    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    Section 22.4(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/22.4(d) (2004))
    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 (2004).
    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. §§ 6991b (2003)) to implement Subtitle I of RCRA (42 U.S.C.
    §§ 6991
    et seq
    . (2003)), 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 from
    January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006. During that time period, USEPA did not amend its UST
    regulations in any way that would require Board action. Therefore, no action is necessary, and
    the Board dismisses this docket.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on September 21, 2006, by a vote of 4-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
