    Container Ownership and Handling Compliance

    Container Ownership and Handling Compliance

    Container ownership and handling must comply with Mississippi liquefied petroleum gas safety requirements. Dealers and installers must follow the ownership, identification, permission, notification, and exception requirements below.

    Container ownership and identification

    • Each dealer must mark, label, or otherwise designate liquefied petroleum gas containers so they can be easily identified as owned by that particular dealer.
    • A dealer may not sell, install, fill, refill, deliver, permit to be delivered, or otherwise use an ASME liquefied petroleum gas container unless the container is owned by the dealer or its use is authorized by the container owner.

    Handling another dealer's container

    • A liquefied petroleum gas dealer or installer, including its agents and employees, may not dismantle, disconnect, evacuate, repair, deface, fill, or refill a container belonging to another dealer unless at least one authorized exception applies.

    OpenPayer is powered by Trek Health's payer performance platform. Trek continuously ingests, validates, and normalizes Transparency in Coverage data alongside payer policies and other commercial payer data to create a structured payer intelligence foundation. OpenPayer uses this foundation to deliver personalized search results, dynamically generated policy pages, and tailored policy monitoring based on each user's payers, specialties, billing codes, and areas of interest. The same intelligence powers broader payer performance workflows, including reimbursement benchmarking, contract evaluation, payer negotiations, and financial decision-making.

  1. At least ONE of the following exceptions must apply

    • Prior written permission has been granted by the dealer that owns the container.
    • Prior written permission has been granted by the owner or lessee of the premises where the container is located.

      The premises owner or lessee may not grant permission to fill or refill the container.

    • The action is taken at the discretion of the authority having jurisdiction as defined in NFPA Pamphlet 58.
    • The action is taken under a declared state of emergency.
  2. Written notification must be provided to the dealer that owns the container before any action that breaks into or modifies the liquefied compressed gas system.

    This notification requirement applies in addition to the applicable permission or other exception requirements.

    3. A consumer retains the right to terminate a container rental contract with the dealer or owner in accordance with the terms and provisions of the rental contract.
    Failure of a liquefied petroleum gas dealer or installer to comply with these requirements is a violation of the Liquefied Compressed Gas Equipment Inspection Law of Mississippi.

    Noncompliance may result in a monetary penalty and/or revocation of the dealer's liquefied compressed gas permit.

    Required Dealer and Installer Actions

    Documentation Required

    Identify Container Ownership

    Mark, label, or otherwise designate each liquefied petroleum gas container so the owning dealer is readily identifiable.

    Denial Risk

    Use Only Owned or Authorized Containers

    A dealer may sell, install, fill, refill, deliver, permit delivery of, or otherwise use an ASME liquefied petroleum gas container only when the dealer owns it or its use is authorized by the container owner.

    • Do not handle or use a container that is neither owned by the dealer nor authorized by its owner.
    Prior Authorization

    Obtain Authorization Before Handling Another Dealer’s Container

    A liquefied petroleum gas dealer or installer, including agents and employees, must obtain authorization before handling a container belonging to another dealer. Prior written permission from the owning dealer is required before dismantling, disconnecting, evacuating, repairing, defacing, filling, or refilling the container.

    • Exceptions apply when the action is taken at the discretion of the authority having jurisdiction under NFPA Pamphlet 58 or under a declared state of emergency.
    Documentation Required

    Document Permissions and Required Notice

    Before handling another dealer’s container, obtain prior written permission from both the dealer that owns the container and the owner or lessee of the premises where it is located. The premises owner or lessee may not authorize filling or refilling, and written notice to the owning dealer is required before any action that breaks into or modifies the liquefied compressed gas system.

    • Document the required permissions and notice before performing the work.
    Note

    Preserve Consumer Contract Termination Rights

    These requirements do not abrogate a consumer’s right to terminate a container rental contract with the dealer or owner in accordance with the contract’s terms and provisions.
