    Adopted Rule.
    Final Order.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    Pursuant to Section 22.4(d)
    of the Environmental Protection
    Act
    (Act), the Board is amending the UST underground storage tank
    regulations in 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 731.
    The Board is adopting a
    separate Opinion on this same day.
    Section 22.4 of the Act governs adoption of regulations
    establishing the RCRA/UST program in Illinois.
    Section 22.4(d)
    provides for quick adoption of regulations which are “identical
    in substance” to federal regulations.
    Section 22.4(d) provides
    that Title vii of the Act and Section 5 of the Administrative
    Procedure Act
    (APA)
    shall not apply.
    Because this rulemaking is
    not subject to Section 5 of the APA,
    it is not subject to first
    notice or to second notice review by the Joint Committee on
    Administrative Rules
    (JCAR).
    The federal UST rules are found at
    40 CFR 280.
    This rulemaking updates Illinois’ UST rules to
    correspond with the following USEPA actions, during the period
    January
    1 through June 30,
    1991.
    The complete text of the rules
    is attached to this Order.
    The rules will be filed, and will appear
    in the Illinois Register
    in the near future.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy N. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    ~
    hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the

    “Belowground release” means any release to the
    subsurface of the land and to groundwater.
    This
    includes, but is not limited to, releases from the

    “Board” means the Illinois Pollution Control Board.
    “Cathodic protection” is a technique to prevent

    that
    surface
    the
    cathode of an clectrochemical
    ccli.
    For
    example,
    a
    tank system can be cathodically protected through the
    application of either galvanic anodes or impressed
    current.
    “Cathodic protection tester” means a person who can
    demonstrate an understanding of the principles and
    measurements of all common types of cathodic protection
    systems as applied to buried or submerged metal piping
    and

    At a minimum,
    ouch persons shall
    have education and experience in soil resistivity,
    stray current, structure—to-soil potential and
    component electrical isolation measurements of buried
    metal

    tank
    systems.
    “CERCLA” means the Comprehensive Environmental

    substances to maintain their respective physical and
    chemical properties upon contact with one another for
    tho design hf
    p
    of the tank system under conditions
    likely to be encountered in the UCT.
    “Connected piping” means all underground piping
    including valves, elbows,
    joints,
    flanges and flexible
    connectors attached to a tank system through which
    regulated substances flow.
    For the purpose of
    determining how much piping is connected to any
    individual lIST system, the piping that joins two UST
    systems must be allocated equally between them.
