N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 1 § 224.12 - Color coding of fill ports

The owner or operator of a retail establishment selling petroleum products from underground storage tanks (USTs) shall permanently mark all fill ports to identify the products inside. These markings shall be in accordance with the color code set forth in American Petroleum Industries (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1637, 4th edition, April 2020, published by the API, 1220 L Street, Washington DC 20005-4070. The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) previously incorporated by reference API RP 1637 in its regulations regulating petroleum bulk storage (6 NYCRR 613-1.10). API RS 1637 was filed with the Department of State on May 23, 2023, file number M-20-15. Copies are available for inspection during regular business hours at the office of the DEC Division of Environmental Remediation, located at 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233, at the Department of Agriculture and Markets, 10B Airline Drive, Albany, New York 12235, and at the Department of State, 99Washington Avenue, Suite 650, Albany, New York 12231. If a UST system contains petroleum that does not have a corresponding API color code, the owner or operator of the retail establishment must clearly and conspicuously mark the fill port to identify the petroleum that is in the UST system. For any fill port connected to multiple UST systems storing different types of petroleum, the owner or operator of the retail establishment may place the marking referred to herein near the fill port to identify the petroleum in the UST systems.
