and permits have been issued; and
(C) the date the installation has been placed into
CNG service.

(A) If any non-compliance items are cited at the time

CNG service until the non-compliance items are corrected, as determined
at the time of inspection, depending on the nature of the non-compliance
items cited.

the subject container, including any piping, appliances, appurtenances,
or equipment connected to it be immediately removed from CNG service
until the applicant corrects the non-compliance items.

shall comply with subsection (b)(3) of this section.
(4) In the event an applicant has requested an inspection
and AFS' inspection identifies non-compliance items requiring modifications
by the applicant, AFS may assess an inspection fee to cover the costs
associated with any additional inspection, including mileage and per
diem rates set by the legislature.
