NAC590.061. Gasoline: Adoption by reference of antiknock index for testing octane rating; determination of octane rating number; proof of transfer of fuel.

     1. The State Board of Agriculture hereby adopts by reference the antiknock index for testing the octane rating of gasoline that is defined in ASTM D4814, “Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel,” adopted by reference pursuant to NAC 590.065.

     2. Gasoline that is brought into this State for delivery to a person in this State must have an octane rating number which is determined by the antiknock index method described in subsection 1.

     3. A person who transfers fuel to a person in this State, other than the consumer of the fuel, shall provide a proof of transfer to the person receiving the fuel. The proof of transfer must be:

     (a) A delivery ticket;

     (b) An invoice;

     (c) A bill of lading;

     (d) A bill of sale;

     (e) A terminal ticket; or

     (f) Any other proof of transfer that is approved by the State Board of Agriculture.

     4. The proof of transfer must contain:

     (a) The name of the person making the transfer;

     (b) The name of the person to whom the fuel is transferred;

     (c) The date of the transfer; and

     (d) If the fuel is gasoline, the octane rating number of the gasoline.

     5. The person receiving the fuel must keep a copy of the proof of transfer at the location at which the fuel was received for not less than 30 days after the date of the delivery of the fuel. After that period, the proof of transfer must be retained at any location for not less than 1 year after the date of the delivery of the fuel and be made available to the State Department of Agriculture upon request.

     6. Any other test method may be used if the State Sealer of Consumer Equitability determines that another method produces results equivalent to the results of the specified method. A method approved by ASTM International that has not yet been published shall be deemed to meet the appropriate criteria.
