TITLE: Review of the Dust-Lead Hazard Standards and the Definition of Lead-Based Paint AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ACTION: Final rule SUMMARY: Addressing childhood lead exposure is a priority for EPA. As part of EPA's efforts to reduce childhood lead exposure, EPA evaluated the current dust-lead hazard standards (DLHS) and the definition of lead-based paint (LBP). Based on this evaluation, this final rule revises the DLHS from 40 [micro]g/ft\2\ and 250 [micro]g/ft\2\ to 10 [micro]g/ft\2\ and 100 [micro]g/ft\2\ on floors and window sills, respectively.

DATES: This final rule is effective 6 January 2020.
