[EPA-R08-UST-2019-0827; FRL-9997-45-Region 8]


Montana: 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 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA 
or Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the State of Montana's Underground Storage Tank 
(UST) program submitted by the State. The EPA has determined that these 
revisions satisfy all requirements needed for program approval. This 
action also proposes to codify the EPA's approval of Montana's State 
program and incorporates by reference those provisions of the State's 
statutes and regulations that we have determined meet the requirements 
for approval. The EPA continues to retain its inspection and 
enforcement authorities under sections 9005 and 9006 of RCRA Subtitle I 
and other applicable statutory and regulatory provisions in the State 
of Montana.
