On a number of occasions from December 1, 2012 through January 31, 2014, Respondent�s training program provided and offered EPA accredited lead-based paint renovator course. Based on the review of available information, Respondent failed to provide EPA with notification of the renovator course offered at least seven business days prior to the start of the course and failed to provide EPA notification following completion of the renovator course. In addition, Respondent failed to submit and/or retain EPA-recognized documents as evidence that the training managers and principal instructors have the education, work experience and training requirements, pursuant to 40 C.F.R.
