    (a) This subpart applies to owners and operators of all petroleum 
underground storage tank (UST) systems except as otherwise provided in 
this section.
    (b) Owners and operators of petroleum UST systems are subject to 
these requirements if they are in operation on or after the date for 
compliance established in Sec. 280.91.
    (c) State and Federal government entities whose debts and 
liabilities are the debts and liabilities of a state or the United 
States are exempt from the requirements of this subpart.
    (d) The requirements of this subpart do not apply to owners and 
operators of any UST system described in Sec. 280.10 (b) or (c).
    (e) If the owner and operator of a petroleum underground storage 
tank are separate persons, only one person is required to demonstrate 
financial responsibility; however, both parties are liable in event of 
noncompliance. Regardless of which party complies, the date set for 
compliance at a particular facility is determined by the characteristics 
of the owner as set forth in Sec. 280.91.
