(a) An LNG Form 2004 decal or letter of authority shall
not be issued to any transport that has not been tested as required
by §14.2707 of this title (relating to Testing Requirements)
at least once in the preceding five years. An LNG Form 2004 decal
or letter of authority shall not be issued to any transport that has
been determined to be unsafe for LNG service by LP-Gas Operations
or a Category 15, 20, or 50 licensee in accordance with §14.2707
of this title.
(b) An LNG Form 2004 decal or letter of authority,
when issued by LP-Gas Operations and properly affixed as instructed
by the decal or letter, or maintained on the bobtail or transport
trailer, shall authorize the person to whom it has been issued to
operate such unit in the transportation of LNG and to fill the transport
containers.
(c) No person or ultimate consumer shall operate an
LNG transport or introduce LNG into such unit in this state unless
an LNG Form 2004 decal or letter of authority authorizing its operation
has been affixed in accordance with placement instructions on the
decal or letter, or maintained in readable condition, or unless such
operation has been specifically approved by LP-Gas Operations.
(d) The LNG Form 2004 decal or letter of authority
is not transferable by the person to whom it has been issued, but
shall be registered by any subsequent person or ultimate consumer
prior to the vehicle being placed into LNG service.
(e) This subsection shall not prevent a container manufacturer/fabricator
from introducing a reasonable amount of LNG into a newly constructed
container in order to properly test the vessel, piping system, and
appurtenances prior to the initial sale of the container. The LNG
shall be removed from the transport container prior to the unit leaving
the container manufacturer/fabricator's premises.
(f) A maximum of 150 gallons of LNG may be introduced
into a newly constructed transport container when such container will
provide the motor fuel to the chassis engine for the purpose of providing
sufficient fuel to allow the unit to reach its destination.
