(2) The director of the division of oil and public safety shall make, promulgate, and enforce rules concerning the design, construction, installation, and operation of aboveground storage tanks permitted to be used and installed on or after July 1, 1993, which rules shall be no more stringent, either substantially or procedurally, than the requirements contained in the current edition of the national fire code published by the national fire protection association, as revised by the association from time to time, and in spill prevention control and countermeasures regulations promulgated by the United States environmental protection agency.

(3) Within one hundred twenty days after January 1, 2008, the director of the division of oil and public safety shall promulgate, and the division shall enforce, rules concerning the placement of aboveground storage tanks that contain renewable fuels.
