The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing revisions to Nebraska's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program. The changes were submitted by the Nebraska State Fire Marshal and are said to meet all the necessary requirements for program approval. The EPA plans to codify and incorporate these approved state regulations by reference, and they will be subject to EPA's inspection and enforcement under federal laws. Public comments on this proposal are invited, with a deadline for submissions by January 8, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to change some rules about big tanks underground in Nebraska to make sure they are safe. They are asking people to share their thoughts about this by January 8, 2025, but they have to be careful not to share any secret business information by mistake.
