    Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.4(d) (2000))
    requires the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to regulations of the
    United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). 415 ILCS 5/7.2 (2000).
    Specifically, Section 22.4(d) relates to underground storage tank (UST) regulations
    promulgated by the USEPA pursuant to Section 9003 of the federal Resource Conservation and
    Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) (42 U.S.C. §§ 6993 (1998)) to implement Subtitle I of RCRA

    . (1998)), with certain limitations. USEPA has codified its UST
    regulations at 40 C.F.R. 281 through 283. The Board reserved this docket for any UST
    amendments adopted by USEPA between January 1, 2002 and June 30, 2002.
    During that time period, USEPA did not amend the federal UST regulations.
    Therefore, no action is necessary, and the Board dismisses this docket.

    above order was adopted on August 8, 2002, by a vote of 7-0.
