AI Summary

This bill, the Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship Act (FUELS Act), amends the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 to modify the applicability of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule to certain farms. Specifically, it increases the aggregate aboveground storage capacity threshold for farms to be subject to the SPCC rule from 20,000 gallons to 42,000 gallons. It also adjusts other capacity thresholds related to SPCC rule requirements for farms. These changes aim to provide regulatory relief to smaller farms and reduce the administrative burden of compliance with the SPCC rule.
