Title: Underground Injection Control: Update of State Programs 
Abstract: The regulations at 40 CFR part 147 codify each State's UIC program description and incorporates by reference the rules and regulations that the respective primacy state will implement. This includes codifying programs upon which EPA directly implements. The primary reason for part 147 is to incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations the State program authorities and regulations so EPA may bring a direct enforcement action if the state fails to comply with the state UIC program. This update is necessary to ensure that the CFR accurately reflects current approved State UIC programs and that requirements of those programs are federally enforceable. EPA Regional Offices will be submitting State revision packages as they are completed. Part 147 will then be updated in several stages. This is the first stage. This effort should have no impact on the regulated community because EPA will merely be incorporating by reference elements of already approved State programs.
