| (a) In order to determine the safety of a container,
AFS may require that the licensee or operator of the container submit
a copy of the manufacturer's data report on that container. AFS may
also require that the container and assembly be tested by a Category
15, 20, or 50 licensee and a comprehensive report on the findings
submitted to AFS. This requirement may be applied even though an acceptable
LNG Form 2023 has been received.
(b) Any stationary LNG container previously in LNG
service brought into Texas or which has not been subject to continuous
LNG pressure or inert gas pressure shall be inspected by a currently
licensed Category 15, 20, or 50 licensee to determine if the container
shall be leak-tested or re-certified. A copy of the inspector's written
report shall be filed with AFS. The container shall not be used until
the appropriate leak test or certification process determines the
container is safe for LNG service.
(c) Any stationary LNG container which has been subject
to continuous LNG or inert gas pressure may not require testing prior
to installation provided the licensee or operator of the container
files LNG Form 2023 at the time LNG Form 2500 is submitted for any
facility requiring submission of a site plan in accordance with §14.2040
of this title (relating to Filings for Stationary LNG Installations).
(d) AFS may remove a container from LNG service or
require ASME acceptance of a container at any time if AFS determines
that the nameplate is loose, unreadable, or detached, or if it appears
to be tampered with or damaged in any way and does not contain at
a minimum the items specified in subsection (a) of this section.
