providing to the public information to help consumers locate qualified 
lead service providers (lead inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement 
contractors) and EPA-recognized lead analytical laboratories in a 
timely fashion. In addition to providing this information, the system 
also provides public guidance on a wide variety of related lead hazard 
control support items.
    This notice announces the award of $878,921 to QuanTech, Inc. which 
will be used to improve the quality of lead evaluation and hazard 
control services. In part, the grant will utilize the information 
gathered during the recently completed field study on lead-based paint 
inspections to help state and federal authorities develop quality 
control systems.
