Revises the process by which States may obtain primary enforcement authority ("primacy") for Class VI underground injection wells under the Safe Drinking Water Act by adding firm timelines, notice and automatic-approval rules, pre-application assistance, a designated EPA coordinator for each State, and new reporting requirements. It also permits certain Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funds to be used to support State program development while preserving the EPA Administrator’s authority to deny or withdraw primacy.
The changes are intended to make State primacy decisions more predictable and timely, affecting State environmental agencies, the EPA, Class VI well applicants (including carbon capture and storage developers), and communities near proposed injection projects. The text explains how the new rules apply to past and future submissions but does not specify a new effective date in the provided summary.
