This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil in aboveground tanks can leak into soil and nearby water, threatening human health and wildlife. To prevent certain oil spills, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule in 1973. EPA estimated that, in 2005, about 571,000 facilities were regulated under this rule. When finalizing amendments to the rule in 2002 and 2006 to both strengthen the rule and reduce industry burden, EPA analyzed the amendments' potential impacts and concluded that the amendments were economically justified. As requested, GAO assessed the reasonableness of EPA's economic analyses of the 2002 and 2006 SPCC amendments, using Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines for federal agencies in determining regulatory impacts, among other criteria, and discussed EPA's analyses with EPA officials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil leaks from aboveground tanks have contaminated soil and water, threatening human health and wildlife. To prevent damage from oil spills, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule in 1973. EPA¿s 10 regions inspect oil storage facilities to ensure compliance with the rule. EPA estimates that about 571,000 facilities are subject to this rule. Some states also regulate oil storage tanks. This report determines: (1) how EPA regions implement the SPCC program; (2) the data EPA has to implement and evaluate the program; and (3) whether some states¿ tank programs suggest ways for EPA to improve its program. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) actions to address weaknesses in the regulation and inspection of aboveground oil storage tanks (AST), and provided information on the age, size, and other characteristics of AST. GAO found that: (1) EPA has not fully implemented any of its seven recommendations to improve the safety of aboveground oil storage tanks; (2) EPA has only partially implemented the recommendations because it gave higher priority to implementing new legislative requirements and had difficulty obtaining Office of Management and Budget approval to collect data for a national inventory of regulated facilities; (3) EPA has partially implemented one of three recommendations to strengthen its regulations governing storage tank construction; (4) proposed regulations emphasize, but do not require, that tank construction comply with certain standards and recommend that tanks be periodically tested; (5) EPA has required the facilities that pose the greatest environmental risk to develop response plans to minimize damages from spilled oil, but it has no plans to extend the requirement to other facilities; and (6) EPA expects to implement three recommendations on improving inspection procedures and documentation, training inspectors, and establishing penalties for noncompliance by 1996, but it does not know when the fourth recommendation on targeting inspections will be implemented.
