Homeowners who do their own work in their own home are exempt from RRP rules. EPA does, however, urge homeowners to read EPA's Renovate Right: Important Lead Hazard Information for Families, Child Care Providers, and Schools. Homeowners can also call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323) for more information or visit EPA’s website at: http://www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/

New Rules for Homes Built Prior to 1978
If you are planning renovation, repair, or painting (RRP) on a home built before 1978, you should be aware of EPA rules that require such work be done by certified contractors who must follow EPA work guidelines. This may complicate or add expense to such projects. RRP rules in Oregon are jointly administered and enforced by the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) and the Department of Human Services (DHS).
