West Virginia: Final Approval of State Underground Storage Tank 
Program Revisions, Codification, and Incorporation by Reference

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended 
(commonly known as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)), 
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 
revisions to the State of West Virginia's Underground Storage Tank 
(UST) program submitted by West Virginia. This action is based on EPA's 
determination that these revisions satisfy all requirements needed for 
program approval. This action also proposes to codify EPA's approval of 
West Virginia's state program and to incorporate by reference those 
provisions of West Virginia's regulations and statutes that we have 
determined meet the requirements for approval. The provisions will be 
subject to EPA's inspection and enforcement authorities under sections 
9005 and 9006 of RCRA Subtitle I and other applicable statutory and 
regulatory provisions. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving this action by a direct final rule, 
without a prior proposed rulemaking. If no significant negative comment 
is received, EPA will not take further action on this proposed 
rulemaking, and the direct final rule will be effective 60 days from 
the date of publication in this Federal Register. If you want to 
comment on EPA's proposed approval of West Virginia's revisions to its 
state UST program, you must do so at this time.
