Not later than 2 years after August 8, 2005, in consultation and cooperation with States and after public notice and opportunity for comment, the Administrator* shall publish guidelines that specify training requirements for—
persons having primary responsibility for on-site operation and maintenance of underground storage tank* systems;
persons having daily on-site responsibility for the operation and maintenance of underground storage tanks systems; and
daily, on-site employees having primary responsibility for addressing emergencies presented by a spill or release* from an underground storage tank system.
The guidelines described in paragraph (1) shall take into account—
State* training programs in existence as of the date of publication of the guidelines;
training programs that are being employed by tank owners and tank operators as of August 8, 2005;
the high turnover rate of tank operators and other personnel;
the frequency of improvement in underground storage tank equipment technology;
the nature of the businesses in which the tank operators are engaged;
the substantial differences in the scope and length of training needed for the different classes of persons described in subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (1); and
such other factors as the Administrator determines to be necessary to carry out this section.
Not later than 2 years after the date on which the Administrator publishes the guidelines under subsection (a)(1), each State that receives funding under this subchapter shall develop State-specific training requirements that are consistent with the guidelines developed under subsection (a)(1).
State requirements described in paragraph (1) shall—
be consistent with subsection (a);
be developed in cooperation with tank owners and tank operators;
take into consideration training programs implemented by tank owners and tank operators as of August 8, 2005; and
be appropriately communicated to tank owners and operators.
The Administrator may award to a State that develops and implements requirements described in paragraph (1), in addition to any funds that the State is entitled to receive under this subchapter, not more than $200,000, to be used to carry out the requirements.
All persons that are subject to the operator* training requirements of subsection (a) shall—
meet the training requirements developed under subsection (b); and
repeat the applicable requirements developed under subsection (b), if the tank for which they have primary daily on-site management responsibilities is determined to be out of compliance with—
a requirement or standard promulgated by the Administrator under section 6991b of this title; or
a requirement or standard of a State program approved under section 6991c of this title.
