    Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) covers 
revisions to the 2008 Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule, 
which established reporting and recordkeeping requirements for 
individuals and firms conducting renovations in target housing (most 
housing constructed before 1978) and child-occupied facilities (pre-
1978 residential, public, or commercial buildings where children under 
age six are regularly present). EPA revised the RRP rule under the 
authority of sections 402, 404 and 407 of the Toxic Substances Control 
Act (TSCA). This ICR describes and analyzes the incremental changes to 
the reporting and recordkeeping requirements under another existing 
approved ICR (EPA ICR No. 1715.12, OMB Control No. 2070-0155).
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 
CFR 745, Subpart L). Respondents may claim all or part of a response 
confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim 
of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance 
with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Form Numbers: 8500-25; 8500-27.
    Respondents/affected entities: Persons who provide training in 
lead-based paint activities and/or renovation, persons who are engaged 
in lead-based paint activities and/or renovation, and state agencies 
that administer lead-based paint activities and/or renovation programs.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 170 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 151 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $27 per year, includes $0 annualized capital 
or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently 
approved by OMB.
