Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 18 / Monday, January 29, 2007 / Notices
These provisions do not affect or alter
the liability of any owner or operator of
an underground storage tank system.
Owners and operators must still comply
with all applicable technical
regulations. For example, they must
comply with the requirements to report
releases, perform necessary corrective
action, and maintain financial
responsibility to pay for corrective
action and for compensation of third
parties for bodily injury and property
damage.
Agreement, must comply with certain
underground storage tank requirements
of Subtitle I. EPA anticipates State and
Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) funds
will be available for inspection and
other underground storage tank
compliance activities. EPA will also
condition STAG grants with compliance
with these guidelines. Absent a
compelling reason to the contrary, EPA
expects to address noncompliance with
these STAG grant conditions by
utilizing EPA’s grant enforcement
authorities under 40 CFR part 31.43, as
necessary and appropriate.
What Enforcement Authority Must
States Have for Financial Responsibility
and Installer Certification?
For More Information About The
Financial Responsibility And Installer
Certification Grant Guidelines
At a minimum, States must have
comparable enforcement authorities for
violations of their financial
responsibility and installer certification
requirements as they have for violations
of current underground storage tank
requirements.
Visit the EPA Office of Underground
Storage Tanks Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/oust or call 703–603–
9900.
How Will States Demonstrate
Compliance With These Guidelines?
On August 8, 2005, President Bush
signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Title XV, Subtitle B of this act (entitled
the Underground Storage Tank
Compliance Act) contains amendments
to Subtitle I of the Solid Waste Disposal
Act—the original legislation that created
the underground storage tank (UST)
program. These amendments
significantly affect Federal and State
underground storage tank programs,
will require major changes to the
programs, and are aimed at reducing
underground storage tank releases to our
environment.
The amendments focus on preventing
releases. Among other things, they
expand eligible uses of the Leaking
Underground Storage Tank (LUST)
Trust Fund and include provisions
regarding inspections, operator training,
delivery prohibition, secondary
containment and financial
responsibility, and cleanup of releases
that contain oxygenated fuel additives.
Some of these provisions require
implementation by August 2006; others
will require implementation in
subsequent years. To implement the
new law, EPA and States will work
closely with tribes, other Federal
agencies, tank owners and operators,
and other stakeholders to bring about
the mandated changes affecting
underground storage tank facilities.
To see the full text of this new
legislation and for more information
about EPA’s work to implement the
underground storage tank provisions of
the law, see: https://www.epa.gov/oust/
fedlaws/nrg05_01.htm.
How is the Liability of Owners and
Operators Affected?
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
After February 8, 2007, the effective
date of the financial responsibility and
installer certification requirements, and
before receiving future grant funding,
States must provide one of the following
to EPA:
• For a State that has met the
requirements for financial responsibility
and installer certification, the State
must submit a certification indicating
that the State meets the requirements in
the guidelines.
• For a State that has not yet met the
requirements for financial responsibility
and installer certification, the State
must provide a document that describes
the State’s efforts to meet the
requirements. This document must
include:
—A description of the State’s activities
to date to meet the requirements in
the guidelines;
—A description of the State’s planned
activities to meet the requirements;
and
—The date by which the State expects
to meet the requirements.
EPA may verify State certification of
compliance through site visits, record
reviews, or audits, as authorized by 40
CFR part 31.
How Will EPA Enforce States’
Compliance With The Requirements In
These Guidelines?
As a matter of law, each State that
receives funding under Subtitle I, which
would include a Leaking Underground
Storage Tank (LUST) Cooperative
