3. State Program Approval (SPA)
SPA is a process whereby EPA approves a “State UST Program” to operate in lieu of the federal UST program. State’s requirements must be no less stringent than the corresponding federal requirements.

4. SPA State vs non-SPA State
Non-SPA State – Federal authority and influence. Owners must comply with both federal and state UST regulations.
SPA State - When EPA grants SPA to a State, federal regulations no longer are in effect. If EPA brings an enforcement action in that State, we enforce State Regulations.
