Regulatory Background Overview

In the early1990's a number of Federal agencies formed a lead task force to coordinate efforts regarding "lead".  Out of this collaboration came the Housing & Community Development Act of 1992 which includes Title X (The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992).
