16 Tex. Admin. Code § 9.103 - Objections to Proposed Stationary LP-Gas Installations

(a) Each owner of real property receiving notice of a proposed installation pursuant to § 9.102(a) of this title (relating to Notice of Stationary LP-Gas Installations) shall have 18 calendar days from the date the notice is postmarked to file a written objection with AFS using the LPG Form 500A sent to them by the applicant. An objection is considered timely filed when it is actually received by the Commission.

(b) AFS shall review all objections within 10 business days of receipt. An objection shall be in writing and shall include a statement of facts showing that the proposed installation:

(1) does not comply with the rules in this chapter, specifying which rules are violated;

(2) does not comply with the statutes of the State of Texas, specifying which statutes are violated; or

(3) constitutes a danger to the public health, safety, and welfare, specifying the exact nature of the danger. For purposes of this section, "danger" means an imminent threat or an unreasonable risk of bodily harm, but does not mean diminished property or esthetic values in the area.

(c) Upon review of the objection, AFS shall:

(1) request a public hearing as specified in § 9.107 of this title (relating to Hearings on Stationary LP-Gas Installations); or

(2) notify the objecting party in writing within 10 business days of receipt requesting further information for clarification and stating why the objection is not valid. The objecting entity shall have 10 calendar days from the postmark of AFS' letter to file its corrected objection. Clarification of incomplete or nonsubstantive objections shall be limited to two opportunities. If new objections are raised in the objecting party's clarification, the new objections shall be limited to one notice of correction.
