Abstract: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, Underground Storage Tanks Program Office ("USTPO") is planning to undertake an effort to increase the rate of compliance in Indian country. In FY 08, the rate of compliance in Region 9 Indian country was 36%. EPA anticipates that an information request pursuant to RCRA section 9005 directed to UST facility owners and operators in order to determine compliance at the facilities will help to significantly increase the rate of compliance and provide specific compliance assistance where applicable.
