When were HUD regulations addressing lead-based paint hazards released?

The year is 1992. Congress passed the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (Title X) in 1992, which required HUD to create a regulatory program to identify and reduce lead-based paint hazards in housing. That enactment set the mandate for HUD’s lead-based paint regulations, marking the start of the formal regulatory framework. (The implementing rules were issued a few years later, with related disclosure provisions following in the mid-1990s.) The earlier dates don’t reflect when HUD began regulating lead-based paint hazards.
