  • Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104435
    Reading Time:about 99 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted final authorization to Utah's changes in its hazardous waste management program, effective February 21, 2025. This approval means facilities in Utah must comply with state requirements that align with federal standards under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Utah is authorized to enforce its program except in Indian Country and will issue necessary permits, but the EPA retains the right to conduct inspections and enforce regulations. These changes were codified into the federal regulations, allowing Utah to implement its own hazardous waste management program.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has given Utah the green light to manage hazardous waste by themselves, as long as they follow the rules, but the EPA can still check to make sure everything's safe.

    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.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved revisions to Nebraska's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. These revisions ensure that Nebraska's program remains as strict as federal standards and will now be federally enforceable, though they don't add new requirements for the state's regulated community. The approval process involved Nebraska submitting a comprehensive application detailing its program and enforcement mechanisms. The revised program will become effective on February 7, 2025, unless adverse comments are submitted by January 8, 2025. If any opposing comments are received, the EPA may withdraw the rule to address those concerns.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has said yes to Nebraska’s new rules about how people keep gas tanks underground, making sure they’re just as safe as the country's main rules. If nobody complains by January 8, these rules will be used starting February 7 next year, but if someone finds a problem, they will look at it again.
