    (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.
