AI Summary

This bill, the Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship (FUELS) Act, amends the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 to change the application of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule for certain farms. Specifically, it increases the threshold for the aggregate aboveground storage capacity from 20,000 gallons to 42,000 gallons for the SPCC rule to apply, and it adjusts other capacity thresholds related to the rule's applicability. Additionally, the bill removes the provision that allows the Environmental Protection Agency to require farms with an aggregate aboveground storage capacity of less than 10,000 gallons to prepare an SPCC plan.
