173.34(e), and it did not hold pamphlets

published by the Compressed Gas

Association and incorporated by

reference in the HMR that apply to its

operations.

The current owner stated that he had

assumed control of FESS during 1995.

Because there has not been an

inspection by an independent

inspection agency since that date and

FESS failed to renew its RIN when it

expired, the matters discovered during

RSPA’s recent inspection raise

questions as to the condition of any

cylinder marked by FESS with a test

date/year of ‘‘95’’ or later. These

cylinders are marked with FESS’s RIN

number B404, bracketed by the month

and year of the purported reinspection

and retest date, in the following pattern:

B 4

Month Year

4 0

Any person holding a compressed gas

cylinder that is marked as having been

last inspected and retested by FESS

since 1995 should not charge or fill the

cylinder without first having it

inspected and retested by a cylinder

requalification facility holding a

currently effective RIN. Any filled

cylinder that is marked as having been

last inspected and retested by FESS

since 1995 should be properly and

safely evacuated and purged (a cylinder

filled with an atmospheric gas may be

vented), and taken to a DOT-authorized

cylinder retest facility for visual

reinspection and hydrostatic retest to

determine if it qualifies for continued

use in accordance with the HMR. Under

no circumstances should a cylinder

described in this safety advisory be

filled, refilled or used for any purpose

other than scrap until it is reinspected

and retested by a DOT-authorized retest

facility.

Cylinder requalification facilities

holding a currently effective RIN are

listed on the internet web site of RSPA’s

Office of Hazardous Materials Safety, at

‘‘http://hazmat.dot.gov/files/approvals/

hydro/hydro_retesters.htm’’.

Persons finding or possessing

cylinders described in this safety notice

may contact Ms. Guadalupe Castellanos

for additional information.

Issued in Washington, D.C. on January 11,
