Section 9.37 - Termination of LP-Gas Service(a) If AFS determines that any LP-gas container or installation constitutes an immediate danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, AFS shall require the immediate removal of liquid and vapor LP-gas and/or the immediate disconnection by a properly licensed company to the extent necessary to eliminate the danger. This may include appliances, equipment, or any part of the system including the servicing container. A warning tag shall be installed by AFS until the unsafe condition is remedied. Once the unsafe condition is corrected, the tag may be removed if authorized by AFS.(b) If AFS determines that any LP-gas container or installation does not comply with the Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 113, or the rules in this chapter, but does not constitute an immediate danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, AFS shall take action to ensure that the container or installation comes into compliance as soon as practicable. AFS action may include the placement of a warning tag. Once the container or installation complies with Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 113, and the rules in this chapter, AFS may remove or delegate the removal of the warning tag.(c) If the affected entity disagrees with the removal from service and/or placement of a warning tag, the entity may request a review of AFS' decision within 10 calendar days. AFS shall notify such entity of its finding, in writing, stating the deficiencies, within 10 business days. If the entity disagrees, the entity may request or AFS on its own motion may call a hearing. Such installation shall be brought into compliance or removed from service until such time as the final decision is rendered by the Commission.16 Tex. Admin. Code § 9.37
