Section IX-105 - Applications

A. Any person, firm, or corporation desiring to enter the liquefied petroleum gas business in the state of Louisiana shall file formal application for a permit or registration with the commission. In the case of Class VI and Class VIII permits, a formal application for a permit shall be filed for each location. All other classes of permits and registrations require only one formal application for the permit or registration. These applications for permits or registrations shall be administratively granted by the office of the director, upon complying with all commission requirements, such as payment of the applicable fees, qualification of personnel, providing proof of insurance and if applicable, final approval of a sketch, registration and safety inspection of tanker trucks. The commission shall ratify the permits or registrations at the first subsequent commission meeting after at least 20 days have elapsed after the permit has been administratively granted by the office of the director. Presence of applicant for the permit or his authorized representative is required at the commission meeting when the application for a permit is ratified for Class I, IV and VI. The applicant's supplier is prohibited from being the authorized representative. Only with special approval of the commission, under extenuating circumstances, will the commission allow the applicant for a permit to be represented by another party other than a principal officer, director, manager, or attorney. The formal application form(s) will be furnished by the commission upon request.

B. No person, firm or corporation engaged in selling of liquefied petroleum gas only in small consumer quantities in U.S. Department of Transportation specification 2Q containers shall be required to obtain a permit as required by R.S. 40:1847. These quantities shall not exceed 1 liter per container.
