HR 3909 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 with respect to the application of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure rule to certain farms, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends federal rules governing the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure requirements for farms that store petroleum products. The bill raises the threshold that triggers mandatory compliance with these environmental spill-prevention rules from 20,000 gallons to 42,000 gallons of aggregate aboveground storage capacity. The bill also adjusts other storage capacity thresholds related to farm exemptions from the rule and removes certain additional requirements previously applicable to farms. These changes reduce regulatory compliance requirements for agricultural operations with smaller petroleum storage volumes.
