  (1) An applicant for a Category 20 or 50 license or renewal shall file with AFS a completed LNG Form 2505, certifying that the applicant will follow the testing procedures indicated. LNG Form 2505 shall be signed by the appropriate LNG company representative designated on the licensee's LNG Form 2001.

  (2) An applicant for Category 15, 20, or 50 license or renewal who tests tanks, subframes LNG cargo tanks, or performs other activities requiring DOT registration shall file with AFS a copy of any applicable current DOT registrations.
