Sections 1012/1013 of Title X refer to HUD rules?

• A. EPA
• B. HUD
• C. OSHA
• D. CDC

Answer: (B)

Sections 1012 and 1013 establish HUD’s authority to issue lead-based paint hazard regulations, rather than EPA’s Renovation, Repair, and Painting rules. Title X, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, created a framework where HUD leads the rulemaking on lead hazard reduction and disclosure for housing, including federally owned or assisted housing and the sale or lease of pre-1978 properties. Because of that, those sections point to HUD’s rules. The EPA does have its own separate program for renovation work in pre-1978 housing (the RRP rule), but that is a different regulatory track. So the reference is to HUD rules, not EPA rules.
