NY Transp L § 116 (2021)
2021 New York Laws TRA - Transportation Article 5 - The Powers of the Commissioner in Respect to Common Carriers 116 - Reports of Common Carriers.

§ 116. Reports  of common carriers. Every common carrier shall file an   annual report  with  the  commissioner  verified  by  the  oath  of  the   president,  vice-president,  treasurer,  secretary,  general  manager or   receiver, if any, of such carrier or by the person required to file  the   same.  The verification shall be made by said official holding office at   the time of the filing of the said report, and  if  not  made  upon  the   knowledge  of  the person verifying the same shall set forth the sources   of his information and the grounds of his belief as to any  matters  not   stated  to  be  verified  upon  his  knowledge.   The commissioner shall   prescribe the form of such reports and the character of the  information   to be contained therein, and may from time to time make such changes and   such  additions  in  regard  to form and contents thereof as he may deem   proper, and on or before June thirtieth in each  year  shall  furnish  a   blank form for such annual reports to every such carrier and person. The   contents  of  such report and the form thereof shall conform in the case   of railroad companies as nearly as may be to  that  required  of  common   carriers  under  the provisions of the act of congress, entitled "An act   to regulate commerce," approved February fourth,  eighteen  hundred  and   eighty-seven, and the acts amendatory thereof and supplementary thereto.   The  commissioner  may  require  such  report  to contain information in   relation  to  rates  or  regulations  concerning  fares   or   freights,   agreements  or  contracts  affecting  the  same, so far as such rates or   regulations pertain to transportation within the state. When the  report   of any such carrier or person is defective, or believed to be erroneous,   the  commissioner  shall  notify the carrier or person to amend the same   within a time prescribed by  the  commissioner.  The  originals  of  the   reports,  subscribed  and  sworn  to  as  prescribed  by  law,  shall be   preserved in the office of the commissioner.  The commissioner may  also   require  such carriers and persons to file periodic reports in the form,   covering the period and at the time prescribed by the commissioner.  The   commissioner  may require of any such carrier or person specific answers   to questions upon which  the  commissioner  may  need  information.  The   annual report required to be filed by a common carrier shall be so filed   at  the time prescribed by the commissioner or within such extended time   as the commissioner shall allow. If such carrier or person shall fail to   make and file the annual report  within  the  time  above  specified  or   within  the time as extended by the commissioner, or shall fail to amend   such report within such reasonable time as  may  be  prescribed  by  the   commissioner,  or shall fail to make specific answer to any question, or   shall  fail  to  make  the  periodic  reports  when  required   by   the   commissioner  as  herein  provided,  within  the  time  and  in the form   prescribed by the commissioner for the making and  filing  of  any  such   report  or answer, such carrier or person shall forfeit to the state the   sum of one hundred dollars for each and every day it shall  continue  to   be  in  default with respect to such annual report, amendment, answer or   periodic report. Such forfeiture shall be recovered in an action brought   by the commissioner in the name of the people of the state of New  York.   The  amount  recovered  in  any such action shall be paid into the state   treasury and credited to the general fund.
