Sec. 745.65  Lead-based paint hazards.

    (a) Paint-lead hazard. A paint-lead hazard is any of the following:
    (1) Any lead-based paint on a friction surface that is subject to 
abrasion and where the lead dust levels on the nearest horizontal 
surface underneath the friction surface (e.g., the window sill, or 
floor) are equal to or greater than the dust-lead hazard levels 
identified in paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) Any damaged or otherwise deteriorated lead-based paint on an 
impact surface that is caused by impact from a related building 
component (such as a door knob that knocks into a wall or a door that 
knocks against its door frame.
    (3) Any chewable lead-based painted surface on which there is 
evidence of teeth marks.
    (4) Any other deteriorated lead-based paint in any residential 
building or child-occupied facility or on the exterior of any 
residential building or child-occupied facility.
    (b) Dust-lead hazard. A dust-lead hazard is surface dust in a 
residential dwelling or child-occupied facility that contains a mass-
per-area concentration of lead equal to or exceeding 40 [micro]g/
ft2 on floors or 250 [micro]g/ft2 on interior 
window sills based on wipe samples.
    (c) Soil-lead hazard. A soil-lead hazard is bare soil on residential 
real property or on the property of a child-occupied facility that 
contains total lead equal to or exceeding 400 parts per million 
([micro]g/g) in a play area or average of 1,200 parts per million of 
bare soil in the rest of the yard based on soil samples.

    (d) Work practice requirements. Applicable certification, occupant 
protection, and clearance requirements and work practice standards are 
found in regulations issued by EPA at 40 CFR part 745, subpart L and in 
regulations issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
(HUD) at 24 CFR part 35, subpart R. The work practice standards in those 
regulations do not apply when treating paint-lead hazards of less than:
    (1) Two square feet of deteriorated lead-based paint per room or 
equivalent,
    (2) Twenty square feet of deteriorated paint on the exterior 
building, or
    (3) Ten percent of the total surface area of deteriorated paint on 
an interior or exterior type of component with a small surface area.
