The Insurance Department is collecting the 2-cent a gallon fee for a $122 million annual fund to cover most cleanup costs. Dealers also will have to pay $100 a year per tank. Federal environmental regulations gave states until Dec. 31 to come up with programs covering cleanup costs. Pennsylvania's program goes into effect Feb.

1. Without the fund, gasoline dealers feared they risked bankruptcy if they were hit with an underground leak. Department of Environmental Resources spokeswoman Susan Martino estimated that about 15 percent of station tanks are leaking. Even with the fund, dealers are responsible for the first $10,000 of cleanup costs. Similar programs, in other states underestimated the number of leaks and costs, state Insurance Department Director Ronaid Gallagher said.

In 1992, Florida's fund was $2 billion in debt, California's was $700 million in debt and Wisconsin's went broke. Pennsylvania's fund starts with a much stronger base, Gallagher said. Journal Inc.

Times WASHINGTON Acting to ward off a potential congressional inquiry and bowing to outside pressure, President Clinton asked Attorney General Janet Reno on Wednesday to appoint a special counsel to investigate his involvement a real estate development and its relationship to a failed Arkansas savings and loan. The decision, relayed to White House aides by telephone as the president was traveling in the Czech Republic, was an outright reversal by Clinton and his wife, Hillary, in the matter. Until Wednesday, they had maintained that there was no need for a special investigation into their investment in a plan to develop a retirement community in northern Arkansas because they had done nothing wrong. Democrats in Congress began to join the calls for the appointment of a special counsel and urged Clinton to demonstrate that he had nothing to hide. Aides said Clinton spoke with Mrs.

Clinton by telephone from Europe on Tuesday night and she "concurred" with the decision. Ms. Reno said Wednesday night that she would reluctantly comply with the president's request. For weeks, Ms. Reno has argued that any counsel she appointed would not appear to be entirely independent and that she would prefer to wait until Congress revived a law that would allow her to ask a court to choose a counsel.

A bill to put the law back on the books is pending in Congress. "However, it is equally clear that we must do everything we can to ensure public confidence in the investigation, and to separate fact from speculation as rapidly as possible," she said. Ms. Reno said she would begin immediately to consider whom to appoint and how broad the counsel's mandate would be. The Clintons were partners in Whitewater Development Corp.
