The document discusses standards and guidelines for inspecting above ground storage tanks (ASTs). It provides an overview of the American Petroleum Institute standard API-653 and the Steel Tank Institute standard STI-SP001, which establish requirements and procedures for AST inspections. The document also outlines a risk-based categorization approach for ASTs based on whether they have spill control and continuous release detection systems. It then provides examples of summarizing inspection information for hypothetical ASTs.
