42 U.S.C. § 6991
In this subchapter:
and which is determined by the Secretary to be connected to a pipeline or to be operated or intended to be capable of operating at pipeline pressure or as an integral part of a pipeline,
The term "underground storage tank" shall not include any pipes connected to any tank which is described in subparagraphs (A) through (I).
1So in original. The semicolon probably should be a period and the word "and" probably should not appear.
