SUBCHAPTER AGENERAL APPLICABILITY AND REQUIREMENTS
RULE §14.2040Filings and Notice Requirements for Stationary LNG Installations

  (2) Aggregate water capacity of less than 15,540 gallons. After receipt of LNG Form 2501, LP-Gas Operations shall conduct an inspection as soon as possible to verify the installation described complies with the rules in this chapter. The applicant may operate the facility prior to inspection if the facility fully complies with the rules in this chapter. If any LNG statute or safety rule violations exist at the time of the initial inspection at a commercial installation, LP-Gas Operations may immediately remove the subject container, including any piping, appliances, appurtenances, or equipment connected to it from LNG service until the applicant corrects the violations.

(m) If the Railroad Commission finds after a public hearing that the proposed installation complies with the rules in this chapter and the statutes of the State of Texas, and does not constitute a danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, the Railroad Commission shall issue an interim approval order. The construction of the installation and the setting of the container shall not proceed until the applicant has received written notification of the interim approval order. Any interim approval order shall include a provision that such approval may be suspended or revoked if:

  (1) the applicant has introduced LNG into the system prior to final approval; or

  (2) a physical inspection of the installation indicates that it is not installed in compliance with the submitted plat drawing for the installation, the rules in this chapter, or the statutes of the State of Texas; or

  (3) the installation constitutes a danger to the public health, safety, and welfare.

(n) Material variances. If LP-Gas Operations determines the completed installation varies materially from the application originally accepted, the applicant shall correct the variance and notify LP-Gas Operations of the correction of the variance or resubmit the application. LP-Gas Operations' review of such resubmitted application shall comply with the procedure described in this section.

(o) In the event an applicant has requested an inspection and LP-Gas Operations' inspection identifies violations requiring modifications by the applicant, LP-Gas Operations may assess an inspection fee to cover the costs associated with any additional inspection, including mileage and per diem rates set by the legislature.
