    (a) This part sets forth the applicable Underground Injection 
Control (UIC) programs for each of the states, territories, and 
possessions identified pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) as 
needing a UIC program.
    (b) The applicable UIC program for a State is either a State-
administered program approved by EPA, or a federally-administered 
program promulgated by EPA. In some cases, the UIC program may consist 
of a State-administered program applicable to some classes of wells and 
a federally-administered program applicable to other classes of wells. 
Approval of a State program is based upon a determination by the 
Administrator that the program meets the requirements of section 1422 or 
section 1425 of the Safe Drinking Water Act and the applicable 
provisions of parts 124, 144, and 146 of this chapter. A federally-
administered program is promulgated in those instances where the state 
has failed to submit a program for approval or where the submitted 
program does not meet the minimum statutory and regulatory requirements.
    (c) In the case of State programs approved by EPA pursuant to 
section 1422 of the SDWA, each State subpart describes the major 
elements of such programs, including State statutes and regulations, 
Statement of Legal Authority, Memorandum of Agreement, and Program 
Description. State statutes and regulations that contain standards, 
requirements, and procedures applicable to owners or operators have been 
incorporated by reference
