Unless otherwise specified by the Commission, carriers shall use the applicable provisions of the procedures established by the United States Department of Transportation as codified at 49 CFR 192 (revised October 1, 1998). These incorporated materials are available for inspection at the offices of the State Fire Marshal at either of the following locations: 246 South 14th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508-1804; 438 West Market Street, Albion, NE 68620; or, Craft State Office Building, 200 South Silber, North Platte, NE, 69101-4298.

002.02 Scope

These provisions shall apply to all intrastate carriers operating within the state.

002.03 Facilities, Inspection and Repairs

All facilities shall be cleaned when necessary and inspected at such intervals as the Commission shall determine. Any facilities known to be defective so as to endanger life or property shall be promptly repaired, permanently disconnected or isolated until repairs can be made.

002.04 Waiving of Rules

The rules may be modified or waived by the Commission wherever shown to be impractical or where the advantage of uniformity with existing construction is greater than construction in compliance with the rules providing that the existing construction is equivalently safe to the existing rules.

002.05 Waiver of Temporary Installations

These rules may be waived by the Commission in cases of temporary installations for a reasonable length of time provided that such construction is under competent supervision and has been made reasonably safe.
