There is a federal department for this, but right now the name doesn't come to me.

You would report it to your states division of weight and scales. If you don't have the number, your highway patrol office can give it to you. The state does calibrations on the pumps quarterly in most states, monthly in others--that is they personally come out with a container and pump to verify it is correct. The fine is quite heafty if it is not correct.
