Alabama Administrative Code › Title 80 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES › WEIGHTS AND MEASURES › Chapter 80-13-1 - RULES GOVERNING WEIGHTS, MEASURES, LABELING AND PACKAGING › Section 80-13-1-.13 - Allowed Variations

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
(1)
				Variations from the declared net weight, measure, or count shall be permitted
				when caused by unavoidable deviations in weighing, measuring, or counting the
				contents of individual packages that occur in good packaging practice, but such
				variations shall not be permitted to such extent that the average of the
				quantities in the packages of a particular commodity, or a lot of the
				commodity, that is kept, offered, or exposed for sale, or sold, is below the
				quantity stated, and no unreasonable shortage in any package shall be
				permitted, even though overages in other packages in the same shipment,
				delivery, or lot compensate for such shortage. Variations above the declared
				quantity shall not be unreasonably large.
(2) Variations from the declared weight or
				measure shall be permitted when caused by ordinary and customary exposure to
				conditions that normally occur in good distribution practice and that
				unavoidably result in change of weight or measure, but only after the commodity
				is introduced into intrastate commerce, provided that the phrase "introduced
				into intrastate commerce" as used above shall be construed to define the time
				and the place at which the first sale and delivery of a package is made within
				this jurisdiction,the delivery being either,
(a) Directly to the purchaser or to his
				agent,
(b) To a common carrier for
				shipment to the purchaser, and that paragraph shall be construed as requiring
				that, so long as a shipment, delivery, or lot of packages of a particular
				commodity remains in the possession or under the control of the packager or the
				person who introduces the package into intrastate commerce, exposure variations
				shall not be permitted.

The purpose of this chapter is to insure to the buying public
				  that in buying gasoline and other liquid motor vehicle fuels, a system of
				  pricing said fuels shall be available that is fully understood by said buying
				  public.

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
Any regulation previously promulgated by the undersigned
				  authority that is in conflict with this regulation is hereby
				  repealed.
Alabama Administrative Code › Title 80 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES › WEIGHTS AND MEASURES › Chapter 80-13-2 - RULES FOR SELLING AND PRICING OF GASOLINE › Section 80-13-2-.03 - Posting Of Price Per Gallon Required

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
All retail sellers of gasoline or other liquid motor vehicle
				  fuels, who are presently, or who may in the future, sell their product by liter
				  or any other system, other than by the gallon, shall, in addition to posting
				  the price of the fuel in liter or other measure, post the price of said fuel by
				  the gallon or fraction thereof.
(a)
				Said requirement is further defined as follows:
1. The price per gallon shall appear on all
				pumps dispensing the fuel, in letters or numbers the same, or larger size as
				the price per liter or other standard of measure.
2. The price per gallon shall appear at all
				other places, at the retail selling establishment, where the price per liter or
				other standard of measure is posted. Said price per gallon shall appear, in
				letters or numbers, the same size or larger than the posted price of any other
				measure.
3. It is the intent of
				this chapter to require the price per gallon to appear adjacent to or alongside
				of the posted price per liter so that the buying public can, with no
				difficulty, be able to compare the price per liter, or other standard of
				measure, with its corresponding price per gallon.
Deviations from the above requirement shall only be allowed
				  as provided in Rule no.
				  80-13-2-.04 below.
4. The price per
				gallon, corresponding to the liter price, required to be posted above, need
				only be shown to the nearest one cent. A fraction of one cent is allowed if the
				retailer so desires.

Alabama Administrative Code › Title 80 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES › WEIGHTS AND MEASURES › Chapter 80-13-2 - RULES FOR SELLING AND PRICING OF GASOLINE › Section 80-13-2-.04 - Allowed Deviations And Exceptions

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 9, June 28, 2024
The requirements under Rule No.
				  80-13-2-.03(3) above, requiring the posted price per liter and corresponding price per gallon
				  to be posted alongside or adjacent to each other may, at times, be
				  impracticable or work an undue hardship upon the retail seller. In these cases
				  a reasonable deviation from this requirement is authorized. A determination of
				  whether adjacent posting of prices per gallon or liter is impracticable or
				  works an undue hardship on the retail seller, is wholly vested in
				  representatives of the State Department of Agriculture and Industries and their
				  decision shall be final. Also what is a reasonable deviation from the above
				  requirement shall be determined by said Agriculture and Industries Department
				  representatives. Any type of comparative price posting allowing the public to,
				  with no difficulty, compare the liter price with its corresponding gallon
				  price, is deemed to be an allowed reasonable deviation from the requirement of
				  adjacent price posting.
