Why Reg-In-A-Box...
OUST believes that the better you understand our Federal regulations,
the more likely you are to comply with them. Reg-In-A-Box helps you
find what you are looking for in the rules. And when you find what
you are looking for, Reg-In-A-Box helps you understand it.
What's in the box...
Reg-In-A-Box contains the text of OUST's final rules on tank
technology, corrective action, and financial responsibility as
published in the Federal Register on September 23, 1988, and October
26, 1988 (40FR37194 and 40FR43370). It does not contain the text of
our state program approval rules. Nor does it contain the preambles
of either of the above publications.
How Reg-in-a-Box Works...
Reg-in-a-Box puts "buttons" in the text of our regulations which you
can push to get an explanation, a cross reference, advice, and to
search for a word or a phrase. "Buttons" are words on your computer
screen located between triangular or diamond shaped symbols. When you
place your cursor on a "button" and press the F1 key Reg-in-a-Box
displays information.
