Notice of Public Hearing and Opportunity to Comment on Rules Relating to Content and Inspection of Fuel Oil Printer Tickets
DCA is proposing to amend 6 RCNY § 3-95 to require that all fuel oil vehicle printer tickets contain at least the last six digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for the vehicle making each delivery. This information will allow the consumer to more effectively track each purchase and, if necessary, file a complaint about the delivery with the company selling the fuel oil and with DCA. DCA also proposes adding a new rule, 6 RCNY § 3-103, which would require fuel oil businesses to maintain copies of printer tickets for two years and to produce a ticket to DCA during annual inspection.
