24 C.F.R. § 35.1300
§ 35.1300 Purpose and applicability. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
The purpose of this subpart R is to provide standards and methods for evaluation and hazard reduction activities required in subparts B, C, D, and F through M of this part.
Section 35.1300 establishes the overarching purpose of Subpart R within 24 CFR Part 35, which is to set out the technical standards and methods that govern how lead-based paint hazard evaluation and reduction activities must be carried out. This subpart does not stand alone; it functions as the procedural and methodological backbone for the requirements found in Subparts B, C, D, and F through M of Part 35. In effect, it defines the 'how' behind the lead hazard rules that apply across a wide range of federally connected housing programs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to 24 CFR Part 35 should understand that § 35.1300 anchors the technical requirements they must follow when conducting lead-based paint evaluations and hazard reduction work. Compliant operators generally ensure that any evaluation or remediation activity performed on covered housing conforms to the standards and methods outlined in Subpart R, since those standards apply across the multiple subparts—B, C, D, and F through M—that trigger specific obligations. Familiarity with how Subpart R connects to the rest of Part 35 helps operators understand which technical protocols govern their particular program or transaction type.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in federally connected housing covered by 24 CFR Part 35 benefit from § 35.1300 because it establishes the technical floor for how landlords must evaluate and address lead-based paint hazards. If a tenant believes that required lead hazard evaluation or reduction work was not performed according to the standards set out in Subpart R, that concern can generally be raised with the relevant federal program agency, a local housing authority, or a tenant-rights organization familiar with HUD lead regulations. Understanding that § 35.1300 ties together the requirements across Subparts B, C, D, and F through M can help tenants identify which specific obligations apply to their housing situation.
