[EPA-R01-UST-2019-0420; FRL-10000-56-Region 1]


Maine: 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 Maine's Underground Storage Tank 
(UST) program submitted by the Maine Department of Environmental 
Protection (ME DEP). 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 Maine's state 
program and to incorporate by reference those provisions of the State 
regulations 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.
