- (a) Granting of tentative approval for LP-gas installations of 10,000 gallons aggregate water capacity or more. Tentative approval may be granted by the commission if it is determined that the application meets all applicable LP-gas safety rules and statutes of the State of Texas, and that the installation does not appear to constitute a danger to the public health, safety, and welfare. The commission may grant tentative approval if each real property owner described in §9.21(a) of this title (relating to Notice for Stationary LP-Gas Installations) has been given notice as certified by the applicant on LPG Form 500, even though objections have been received. If tentative approval is granted, the applicant may begin construction of the proposed facility at its own risk that tentative approval may be revoked without a hearing, that final approval may not be granted, and that the applicant may be required to remove the installation. The construction of the installation and the setting of the container may not proceed until the applicant has received written notification of the tentative approval.
- (b) Revocation of tentative approval. If the commission determines that the installation is being or has been constructed so as to require the notification of additional real property owners situated within 500 feet of the proposed installation, or if the completed installation materially varies from the original submission, tentative approval may be revoked by the commission. If tentative approval is revoked, all construction must cease until tentative approval is again granted by the commission following a new application and re-notification of all owners of real property situated within 500 feet of the proposed installation.
- (c) Alterations or additions. The commission must be notified prior to implementation of any field alterations or additions during construction (except maintenance and repairs) related to the LP-gas installation in order for the commission to determine if resubmission of plans and specifications for reconsideration is required.
