Regulation 4 Calculation of fees: general
Save in a case to which paragraph (2) applies, where a fee is payable in respect of a survey or periodical inspection for the issue, renewal, amendment or endorsement of a certificate of any kind, no further fee is payable in respect of the issue, renewal, amendment or endorsement of that certificate.
This paragraph applies to a survey for the issue, renewal, amendment or endorsement of a certificate which is performed abroad by a locally appointed surveyor, as regards which—
if it is carried out for the issue of a certificate pursuant to the Radio Regulations, a fee is chargeable in respect of the work involved at the hourly rate of £36;
if it is carried out for the issue, renewal, amendment or endorsement of a certificate pursuant to any other enactment, a fee is chargeable in respect of the work involved at the hourly rate of £94.
Where a fee is determined by reference to the amount of work involved, whether on or off a ship—
if the work on the service or function in respect of which the fee is payable is carried out in conjunction with a non-statutory survey the fee is to be determined by reference to the time taken to ensure compliance with the requirements in respect of which the fee is payable;
in the case of a fee payable pursuant to the Radio Regulations, where the work is not timed at an exact number of hours, the time by reference to which the fee is determined is to be rounded up to the nearest quarter of an hour.
Where a fee is payable in respect of the issue or endorsement of a certificate, the Agency is not required to issue the certificate or endorsement until that fee has been paid.
In this regulation, “non-statutory survey” means a survey not required by or under the Act (and for which no fee is payable hereunder).
