                 TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 35--LEAD-BASED PAINT POISONING PREVENTION IN CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES--Table of Contents
 
Subpart B--General Lead-Based Paint Requirements and Definitions for All 
                                Programs.
 
Sec. 35.150  Compliance with other State, tribal, and local laws.

    (a) HUD responsibility. If HUD determines that a State, tribal or 
local law, ordinance, code or regulation provides for evaluation or 
hazard reduction in a manner that provides a comparable level of 
protection from the hazards of lead-based paint poisoning to that 
provided by the requirements of subparts B, C, D, F through M and R of 
this part and that adherence to the requirements of subparts B, C, D, F 
through M, and R of this part, would be duplicative or otherwise cause 
inefficiencies, HUD may modify or waive some or all of the requirements 
of the subparts in a manner that will promote efficiency while ensuring 
a comparable level of protection.
    (b) Participant responsibility. Nothing in this part is intended to 
relieve any participant in a program covered by this subpart of any 
responsibility for compliance with State, tribal or local laws, 
ordinances, codes or regulations governing evaluation and hazard 
reduction. If a State, tribal or local law, ordinance, code or 
regulation defines lead-based paint differently than the Federal 
definition, the more protective definition (i.e., the lower level) shall 
be followed in that State, tribal or local jurisdiction.
