The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the State of Arizona’s Lead-Based Paint Training and Certification program.
On August 29, 1996, the EPA published a final rule for the certification
and training of lead-based paint professionals (40 CFR 45778). Since
then, the regulation has been phased in around the country. This
regulation ensures that lead-based paint activities such as inspections,
risk assessments, and abatements of target (pre-1978) housing and child
occupied facilities are conducted by trained and certified individuals
using safe and effective methods. The regulation permits States and
Indian Tribes to seek authorization from EPA to implement their own
programs. If a State or Tribe did not have an approved program by the
end of August 1998, the EPA established a federally-run program to
accredit training providers and certify contractors in that State or
Tribe.
As of March 1, 2000, any individual or firm that performs, offers, or
claims to perform lead-based paint activities in Arizona must be
certified by the EPA. For information on the EPA certification and
accreditation applications, fees, economic analysis, and final rule
visit the EPA Web site for
certification and accreditation or call (800) 424-LEAD.
