EPA Docket.

ADDRESSES: The hearing will be held at the Crystal City Hyatt, 2799 
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA. Three copies of any request to 
participate in the informal hearing, identified with docket number 
OPPTS-62128A must be submitted to: TSCA Docket Receipt (7407), Office
