Abstract:
EPA is reviewing existing regulatory dust lead hazard standards for residential buildings and Child Occupied Facilities (COFs). On January 5, 2001, the EPA issued a final regulation under sections 403 and 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The 2001 final rule established regulatory dust lead hazard standards of 40 µg/ft2 for floors and 250 µg/ft2 for interior window sills.

Children's Health
This rule is likely to address an adverse impact on childhood lifestages, including prenatal (via exposure to women of childbearing age). The potential adverse impacts are expected to be due to exposure (i.e., children and/or women of childbearing age are more likely to be highly exposed than other lifestages).
Environmental Justice
This rulemaking involves a topic that is likely to be of particular interest to or have particular impact upon minority, low-income, tribal, and/or other vulnerable populations because:
- This topic is likely to impact the health of vulnerable populations.
- This topic is likely to impact the environmental conditions of vulnerable populations.
- This topic is likely to present an opportunity to address an existing disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations.
