The objectives of this program are to: 1) assist Grantees, including States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, America Samoa, the Northern Marianas, the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Indian Tribes, in developing and maintaining compliance monitoring programs to prevent or eliminate unreasonable risks to health or the environment associated with chemical substances or mixtures in their communities, specifically Lead-based paint, Asbestos, and PCB; 2) encourage regulatory activities within the Grantees communities to establish their own programs for Lead-based paint and Asbestos (waiver programs); and 3) provide funds to support enforcement activities for Asbestos waiver state programs and Lead-based paint programs. EPA may provide funding for cooperative compliance monitoring grants to Grantees under TSCA to conduct inspections to ensure compliance with the PCB regulations, the Asbestos-in-Schools requirements (inspections at charter schools, public schools, private, non-profit schools and religious schools), the Model Accreditation Plan (MAP), TSCA section 6 Ban and Phase Out Rule, and the TSCA Asbestos Worker Protection Standards and to conduct Lead-based paint activities. Authorized Grantees also conduct enforcement responses for the Lead-based program. Grantees that have obtained an EPA waiver from the Asbestos regulation (Subpart E of Part 763) also have enforcement responsibilities. In FY 2025, the TSCA PCB and Asbestos programs will: 1) ensure existing compliance monitoring programs continue to meet established standards; 2) promote activities that lead to waiver status for Asbestos programs; 3) ensure states meet EPA inspector training requirements necessary to obtain and keep EPA credentials in those programs which require the use of EPA credentials (the PCB compliance monitoring programs and Asbestos programs in non-waiver states); 4) provide inspection activity where there is an identified need including, but not limited to, Children's Health and Environmental Justice areas. In FY 2025 States with authorized Lead-based paint programs will focus on individuals and firms which conduct lead abatement and renovation and their continuance with the training and certification, and work practice standards requirements. States with authorized renovation notice rules will also monitor those requirements.

FY 2016 information will not be available until October 1, 2016, at the earliest Twenty-two Asbestos, nine PCB, and thirty-eight Lead grants were awarded to States in FY 2016. Agencies participating in the TSCA Compliance Monitoring grants program receive funds to support and enhance toxic substance compliance monitoring, assurance and enforcement activities. Typical program activities for the Asbestos grant program include compliance inspections at facilities regulated under the AHERA program plus preparation of inspection reports. For waiver states, work includes case preparation and taking enforcement action. Non-waiver states using EPA credentials submit their inspection reports to EPA for case review and appropriate enforcement action. In FY 2016, 1,093 compliance monitoring inspections were conducted. Typical program activities for the PCB grant program include compliance inspections at facilities regulated under the TSCA PCB program, and submission of inspection reports to EPA for review and enforcement action, if appropriate. In FY 2016, 346 inspections were conducted. Typical program activities for the Lead-based paint grant program include compliance inspections at facilities regulated under the TSCA Lead-based paint program plus initiation of appropriate enforcement action by authorized states or referral to EPA for case review and appropriate enforcement action when violations are detected. In FY 2016, 2,995 inspections were conducted.
In FY 2017 there were 3,555 lead-based paint inspections, 427 AHERA inspections, and 135 PCB inspections. It is anticipated the TSCA Compliance Monitoring grant program will receive a similar number of Grantee requests in FY 2019 as were received in FY 2018. At the earliest, FY 2019 program information (end-of-year report) must be submitted 90 days after the close of the grant
In FY 2018 there were 3,972 lead-based paint inspections, 1,117 AHERA inspections, and 373 PCB inspections. It is anticipated the TSCA Compliance Monitoring grant program will receive a similar number of Grantee requests in FY 2020 as were received in FY 2018. At the earliest, FY 2020 program information (end-of-year report) must be submitted 90 days after the close of the grant

In FY22, states receiving PCB funds completed 225 compliance inspections. The AHERA waiver states completed over 700 compliance inspections. AHERA non-waiver states completed 85 inspections. Over 2,000 lead-based paint abatement inspections were completed while almost 1,000 RRP inspections were completed.
