Hearing
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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.
