§814.  Administration; rules and regulations; costs of administration; disposition of monies collected

A.  The administration of this Part shall be by the secretary of the Department of Revenue who shall have authority to adopt and enforce rules and regulations not inconsistent with this Part of this Chapter 7 necessary and convenient for the enforcement of the provisions of this Part and collection of the taxes, penalties, and interest in this Part provided.

B.  In the case of farmers who operate trucks licensed for farm use, which trucks use undyed special fuels other than liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas for their operation, the secretary shall, when requested, reach an agreement with such farmers wherein the amount of fuel used in each truck shall be determined by an estimate and the tax paid each month on the basis of said estimate.  In no case is the secretary authorized to estimate the number of gallons used by any farmer at less than seventy-five gallons per month per vehicle.  This provision applies only to farmers operating vehicles and equipment on the same special fuels except liquefied petroleum gas and compressed natural gas for both taxable and nontaxable purposes, and in such case the farmer shall be relieved of the necessity of compliance with the provisions of R.S. 47:804, 806, and 812(A)(4) in reference to such use.
