  • 2020-24240 — Arkansas: Final Approval of State Underground Storage Tank Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 977
    Reading Time:about 30 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given final approval to revisions of Arkansas's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program. This approval means that Arkansas's UST program meets federal requirements and regulations, making it enforceable by the EPA. The EPA codified this approval to enhance public understanding of the program and ensure that state-approved regulations align with federal standards. However, certain provisions of Arkansas’s UST program, which are broader in scope than federal requirements, are not federally enforceable.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has checked and approved Arkansas's way of managing underground tanks that might leak dangerous stuff. This means they agree it follows the important rules, but Arkansas has some extra rules that only Arkansas cares about, not the whole country.

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.
