Goldman, M.D. <br /> Assistant Administrator <br /> TO: See Below <br /> Recently, the Agency has received an increasing number of <br /> requests for advice on residential lead-based paint hazards <br /> which, by statutory definition, includes hazards from lead- <br /> contaminated dust and soil in and around homes. These requests <br /> have come from State and EPA Regional officials, as well as <br /> public health and housing personnel. While the Agency is in the <br /> process of developing a rule to address these hazards under <br /> Section 403 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) , 15 USC <br /> $2683 , we believe that it is prudent to respond to these requests <br /> by issuing guidance at this time based upon our best currently <br /> available information. <br /> The attached recommendations will serve as guidance until <br /> the promulgation of the section 403 rule. Depending upon the <br /> results of ongoing studies, we may revise the numerical values, <br /> particularly for dust, in additional guidance prior to the <br /> section 403 rulemaking. <br /> Addressees: <br /> Director, Air Management Division, Region 1 <br /> Director, Environmental Services Division, Region 2 <br /> Director, Air, Toxics, and Radiation Management Division, ._ <br /> Region 3 <br /> Director, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Management Division, <br /> Region 4 <br /> Director, Environmental Sciences Division, Region 5 <br /> Director, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Division, Region 6 <br /> Director, Air and Toxics Division, Regions 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 <br /> RecycPnnlad eC Soy/Ca vda lr <br /> Pnrrtod wrlh$OyrCanda Ink on papar th:: <br /> contans Y loasl 5a%rocyclod flow <br />
