LHG facilities are considered new after which date?

• A. June 2, 1988
• B. January 30, 1996
• C. January 30, 1990
• D. June 2, 1996

Answer: (B)

The question tests how the regulatory status of an LHG (Liquefied Hazardous Gas) facility is determined for safety and inspection standards. The cutoff date defines what counts as a “new” facility. After January 30, 1996, an LHG facility is considered new, so it must meet the newer design, construction, and safety requirements specified in the regulations. Facilities built before that date are treated as existing facilities and may follow older provisions or transitional rules unless they undergo major changes that bring them under the newer regime. That makes January 30, 1996 the key date because it marks the regulatory boundary between new and existing LHG facilities.
