    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved changes to Indiana's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program, ensuring it aligns with federal requirements. These revisions, which satisfy federal standards, include both more stringent state measures and broader state coverage. Indiana's UST regulations are now enforceable at the federal level, though certain state-specific provisions are implemented independently. The action also clarifies that these changes do not affect areas recognized as Indian country.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has agreed that Indiana's new rules for keeping underground tanks safe and not leaking are good and match national rules, but these rules don't apply to land where Native American tribes live.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to approve updates to Indiana's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program as part of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). They are implementing these changes through a direct final rule, expecting no opposition or controversial feedback. If any adverse comments are received, the EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and address all public comments in a subsequent final rule. Comments on this proposal need to be submitted by March 19, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to help Indiana update how they take care of big tanks underground that store things like gas. They think everything looks good and don't expect anyone to disagree, but if people do, they will listen and make sure everything is fair.
