The RRP rule covers renovations performed for compensation.  If the organization is compensating anyone for the work (for example, a paid supervisor), then the renovation is covered by the RRP Rule. This is the case even though the organization has non-profit status.   

The organization may also need to become certified as a firm.  Beginning April 22, 2010, an organization that performs, offers, or claims to perform renovations covered by the RRP Rule must be certified by EPA.  A non-profit organization that offers to renovate the property of a third party for compensation, or that performs the renovation, must be certified as a firm.  The organization must comply with all the requirements of the rule that apply to firms performing renovations.  This includes having a certified renovator direct the work and provide on-the-job training to all uncertified workers, including volunteers.
