57 Offshore project proposals
(1) For the purposes of subsection 685(1) of the Act, a fee is payable to NOPSEMA by a person who submits an offshore project proposal for the consideration of the offshore project proposal in accordance with Part 2 of this instrument.
(2) The fee is the total amount of the expenses incurred by NOPSEMA in considering the proposal.
Note: Consideration of an offshore project proposal would ordinarily end with a decision whether to accept the proposal. However, the process may end before that point (for example, if the proposal is withdrawn). In such a case, the fee will represent the expenses in considering the proposal to whatever point is reached.
(3) The fee is due and payable in accordance with the terms of the invoice for the fee.
Note: It is expected that NOPSEMA 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.
