What is the title of the EPA-required pamphlet that must be distributed to residents before renovation work begins in pre-1978 housing?
Answer: Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers and Schools
The EPA requires distribution of the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet (or an EPA-approved equivalent) before renovation work begins in target housing and child-occupied facilities built before 1978.
For a planned renovation in tenant-occupied pre-1978 housing, at least how many days before work begins must the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet be provided to the owner and tenants?
Answer: 60 days
Under 40 CFR 745.84, for planned renovations in tenant-occupied target housing, the pamphlet must be provided to the owner and each tenant at least 60 days before the renovation begins.
Which type of residential property is subject to the EPA's pre-renovation education and disclosure requirements under the RRP Rule?
Answer: Target housing built before 1978
The RRP Rule applies to 'target housing,' defined as housing built before 1978, which is when the CPSC banned lead-based paint for residential use.
In owner-occupied target housing, when must the renovator provide the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet to the owner?
Answer: Before the renovation begins
For owner-occupied target housing, the pamphlet must be provided to the owner before the renovation begins; there is no specific number of days required, unlike tenant-occupied properties.
Which of the following is specifically EXCLUDED from the definition of 'target housing' under the EPA's RRP Rule?
Answer: Housing built for the elderly or persons with disabilities where no children under 6 reside
The RRP Rule explicitly excludes housing built for the elderly or disabled persons where no children under age 6 reside, since the primary concern is protecting young children from lead exposure.
For renovations in a child-occupied facility, who must receive the 'Renovate Right' pamphlet before work begins?
Answer: The owner of the building and an adult representative of the child-occupied facility
Before a renovation in a child-occupied facility, the pamphlet must be provided to both the building owner and an adult representative of the facility, such as the director or administrator.
If a certified inspector has tested a pre-1978 home and determined it contains no lead-based paint, what effect does this have on the pre-renovation disclosure requirements?
Answer: The RRP Rule does not apply, so no pre-renovation disclosure is required
If a certified lead inspector has determined that a home contains no lead-based paint, it is not considered 'target housing' and the RRP Rule — including pre-renovation disclosure — does not apply.
