FINAL LEAD ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION FEE RULE
EPA issued a final rule establishing fees for the accreditation of training programs, and the certification of lead-based paint activities contractors. This rule fulfills a statutory requirement to recover the costs of administering and enforcing the lead-based paint training and certification program. These fees apply to training programs seeking accreditation and for contractors seeking certification to engage in lead-based paint activities. This rule applies only in States, Territories, and Indian country without authorized lead programs. As directed by statute, training programs operated by a State, federally recognized Indian Tribe, local government, or nonprofit organization are exempt from fee payment. In addition to accreditation and certification fees the rule establishes fees for examinations, replacement of lost certificates or identification cards, and registration in multiple jurisdictions. For more information on this rule and general information on lead call the National Lead Information Center (NLIC) at 1-800-424-LEAD, or visit the EPA Lead Homepage at https://www.epa.gov/lead. Also, contact the NLIC to obtain information about authorization status of States, Territories or Indian Tribes.
