The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is adding Nevada's approved underground storage tank program to the Code of Federal Regulations. The program covers rules for preventing and responding to leaks from underground tanks. EPA approved Nevada's revised program in 2021, and this rule only records that approval, adding no new requirements beyond Nevada law. The rule takes effect December 21, 2026, unless EPA receives adverse comment by November 23, 2026.
