What is the purpose of CNG Form 1004?

The purpose of CNG Form 1004 is to authorize operation of a CNG transport unit. This form is critical as it ensures that a specific transport unit is properly permitted and recognized for the safe and compliant movement of compressed natural gas. It signifies that the unit has met the necessary requirements, adhering to regulations that govern the transport of CNG.

The authorization aspect is particularly important since transporting CNG involves adherence to safety protocols and operational guidelines to protect the driver, the public, and the environment. By completing Form 1004, operators confirm that they have the necessary approvals and that the unit is equipped to handle CNG according to industry standards.

While other forms may deal with aspects such as registration of a new delivery unit or updating details, these tasks do not directly correlate with authorization for operation, which is the primary focus of Form 1004.
