(a) In addition to NFPA 52 §13.3.16 and NFPA 59A §13.3.15, LNG shall not be introduced into any ASME container unless the container is equipped with an original nameplate or at least one of the following nameplates permanently attached to the container.
  (1) A duplicate nameplate is an additional ASME container nameplate issued by the original manufacturer with duplicate information as the original nameplate and clearly marked as a duplicate nameplate, but installed in a remote location.
  (2) A modification (or alteration) nameplate is a nameplate issued and affixed by an ASME Code facility including only partial information applicable to a modification or alteration performed on that container.
  (3) A replacement nameplate is a nameplate including the identical information as the original nameplate and identified as a replacement nameplate, but issued and affixed by the original manufacturer or its successor company or companies when the original nameplate is lost or illegible.
(b) AFS may remove a container from LNG service or require ASME acceptance of a container at any time if AFS determines that the nameplate, in any form defined in subsection (a) of this section, is loose, unreadable, or detached, or if it appears to be tampered with or damaged in any way and does not contain at a minimum the items defined by NFPA as applicable.
