subject to public review and comment, that New Hampshire’s UST program

application is available for public review at the addresses below.

SUMMARY:  New Hampshire received final approval on June 19, 1991,
effective July 19, 1991 (56 FR 28089) to administer the UST program in
lieu of the federal program.  On November 2, 1993, effective January 3,
1994 (58 FR 58624), EPA codified the approved New Hampshire program,
incorporating by reference the state statutes and regulations that are
thereby subject to EPA’s inspection and enforcement authorities under
RCRA sections 9005 and 9006, 42 U.S.C. 6991d and 6991e, and other
applicable statutory and regulatory provisions.  New Hampshire submitted
its final application on February 23, 2006 for this latest update, and
upon review EPA has determined that the State’s underground storage
tank program revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to
qualify for Final program approval.  New Hampshire is seeking approval
for revisions to its underground storage tank base program regulations
for which it has been previously approved.  A complete listing of the
revisions will be in the upcoming Federal Register.
