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 applicability of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. Specifically, it increases the aggregate aboveground storage capacity threshold for farms from 20,000 gallons to 42,000 gallons, and it adjusts the thresholds for smaller farms to be exempt from the SPCC rule, from 1,000 gallons to 1,320 gallons for individual aboveground containers and from 2,500 gallons to 3,000 gallons for total aboveground storage capacity. The bill aims to provide relief to certain farms from the SPCC rule's requirements.
