Reconsideration of the Dust-Lead Hazard Standards and Dust-Lead
Post-Abatement Clearance Levels; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making
corrections to a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of
November 12, 2024, that finalized several revisions to EPA's lead-based
paint (LBP) regulations. Subsequent to publication, the Office of the
Federal Register (OFR) informed the Agency that there were errors in
the amendatory instructions that describe specific revisions for two
sections of the regulation. The corrections to the amendatory
instructions will allow for the proper revisions to be incorporated
into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
DATES: This final rule correction is effective January 13, 2025.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2023-0231, is available online
at https://www.regulations.gov. Additional information about dockets
generally, along with instructions for visiting the docket in-person,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is correcting the final rule that
published in the Federal Register of November 12,
[[Page 101490]]
2024 (89 FR 89459 (FRL-8524-02-OCSPP)) to address two errors where EPA
inadvertently omitted important text within the amendatory
instructions:
1. The first error appears in amendatory instruction 15a, which
directs the OFR to revise paragraph (e)(5) in 40 CFR 745.225, however,
since the set-out text for paragraph (e)(5) does not include the
subordinate paragraphs to paragraph (e)(5), the instruction should
direct the OFR to revise the introductory text of paragraph (e)(5).
2. The second error appears in amendatory instruction 17b, which
directs the OFR to revise paragraph (e)(8)(v) of 40 CFR 745.227,
however, since the set-out text for paragraph (e)(8)(v) does not
include the subordinate paragraphs to paragraph (e)(8)(v), the
instruction should direct the OFR to revise the introductory text of
paragraph (e)(8)(v).
