The Federal Register is the document in
which federal agencies publish for public
record any regulatory action that may affect
the regulated communities, including
proposed, amended, and final rules.
Proposed and final federal regulations are
published in the Federal Register as Federal
Register Notices. Unlike the Code of

Register notices contain additional text that
explains the rationale behind a proposed or
final regulation. This additional text, referred
to as the "Preamble," may be helpful in
understanding the regulation.

SOME BASIC DEFINITIONS OF UST TERMS

UST: Underground Storage Tank. For regulatory purposes, EPA defines an underground storage
tank (UST) as a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has 10 percent or
more of its volume (of tank and piping) beneath the surface ofthe ground. USTs are used to
store petroleum or certain hazardous substances. Generally, requirements for petroleum and
hazardous substance USTs are similar.

Statute: A federal statute is a law passed by the U.S. Congress. The statute which covers
underground storage tanks is Subtitle | of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
RCRA has been amended several times since it was first enacted.

RCRA Subtitle I: The section of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that
required EPA to develop a comprehensive regulatory program for USTs storing petroleum or
hazardous substances. Congress responded to the increasing threat to groundwater posed by
leaking USTs by adding Subtitle |, which was passed as part of the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments of 1984. The law directed EPA to publish regulations that would require owners and
operators of USTs to prevent and detect leaks, and clean up léaks and spills. Subtitle | was
amended in 1986 by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA). SARA
created the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund and directed EPA to promulgate
regulations requiring owners and operators to show financial responsibility for cleaning up
releases and spills and compensating third parties for damages resulting from UST releases.
