Abstract: EPA is proposing to amend training requirements for certified renovators under the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Paint (RRP) regulations to eliminate the hands-on component of mandatory renovator refresher training. Eliminating the hands-on component of the refresher training will allow accredited training providers to offer the renovator refresher training online in e-learning courses. Training providers that would teach the online renovator refresher training would need to submit an accreditation application to EPA for the online course. The current paperwork requirements for training providers under the RRP regulations are addressed in an existing Information Collection Request (ICR) that is currently approved under OMB Control No. 2070-0155. This rule-related ICR addresses the incremental reporting requirements in the proposed rule related to accreditation applications for online renovator refresher training courses.

Short Statement: Training providers that would teach the online renovator refresher training would need to submit an accreditation application to EPA for the online course. The current paperwork requirements for training providers under the RRP regulations are addressed in an existing Information Collection Request (ICR) that is currently approved under OMB Control No. 2070-0155. This rule-related ICR addresses the incremental reporting requirements in the proposed rule related to accreditation applications. The one-time application is expected to entail 13.8 burden hours per response. In the first year, this is expected to result in 3,795 burden hours for 275 respondents, and 0 hours in the 2nd and 3rd years. EPA therefore estimates the total annualized burden to be 1,265 hours. This is a program change.
