��9 /- -�� <br /> LEAD BASED PAINT DEFINITIONS <br /> These guidelines replace the 1992 Interim Guidelines: The "Guidelines" were issued pursuant . <br /> to Section 1017 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, which is �� <br /> often referred to as Title X("Title Ten") because it was enacted as Title X of the Housing and <br /> Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550). The Guidelines are based on the <br /> concepts, definitions, and requirements set forth by Congress in Title X. <br /> ' The Guidelines provide detailed, comprehensive, technical information on how to identify lead- <br /> based paint hazards in housing and how to control such hazards safely and efficiently. The goal <br /> of this document is to help property owners, private contractors, and Government <br /> agencies sharply reduce children's exposure to tead without unnecessarily increasing <br /> the cost of housing. <br /> LBP standards: <br /> Under the new standards, lead is considered a hazard if there are greater than: 40 micrograms <br /> of lead dust per square foot on interior floors, 800 micrograms of lead dust per square foot on <br /> exterior floors, 250 micrograms of lead dust per square foot on interior window sills, and 800 <br /> micrograms of lead dust per square foot on exterior window sills and troughs, and 400 parts per <br /> million (ppm) of lead in bare soil in children's play areas or 1200 ppm average for bare soil in <br /> the rest of the yard. <br /> SEC. 1004.
