The commissioner shall issue a license certificate when the application has been accepted and approved, and all other conditions and requirements of this subdivision have been fully complied with. The license shall be valid only for the transporter in whose name it is issued. The license shall not be assignable and shall remain in full force and effect from the date of issuance through June 30 unless cancelled, suspended, or revoked.

Such reports shall contain sufficient information to identify the quantities delivered, the consignor, the consignee and such additional information as the commissioner may require. A report shall be filed for any month in which no activity occurs. Information required pursuant to this paragraph which has been deemed confidential or as to which a request for confidential treatment is pending shall not be shown to or reviewed by any person other than the employees of the department who have a legitimate need to know the information for the purposes of enforcement of this subdivision, or fuel tax officials of another state as required by RSA 260:56, I, in which case the officials shall be required by the commissioner to agree to a similar limitation on disclosure before such information is furnished.VI.(a) Any person who fails, neglects, or refuses to file the monthly report required by this section shall be assessed a penalty of $500.

The commissioner is authorized to waive any civil penalty and interest when it is proved to the commissioner's satisfaction that the failure to file a monthly report on time or to report all deliveries of petroleum fuel or petroleum products within the time period specified in this section was not wilful.VIII. The commissioner may require transporters to report products other than motor fuel and products subject to the fees in RSA 146-A. In such instance, the commissioner shall notify existing transporters no less than 30 days in advance of imposing such requirement.IX.(a) All distributors licensed under RSA 260:36 who require transport of motor fuel or products subject to the fees stipulated in RSA 146-A shall use a licensed motor fuel and petroleum products transporter.
