DOT/NHTSA RIN: 2127-AH72 Publication ID: Fall 2000 
Title: Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Container Integrity 
Abstract: A final rule published on December 3, 1998 (63 FR 66762, RIN 2127-AF51) deleted the material and manufacturing process requirements for compressed natural gas fuel containers. As part of that final rule, the agency amended the provisions relating to the hydrostatic burst test to remove any reference to the deleted requirements. Those amendments also inadvertently amended the hydrostatic burst test requirement to require the stress ratio to be applied as a pressure ratio. The agency corrects that error and thereby moots requests related to that amendment in several petitions for reconsideration of the 1998 final rule.
