sch.6-sec.8 Pipelines
The safety and health fee payable by the operator (the relevant pipeline operator ) of a pipeline under a pipeline licence, a distribution pipeline that is not part of a distribution system or a GHG stream pipeline (each a relevant pipeline ) is 0.0004020 fee units for each pipeline index for the pipeline. The pipeline index for a pipeline means the amount calculated using the formula— where— L means the length in kilometres of the pipeline. D means the outside diameter in millimetres of the pipeline. However, if the amount of the safety and health fees calculated under subsection (1) for all operators of relevant pipelines during the year is more than the total of the costs estimates for the categories of liable person mentioned in section 155 (2) (i) , (j) and (k) for the year, the fee payable by the relevant pipeline operator is the amount worked out using the formula— where— C means the total of the costs estimates. P means the total of the pipeline indexes for all relevant pipelines operated by the relevant pipeline operator during the year. T means the total of the pipeline indexes for all relevant pipelines operated by all operators during the year. sch 6 pt 3 s 8 amd 2019 SL No. 80 s 56 ; 2020 SL No. 107 s 43 ; 2021 SL No. 75 s 36 ; 2022 SL No. 68 s 18 (sch.6-sec.8-ssec.1) The safety and health fee payable by the operator (the relevant pipeline operator ) of a pipeline under a pipeline licence, a distribution pipeline that is not part of a distribution system or a GHG stream pipeline (each a relevant pipeline ) is 0.0004020 fee units for each pipeline index for the pipeline.
