| 98-33326 | Lead; Management and Disposal of Lead-Based Paint Debris | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing a rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to provide new standards for the management and disposal of lead-based paint (LBP) debris generated by individuals or firms. In another document in today's Federal Register, the Agency is also separately proposing to suspend temporarily the applicability of regulations under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) which currently apply to LBP debris. The companion RCRA proposal, issued elsewhere in today's Federal Register, is necessary to avoid inconsistent or duplicative Federal requirements under RCRA and TSCA. In addition, this proposal finds LBP debris which is disposed of improperly to be a lead-based paint hazard under TSCA. Today's proposed TSCA standards do not address LBP debris generated by homeowners in their own homes. The Agency is concerned that current RCRA requirements for the identification, management, and disposal LBP debris may be reducing the number of residential LBP abatements by imposing significant disposal costs for LBP debris that is determined to be a hazardous waste under RCRA. Today's proposed rule would provide new management and disposal standards for generators of LBP debris under TSCA. These standards would be generally less burdensome than current RCRA hazardous waste requirements, yet the standards are reliable, effective, safe, and protective of human health and the environment. By reducing costs associated with management and disposal of LBP debris, the Agency believes that the number of abatements will increase thus resulting in a reduction of children exposed to LBP. The Agency is also applying today's proposed standards to LBP debris from renovation, remodeling, public and commercial buildings in order to simplify requirements to generators and transporters of LBP debris. | 1998-12-18 | 1998 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/12/18/98-33326/lead-management-and-disposal-of-lead-based-paint-debris | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-12-18/pdf/98-33326.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing a rule under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to provide new standards for the management and disposal of lead-based paint (LBP) debris generated by individuals or firms.
