First link gives definition, states its unlawful to endanger life/property, that the ACT is in conformity with standards/rules of NFPA and sets penalties.
Second link is dealing with propane vendors and their requirements to own, operate, filling of LP containers.
DOT Cylinders (20, 30, 40 pound cylinders---trailers) do have a 12 year requirement

NFPA 58.......Chapter 69 LP Gas Equipment & Appliances LINK
