5 (1) Inspect the automotive fuel in storage tanks and
6 take samples from such tanks and the dispensing system
7 connected to the storage tanks. The retailer or distributor
8 may request a second sample to be taken by the inspector at
9 the same time the initial sample is drawn. All costs of the
10 second sample shall be paid by the retailer or distributor,
11 as the case may be, making the request. If the request for a
12 second sample is made by the retailer in accordance with
13 procedures established through an agreement with the

29 The department shall limit such inspections, auditing and
30 copying to information and data relating to product quantity,
20070H0684B2165 - 10 -
1 quality, oxygen content, octane, source and other information as
2 may be reasonably requested.
3 (c) Remedies.--Whenever the department determines that an
4 automotive fuel sample does not conform with the standards set
5 forth in section 4 or that a label displayed on a dispensing
6 system, storage tank or other dispensing device does not conform
7 with the requirements of section 5, the department may initiate
8 any or all of the following actions to prohibit sale of the
9 nonconforming automotive fuel or to prohibit the use of the
10 nonconforming dispensing system, storage tank or other
11 dispensing device:
12 (1) Reject and mark as rejected the dispensing system,
13 storage tank or other dispensing device from which the sample
14 was obtained or on which the nonconforming label is attached.
15 (2) Seal and mark as sealed the storage tanks from which
16 the sample was drawn or the nonconforming label attached.
17 (3) Initiate criminal proceedings under section 7(d).
18 (4) Issue a citation.

21 automotive fuel must be blended with another automotive fuel
22 to bring it into compliance, provided that the product does
23 not endanger public health or safety or adversely affect the
24 emissions characteristics of the motor vehicles in which it
25 is used.
26 (7) Issue a written warning directing the retailer or
27 distributor to correct the nonconforming label.
28 (d) Stop sale notice.--The department shall have the

1 dispensing device from which automotive fuel is sold or offered
2 or exposed for sale in violation of the provisions of this act
3 and to issue a stop sale notice to the retailer or distributor,
4 if the department has reason to believe the retailer or
5 distributor willfully or intentionally violated this act or the
6 regulations promulgated in accordance with this act. Any
7 automotive fuel subject to a stop sale notice shall not be sold
8 or exposed or offered for sale or transported unless the
9 retailer or distributor has received approval from the
10 department. Automotive fuel which has been seized and sealed by
11 the department for violation of section 4 or 5 shall not be
12 offered or exposed for sale until the department has been fully
13 satisfied that the automotive fuel has been blended or refined
14 or properly labeled to meet the requirements of this act, and
15 the retailer or distributor has been notified of the
16 department's decision to permit the sale or relabeling of the
17 fuel.
18 (e) Posting of stop sale notice.--The department shall cause
19 to be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises where a
20 dispensing system, storage tank or other dispensing device has
21 been sealed a notice stating that sealing has taken place and

23 destroy the seal or to remove the contents of the dispensing
24 system, storage tank or other dispensing device without the
25 approval of the department.
26 (f) Notice required to remove seal.--Any retailer,
27 distributor or producer who owns an automotive fuel dispensing
28 system, storage tank or other dispensing device which has been
29 sealed by the department shall obtain the approval of the
30 department before the fuel is removed or a proper label
20070H0684B2165 - 12 -
1 attached. A written notice of any corrective action taken shall
2 be submitted to the department within three working days. The
3 department may reinspect the automotive fuel dispensing system,
4 storage tank or other dispensing device to determine compliance.
5 The retailer, distributor, producer or refiner who owns the
6 system or device which has been sealed shall provide
7 documentation of the corrective action taken, including any
8 applicable shipping papers or bills of lading showing the
9 disposal or final disposition of the automotive fuel and such
10 other information necessary to permit the department to audit
11 and confirm that the corrective action was as previously
12 approved by the department. A retailer, distributor, producer or
13 refiner shall not remove a seal except when given specific
14 approval by the department.
15 Section 7. Violations and penalties.
16 (a) Retail violations.--The department may assess a civil

1 refiner or who sells or offers or exposes for sale automotive
2 fuel which does not meet the requirements of section 4.
3 (c) Knowledge of deceptive practice.--In addition to any
4 civil penalty imposed for violations of subsection (a) or (b),
5 the department may assess a distributor, producer, refiner or
6 retailer with an additional civil penalty equal to the
7 difference between the price per gallon charged to the consumer
8 for the automotive fuel in question and the price per gallon
9 charged to the consumer for the lowest octane grade at the
10 retail dispensing facility at the time of the violation,
11 multiplied by the capacity of the storage tank from which the
12 product in question was dispensed, if the distributor, producer,
13 refiner or retailer violates any provisions of this act or any
14 regulations promulgated pursuant to this act with actual
15 knowledge that the act or practice underlying the violation is
16 unfair or deceptive.
17 (d) Repeat violations.--In addition to any civil penalty

28 system, storage tank or other dispensing device used to deliver
29 or store automotive fuel, or who removes automotive fuel from a
30 dispensing system, storage tank or other dispensing device which

5 opportunity for hearing in accordance with 2 Pa.C.S. (relating
6 to administrative law and procedure).
7 (g) Innocent sellers exemption.--The department shall not
8 impose a civil penalty for a violation of subsection (a)
9 regarding labeling if the retailer labeled the dispensing
10 system, storage tank or other dispensing device in reasonable
11 reliance on documentation provided by the distributor, producer
12 or refiner certifying the standards for automotive fuel rating.
13 (h) Private action by retailer.--Whenever a retailer
14 unknowingly and without deception sells or offers or exposes for
15 sale automotive fuel which does not conform with the provisions
16 of this act, the distributor, producer, oxygenate blender or
17 refiner, as the case may be, of the nonconforming automotive
18 fuel shall be liable in damages to the retailer for any
19 ascertainable loss of money or property.
