(a) Aggregate water capacity of 15,540 gallons or more. The applicant shall notify AFS in writing when the installation is ready for inspection.      
        (1) If any non-compliance items are cited at the time of AFS' initial inspection, the installation shall not be placed in LNG service until the non-compliance items are corrected, as determined at the time of inspection depending on the nature of the non-compliance items cited.       
        (2) If AFS does not physically inspect the facility within 30 calendar days of receipt of notice that the facility is ready for inspection, the facility may operate conditionally until the initial inspection is completed.       
      (b) Aggregate water capacity of less than 15,540 gallons. After receipt of LNG Form 2501, AFS shall conduct an inspection as soon as possible to verify the installation described complies with the rules in this chapter. The facility may be operated prior to inspection if the facility fully complies with the rules in this chapter. If the initial inspection at a commercial installation results in the citation of non-compliance items, AFS may require that the subject container, including any piping, appliances, appurtenances, or equipment connected to it, be immediately removed from LNG service until the non-compliance items are corrected.     
      (c) Material variances. If AFS determines the completed installation varies materially from the application originally accepted, correction of the variance and notification to AFS or resubmission of the application is required. The review of such resubmitted application shall comply with §14.2040 of this title (relating to Filings Required for Stationary LNG Installations).     
      (d) In the event an applicant has requested an inspection and AFS' inspection identifies non-compliance items requiring modifications by the applicant, AFS may assess an inspection fee to cover the costs associated with any additional inspection, including mileage and per diem rates set by the legislature.
