- 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.
