Title: Testing, Inspection, and 

Marking Requirements for Cylinders. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0022. 

Summary: Requirements in § 173.301 

for the qualification, maintenance, and 

use of cylinders include periodic 

inspections and retesting to ensure 

continuing compliance with packaging 

standards. Information collection 

requirements address registration of 

retesters and marking of cylinders by 

retesters with their identification 

number and retest date following the 

completion of required tests. The 

cylinder owner or designated agent 

must keep records showing the results 

of inspections and retests until either 

expiration of the retest period or until 

the cylinder is re-inspected or retested, 

whichever occurs first. These 

requirements ensure that retesters have 

the qualifications to perform tests and 

identify to cylinder fillers and users that 

cylinders are qualified for continuing 

use. Information collection 

requirements in § 173.303 require that 

fillers of acetylene cylinders keep, for at 

least 30 days, a daily record of the 

representative pressure to which 

cylinders are filled. The following 

information collections and their 

burdens are associated with this OMB 

Control Number. Note, that these
