SECTION 1: Florida Laws & Administration
Q1: Under Florida Statutes Chapter 527, which agency is the
primary authority for licensing LP-gas bulk-plant operators?
A. Florida Department of Environmental Protection
B. Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services (FDACS)
C. State Fire Marshal
D. Florida Building Commission
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fla. Stat. § 527.01(4) expressly designates FDACS
as the “department” with sole authority to license, inspect, and
enforce all LP-gas rules. DEP (A) regulates air & water, not fuel
safety. Fire Marshal (C) assists with fire-code enforcement but
cannot issue LP licenses. Building Commission (D) adopts
construction codes; LP licensing is outside its scope.

Q2: A company wants to add a 30,000-gallon bulk storage
facility in Polk County. Which Florida permit must be obtained
BEFORE construction begins?
A. General construction permit from the county building
department only
B. LP-gas specialty permit from FDACS per Rule 5C-5.302,
F.A.C.
C. Underground storage tank registration only
D. Fire-department pre-incident plan approval only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rule 5C-5.302, F.A.C. requires an FDACS “LP Gas
Plant Facility Permit” prior to constructing or modifying any
bulk plant >2,000 gal aggregate. The rule triggers engineering
plan review & inspection. A county building permit (A) is also
required, but the LP specialty permit is the LP-specific pre-
construction trigger. UST registration (C) is for environmental
tanks; fire pre-plan (D) is post-permit.
Q3: A Master qualifier’s license expires December 31, 2026.
What is the latest date the qualifier may renew without
retesting?
A. December 31, 2026
B. January 31, 2027
C. March 31, 2027 (90-day grace period)
D. June 30, 2027

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rule 5C-5.205(4), F.A.C. grants a 90-day grace
period after expiration during which renewal fees plus late fee
may be paid; testing is not required. After March 31, 2027 the
license is null and the applicant must re-apply and re-test.
Q4: Which LP-gas licensee tier is authorized to supervise the
installation of a 4,000-gallon ASME container at an industrial
facility?
A. Category V (dispenser)
B. Category IV (bottle/small cylinder)
C. Category I (bulk plant & industrial)
D. Category II (motor fuel only)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rule 5C-5.203, F.A.C. assigns Category I licenses
“to engage in the business of installing, servicing, repairing, or
modifying LP-gas systems including bulk plants and industrial
systems.” Containers >2,000 gal fall under Category I scope;
other categories are limited to smaller or specialized systems.
Q5: FDACS performs an unannounced inspection and finds an
uncorrected Class I leak. Within how many hours must the
Master qualifier submit written corrective-action
documentation?
A. 4 hours
P a g e 3 | 36
, 4
B. 8 hours
C. 24 hours
D. 48 hours
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rule 5C-5.510(3), F.A.C. requires the qualifier to
“submit a written report describing corrective action taken
within 24 hours after notification of non-compliance.” 4 h & 8 h
are emergency response times, not documentation deadlines.
Q6: A bulk-plant operator wants to temporarily relocate a
12,000-gallon transport during peak season. Which statement is
TRUE?
A. Relocations <30 days are exempt from notification.
B. Written notification to FDACS is required before
relocation per Rule 5C-5.305.
C. County zoning approval alone is sufficient.
D. No state paperwork if NFPA 58 spacing is met.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rule 5C-5.305 mandates 48-hour advance written
notice to FDACS for any relocation of bulk equipment >2,000
gal, even temporary. Exemptions in (A) and (D) do not exist;
county zoning (C) is separate from state LP safety oversight.
Q7: Florida Statute 527.06 imposes a civil penalty for operating
without a license. What is the maximum daily fine per violation?
