What is Regulation 25? (PDF File)

In January 1996, the Department promulgated Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission Regulation 25 (PDF File) (the Arkansas Lead-based Paint-hazard Regulation), which sets forth certification, licensing, and training requirements for those persons and firms who perform lead-based paint abatement activities and training.

The regulation was revised in 1998 to include work practices to become effective January 1, 1999. The regulation pertains to work performed in two areas:

  • Target housing: any housing constructed prior to 1978, except housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities (unless any one or more children age 6 years or under resides or is expected to reside in such housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities ) or any 0-bedroom dwelling.
  • Child-occupied facility: a building or portion of a building constructed prior to 1978, visited regularly by the same child, age 6 years or under, on at least two different days within any week (Sunday through Saturday period), provided that each day’s visit lasts at least 3 hours and the combined weekly visit lasts at least 6 hours, and the combined annual visits last at least 60 hours. Child-occupied facilities may include, but are not limited to, day-care centers, preschools and kindergarten classrooms
