#### 32 Offshore project proposals
(1) For subsection 685(1) of the Act, a fee is payable to NOPSEMA for the consideration of an offshore project proposal in accordance with Part 1A.
(2) The fee is the total amount of the expenses incurred by NOPSEMA in considering the proposal.
(3) However, NOPSEMA may remit the whole or a part of an amount of the fee if NOPSEMA considers that there are good reasons for doing so.
(4) The fee is:
(a) due when NOPSEMA issues an invoice for the fee to the person who submitted the proposal; and
(b) payable in accordance with the requirements of the invoice.
> Note 1: Consideration of an offshore project proposal would ordinarily end with a decision by the Regulator whether to accept the proposal. However, the process may terminate before that point (for example, if the proposal is withdrawn): the fee will represent the Regulator’s expenses in considering the proposal to whatever point is reached.
> Note 2: It is expected that the Regulator and the person who submitted the offshore project proposal will agree on the terms of payment of the fee. The invoice will state the terms, whether or not there is an agreement.
