Bill overview
The Compressed Gas Cylinder Safety and Oversight Improvements Act of 2023 aims to strengthen the safety and oversight of foreign manufacturers of compressed gas cylinders used in the United States. The bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish stricter regulations for approving these manufacturers, including detailed questions about their past compliance and potential penalties. It also allows for increased scrutiny through annual inspections, the ability to request testing records, and the recovery of inspection costs, with the potential for longer approval periods under specific circumstances.
