Or. Admin. R. 856-010-0006 - Board Operations Fee
(1)
The Board operations fee shall be $50 effective July 15, 2013. Thereafter, the
fee shall be reviewed quarterly and adjusted as needed as provided in
subsection (2) of this section, subject to the maximum allowed by ORS
776.810(1).
(2) The amount of the Board operations fee
shall be reviewed quarterly, at the first Board meeting following each
September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30. In reviewing the fee and
deciding whether to adjust it, the Board shall consider the total of fees
remitted to the Board during the preceding quarter or quarters, the Board's
current and projected budgetary needs, the total of fees projected to be
remitted to the Board during the following quarter or quarters, and any other
factors deemed relevant by the Board. If the Board concludes that an adjustment
to the fee is appropriate, it shall request approval for the recommended
adjustment subject to ORS
776.800(4).
(3) The maximum allowed amount shall be
adjusted each biennium on July 1, beginning July 1, 2015. The change in the
maximum allowed amount shall be proportional to the percentage change in the
24-month period prior to the beginning of the biennium in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers West Region (All Items), as published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.
(4) The amount of the Board operations fee
shall be published in the Oregon Pilotage Tariff for each pilotage ground under
the paragraph heading "Board Operations Fee."
(5) Licensees of the Board shall invoice
vessels for the Board operations fee when invoicing vessels for other
authorized pilotage fees and charges. For vessels entering or leaving the
Columbia River, Board licensees for the Columbia River Bar shall invoice and
collect fees from inbound vessels, and licensees for the Columbia and
Willamette River pilotage ground shall invoice and collect the fee from
outbound vessels. For vessels entering or leaving the Yaquina Bay bar or Coos
Bay bar pilotage grounds, the Board operations fee shall be invoiced and
collected by the licensees for such grounds from both inbound and outbound
vessels.
(6) On or before the 10th
day of each month, Board licensees shall remit to the Board the full amount of
all Board operations fees collected from vessels during the preceding calendar
month. At the time of remitting the collected fees to the Board, the remission
shall be accompanied by a report of the number of vessels invoiced for the fee
during the preceding month, the total amount of fees invoiced, the number of
vessels from which the fee was collected during the preceding month, the total
of Board operations fees collected, and the amount that remains invoiced but
uncollected.
