§ 9.37. Termination of LP-Gas Service
(a) If LP-Gas Operations determines that any LP-gas container or installation constitutes an immediate danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, LP-Gas Operations 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 LP-Gas Operations until the unsafe condition is remedied. Once the unsafe condition is corrected, the tag may be removed if authorized by LP-Gas Operations.
(b) If LP-Gas Operations determines that any LP-gas container or installation does not comply with the Texas Nat-ural Resources Code, Chapter 113, or the LP-Gas Safety Rules, but does not constitute an immediate danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, LP-Gas Operations shall take action to ensure that the container or installation comes into compliance as soon as practicable. LP-Gas Operations action may include the placement of a warning tag. Once the container or installation complies with Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 113, and the LP-Gas Safety Rules, LP-Gas Operations 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 LP-Gas Operations' decision within 10 calendar days. LP-Gas Operations 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 LP-Gas Operations 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.
