Regulations and Standards Related to Underground Storage Tanks
[ DISCLAIMER ]
Code of Federal Regulations (or CFR): The CFR is regularly updated to incorporate any regulatory changes made. Most of the regulations concerning USTs are contained in 40 CFR Part 280 and 40 CFR Part 281, although codification of individual state and territorial programs is found in 40 CFR Parts 282.50-282.105. The list of hazardous substances is in 40 CFR Part 302.4.
NOTE: QA documents referred to in some of the following publications may be outdated. Visit The EPA Quality System web site for the latest version of EPA's QA documents.
UST Notification Form
 40 CFR 280.22 "Notification Requirements" requires that UST system owners must submit this notification form (EPA Form 7530-1) to the state or local agency or department designated to receive such notice. Since publication of these regulations, the form has been periodically modified. Only this most recent version (Rev. 11-98) of the form should be used. The form is 5 pages in length and available in two formats:
40 CFR Part 280
- PART 280TECHNICAL STANDARDS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS (UST)"
- Preamble to 40 CFR 280
- Industry Codes and Standards (although these are NOT themselves Federal regulations, compliance with these standard industry codes of practice is mandated)
40 CFR Part 281
40 CFR Part 282
| NOTE: Although numbers have been reserved for each state and territory, not all programs have yet been approved. Some files below are in PDF format. This table will be updated periodically. For the most current information, see Subpart B, 282.50 - 282.105 above. Additional information is available at http://www.epa.gov/swerust1/fedlaws/spa_frs.htm |

Proposed and final federal regulations are published in the Federal Register. Unlike the CFR, Federal Register notices contain additional text that explains the rationale behind a proposed or final regulation. This additional text, referred to as the "Preamble," may be very helpful in understanding the regulation.

A list of documents generated during development of 40 CFR 280 and 281 which are available from the UST docket. The index lists documents by category with FR number and date, the record number and date received, and a brief description of the record. The file is in PDF format, 320 pages, 729 KBytes. As a PDF file, it is fully searchable.
Federal UST regulations often require that industry codes and standards be followed (where applicable) to ensure that the UST system works properly.
