What type of housing and other buildings are affected by this rule? What type of buildings are not affected by the rule? The sections 402/404 rule applies only to those individuals, firms and training providers involved in lead-based paint activities and training related to "target housing" and"child-occupied facilities." Target housing includes most private housing, public housing, housing receiving Federal assistance, and Federally owned housing built before 1978. Examples of child-occupied facilities include day-care centers, preschools and kindergarten classrooms. (Readers should consult the rule text for a complete definition of child-occupied facility.) The rule does not cover public or commercial buildings (except child-occupied facilities), superstructures or bridges. The Agency is continuing to develop options to establish training and certification requirements for individuals and firms working on these types of structures. Target housing does not include housing built after 1977 (because theConsumer Products Safety Commission banned the sale and distribution of lead-based paintto be used in housing in 1978), nor does it include "0-bedroom dwellings," (such as lofts, efficiencies, and studios) or housing designated for the elderly and the handicapped (unless children reside or are expected to reside there.)
