PART 147_STATE UNDERGROUND INJECTION CONTROL PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A_General Provisions
 
Sec. 147.1  Purpose and scope.


    (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 pursuant to regulations of the Office of the 
Federal Register. Material incorporated by reference is available for 
inspection in the appropriate EPA Regional Office, in EPA Headquarters, 
and at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For 
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal--register/code--of--
federal--regulations/ibr--locations.html. Other State statutes and 
regulations containing standards and procedures that constitute elements 
of the State program but do not apply directly to owners or operators 
have been listed but have not been incorporated by reference.
    (d) In the case of State programs promulgated under section 1422 
that are to be administered by EPA, the State subpart makes applicable 
the provisions of parts 124, 144, and 146, and provides additional 
requirements pertinent to the specific State program.
    (e) Regulatory provisions incorporated by reference (in the case of 
approved State programs) or promulgated by EPA (in the case of EPA-
administered programs), and all permit conditions or permit denials 
issued pursuant to such regulations, are enforceable by the 
Administrator pursuant to section 1423 of the SDWA.
    (f) The information requirements located in the following sections 
have been cleared by the Office of Management and Budget: Sections 
147.104, 147.304, 147.754, 147.904, 147.1154, 147.1354, 147.1454, 
147.1654, 147.1954, and 147.2154.
