[EPA-R03-UST-2023-0204; FRL 10811-01-Region 3]


Pennsylvania: 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 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Underground Storage 
Tank (UST) program submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 
(Pennsylvania or State). 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 
Pennsylvania's state program and to incorporate by reference those 
provisions of Pennsylvania'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 
issue of the Federal Register, EPA is approving this action by a direct 
final rule. 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 Pennsylvania's revisions to its state UST program, you must 
do so at this time.
