Notice of Public Hearing: Mass. DOS Seeking Authorization to Administer and Enforce RRP Rule
Notice of Public Hearing
In accordance with 40 CFR 745.324(a)(2), the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety (DOS) will hold a Public Hearing to receive comments on its intent to seek authorization from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer and enforce a regulatory program for renovation, repair and painting work that disturbs lead paint in pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. To meet the requirements for EPA authorization, the DOS-administered program must be as protective as that set forth in EPA regulations at 40 CFR 745.80 through .92 – the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule). The lead regulatory program set forth in the RRP Rule, which will become fully effective on April 22, 2010, includes requirements for the certification of firms carrying out work subject to the Rule, training of supervisors and work practice standards. The hearing will be held on Wednesday March 3, 2010, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the South Street Amphitheater of the UMass Medical School at 333 South Street, Shrewsbury, MA (for directions click HERE). Comments on DOS’ intent to seek this authorization may be sent to Laura Marlin, Commissioner, Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety, 19 Staniford Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02114 until the close of business on March 12, 2010.
