State guide
Alaska
Alaska is one of the states where EPA, not the state, administers the lead-based paint activities program for inspectors, risk assessors, and abatement firms. Alaska's state role is more focused on health surveillance, landlord-tenant guidance, and waste disposal information than on state licensing of lead inspectors.

- State lead program
- EPA administers Alaska's lead-based paint activities program, while Alaska's Department of Health handles lead surveillance and DEC publishes disposal guidance.
- Rental lead-safe requirements
- I did not locate an official Alaska statewide or city rental lead-safe certificate, lead-safe registration, or mandatory rental lead inspection ordinance page on the official sources reviewed.
- Certified lead inspector and risk assessor lookup

- Renovation (RRP) program

- Disclosure
- Alaska's landlord-tenant booklet states that pre-1978 rental agreements should include lead-based paint disclosure as required by federal law; I did not find an extra Alaska-specific rental lead disclosure rule on the official pages reviewed.
