§ 200.830 - Compliance with other Federal, State and local laws.

(a) HUD responsibility. If HUD determines that a State or local law, ordinance, code or regulation provides for lead-based paint testing or hazard abatement in a manner that provides a comparable level of protection from the hazards of lead-based paint poisoning to that provided by the requirements of this subpart and that adherence to the requirements of this subpart would be duplicative or otherwise cause inefficiencies, HUD may modify or waive the requirements of this subpart in a manner that will promote efficiency while ensuring a comparable level of protection.

(b) Participant responsibility. Nothing in this subpart is intended to relieve any participant in the programs covered by this subpart of any responsibility for compliance with State or local laws, ordinances, codes or regulations governing lead-based paint testing or hazard abatement.

(c) Disposal of lead-based paint debris. Lead-based paint and defective paint debris shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable Federal, State or local requirements. (See, e.g., 40 CFR parts 260-271.)
