24 C.F.R. § 35.1310
§ 35.1310 References. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
Further guidance information regarding evaluation and hazard reduction activities described in this subpart is found in the following: (a) The HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing (Guidelines); (b) The EPA Guidance on Residential Lead-Based Paint, Lead-Contaminated Dust, and Lead Contaminated Soil; (c) Guidance, methods or protocols issued by States and Indian tribes that have been authorized by EPA under 40 CFR 745.324 to administer and enforce lead-based paint programs.
Section 35.1310 of 24 CFR Part 35 identifies a set of external guidance documents that support the lead-based paint hazard evaluation and reduction requirements described elsewhere in the subpart. These include federal publications from HUD and EPA, as well as materials issued by states or tribal authorities that have received EPA authorization to run their own lead-based paint programs. The provision does not itself impose new obligations but points practitioners toward resources that elaborate on how the underlying requirements should be carried out.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.1310 generally familiarize themselves with the HUD and EPA guidance documents referenced in this section, since those materials explain accepted methods for evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards. Operators working in states or tribal jurisdictions with EPA-authorized programs also consult any locally issued protocols, which may reflect region-specific standards. Keeping current with updates to these referenced resources is a common practice among compliant operators.

Under 24 CFR Part 35 § 35.1310, tenants can be aware that the federal lead-based paint rules are backed by detailed guidance from HUD and the EPA, as well as state or tribal materials where applicable, all of which describe how hazard evaluation and reduction should be conducted. If a tenant believes lead hazards have not been properly addressed, these guidance documents can provide context for understanding what compliant practices look like. Tenant-rights organizations and local rent boards can help identify which guidance applies in a given jurisdiction and what complaint or enforcement paths may be available.
