and, if different, the operator of the child-occupied facility, in writing, of
the remodeling, repainting, or renovation, and make the pamphlet, Lead
Poisoning: How to Protect Iowa Families, or the federal pamphlet, Renovate
Right, available upon request. At a minimum, this notification shall be

renovation, remodeling, or repainting activity.
b. The starting and ending dates of the
renovation, remodeling, or repainting activity.

Provide the pamphlet, Lead Poisoning: How to Protect Iowa Families, or the
federal pamphlet, Renovate Right, and information regarding the general nature
and locations of the renovation, remodeling, or repainting and the anticipated
