Section 16a-15-8 - Type, number and display of signs(a) No one shall place on any dispenser any sign, notice, decal or other device that affects the visibility to the public of the required signs and notices listed in this section.(b)Price posting.There shall be a double-faced sign or two reversed single-faced signs on each fixed-location covered product dispenser displayed in a manner that shall be clearly visible to the members of the public from either side of the dispenser. The price of each grade of covered product dispensed from an individual dispenser shall be displayed individually.
(c)Octane posting.(1) Retailers shall post the octane rating for all covered products sold to consumers. Retailers shall do this by putting at least one label on each face of each covered products dispenser through which covered products are sold. If retailers sell two or more kinds of covered products with different octane ratings from a single dispenser, separate labels for each kind of covered product shall be placed on each dispenser face.
(2) The label, or labels, shall be placed conspicuously on the dispenser so as to be in full view of consumers and as near as reasonably practical to the price per gallon of the covered product.(3) The octane rating shall be shown as a whole or half number equal to or less than the octane rating certified on transfer or determined by the retailer.(4) The retailer shall maintain and replace labels as needed so that the consumers can easily see and read them. If the labels the retailer possesses are destroyed or are unusable or unreadable for some unexpected reason, the regulation may be satisfied by posting similar temporary labels. The required label shall be obtained and posted without delay.(5) Certification of the octane rating of the covered product, either by letter or on the delivery ticket or other paper shall be received by the retailer upon transfer of covered product from a common carrier.(d)Gasoline oxygenate blend posting.(1) Retailers shall identify the oxygenate or combination of oxygenates by specific type, if above one percent by volume, for all covered products sold to consumers.(2) Retailers shall display the content label on the front skirt of each dispenser or on the skirts of both sides of each dual dispenser or other dispensing device. For example, the label may read "contains ethanol" or "with MTBE/ETBE." Said label shall be displayed on the upper fifty (50) percent of the dispenser front panel in a location clear and conspicuous from the driver's position, in a type at least 127mm (1/2 in) in height, 15mm (1/16 in) stroke (width of type).(3) The retailer shall be provided, at the time of delivery of the fuel, on an invoice, bill of lading, shipping paper, or other documentation, a declaration of any oxygenate or combination of oxygenates present in concentrations of at least one percent by volume in the fuel. This documentation is only for dispenser labeling purposes; it is the responsibility of any potential blender to determine the total oxygen content of the engine fuel before blending.(e)Required signs.Retailers shall display any other sign or notice that may be required by any other state or federal statute or regulation in a manner prescribed by such state or federal statute or regulation.
