Search 15 U.S.C. § 2688 : US Code - Section 2688: Control of lead-based paint hazards at Federal facilities

Each department, agency, and instrumentality of executive,
legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government (1)
having jurisdiction over any property or facility, or (2) engaged
in any activity resulting, or which may result, in a lead-based
paint hazard, and each officer, agent, or employee thereof, shall
be subject to, and comply with, all Federal, State, interstate, and
local requirements, both substantive and procedural (including any
requirement for certification, licensing, recordkeeping, or
reporting or any provisions for injunctive relief and such
sanctions as may be imposed by a court to enforce such relief)
respecting lead-based paint, lead-based paint activities, and lead-
based paint hazards in the same manner, and to the same extent as
any nongovernmental entity is subject to such requirements,
including the payment of reasonable service charges. The Federal,
State, interstate, and local substantive and procedural
requirements referred to in this subsection include, but are not
limited to, all administrative orders and all civil and
administrative penalties and fines regardless of whether such
penalties or fines are punitive or coercive in nature, or whether
imposed for isolated, intermittent or continuing violations. The
United States hereby expressly waives any immunity otherwise
applicable to the United States with respect to any such
substantive or procedural requirement (including, but not limited
to, any injunctive relief, administrative order, or civil or
administrative penalty or fine referred to in the preceding
sentence, or reasonable service charge). The reasonable service
charges referred to in this section include, but are not limited
to, fees or charges assessed for certification and licensing, as
well as any other nondiscriminatory charges that are assessed in
connection with a Federal, State, interstate, or local lead-based
paint, lead-based paint activities, or lead-based paint hazard
activities program. No agent, employee, or officer of the United
States shall be personally liable for any civil penalty under any
Federal, State, interstate, or local law relating to lead-based
paint, lead-based paint activities, or lead-based paint hazards
with respect to any act or omission within the scope of his
official duties.
