    • have their firm certified by EPA;
    • use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers;

    RRP Information on Sampling

    EPA has amended the Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published a rule update giving EPA-Certified Renovators the option to collect paint chip samples for laboratory analysis in order to identify lead-bearing surfaces. 40 CFR Part 745 states in part, 

    In those states that do not permit persons other than certified inspectors or risk assessors to sample or test for lead-based paint, certified renovators will not be able to exercise this option. Federal Register/Vol. 76, No. 151/Friday, August 5, 2011/Rules and Regulations, page 47,924. 

    In Nebraska, paint chip sampling must be performed by a Nebraska licensed lead-based paint inspector or risk assessor. EPA-certified renovators who are not Nebraska-licensed lead-based paint inspectors or risk assessors will not be able to utilize paint chip sampling to identify lead-bearing surfaces.
