42 U.S.C. § 4854b
Authorization (THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE (42 U.S.C.))
Operative Text
Of the total amount approved in appropriation Acts under section 4852() of this title, there shall be set aside to carry out this part $5,000,000 for fiscal year 1993, and $5,000,000 for fiscal year 1994. o
Under 42 U.S.C. § 4854b, Congress designated specific funding amounts from the broader appropriations authorized elsewhere in the statute—$5,000,000 for fiscal year 1993 and $5,000,000 for fiscal year 1994—to be reserved exclusively for carrying out the lead-based paint hazard reduction programs covered by this part of the law. This set-aside mechanism ensures that a defined portion of total appropriated funds is directed toward these specific programs rather than being available for general use. The provision does not create new spending authority on its own but rather carves out a guaranteed allocation from already-approved appropriations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers involved in federally assisted housing programs should be aware that 42 U.S.C. § 4854b established dedicated federal funding for lead-based paint hazard reduction activities during fiscal years 1993 and 1994. Compliant operators in programs supported by these funds generally maintained records of any federally funded lead hazard reduction work performed on their properties during that period. Understanding the funding structure behind these programs can help operators contextualize the federal requirements and resources that accompanied lead-based paint regulations of that era.

42 U.S.C. § 4854b reflects Congress's commitment to funding lead-based paint hazard reduction efforts in housing, setting aside $5,000,000 in each of fiscal years 1993 and 1994 for these programs. Tenants living in housing that received federal assistance during that period may have had access to lead hazard reduction services supported by this funding stream. Tenants who believe their housing was subject to lead-based paint requirements under this part of the law can explore their rights through a local tenant-rights organization or a HUD-affiliated housing agency.
