and rules – Voluntary calibration program.
A.  The Corporation Commission is hereby authorized and directed
to promulgate such tests, standards, specifications and rules
necessary to carry out the provisions of this act and to ensure that
all measuring devices shall be of the highest degree of accuracy
reasonably consistent with the nature of the substance measured, and
for such purpose the Commission shall have authority to prescribe
such maximum limits of allowable error for such measuring devices as
the Commission deems necessary to prevent fraud resulting from
inaccurate measurement.
B.  The Commission is authorized to promulgate rules as
necessary to establish a voluntary calibration program for tanks and
containers used in this state to transport motor fuel, diesel fuel
or blending material; provided, however, this shall not include the
fuel supply tanks of a motor vehicle.  The Commission is further
authorized to establish a fee not to exceed Fifty Dollars ($50.00)
for the calibration of these tanks and containers.  The fees are to
cover the costs necessary for the enforcement of this act.
C.  Any tank or container calibrated by the manufacturer,
officials of another state, the Tax Commission or the Corporation
Commission shall not be subject to further calibration testing by
the Commission unless the physical shape or size of the tank or
container has been altered by accident or design.  A Certificate of
Measurement shall be issued by the Commission for tanks and
containers which are calibrated by the manufacturer, another state
or the Commission.  Nothing herein shall prohibit the Commission
from ordering the mandatory calibration testing of any tank,
container or metering device which the Commission has good reason to
believe is inaccurate and is being utilized to defraud any person,
firm or corporation.
D.  Fees collected under the provisions of this act shall be
deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Corporation
Commission Revolving Fund.
