The EPA requires a printed and signed paper form
for this registration and certification.
The new EPA law applies to both exterior and interior renovations. Any renovation activity that disturbs at least 20 square feet of lead paint on the outside, or 6 square feet on the inside of a house, school, or child-care facility built before 1978 will be subject to the regulations in the EPA program.
All firms (including self-employed contractors) working on pre-1978 housing will be required to be certified by the EPA. In each firm, at least one employee will need to become a "certified renovator."
At least one certified renovator will have to oversee the job site to ensure compliance with RRP rules. This person will be responsible for testing for lead and containing and cleaning the work area, as well as training other workers in any lead-safe practices that apply to their assigned activities.
