Rule 21-90.16 - Tariffs

Each warehouse operator, at the time of making application for a warehouse operator license, shall file a tariff with the bureau. The tariff shall be on a form prescribed by the bureau and furnished to the applicant upon request. The tariff shall contain rates to be charged for storage, receiving, and loadout of stored products. After being properly numbered and dated by the bureau, the tariff shall be returned to the licensee for posting in a conspicuous location. A copy of the tariff shall be posted in each location where grain is weighed and delivered.

(1)Application of tariff. The tariff rates applicable to stored products shall be those as contained in the tariff on file with the bureau at the time the product is received for storage. The tariff rates shall be applicable on an annual basis from date of deposit. If a tariff is amended, the charges shall be applied in accordance with subrule 90.16(3). Tariff charges shall cease upon cancellation, expiration, or revocation of a warehouse operator license. Tariff charges shall continue in accordance with the rates as filed by the successor warehouse operator In the determination of the applicable rates to be applied under the successor warehouse operator's tariff, the date of deposit under the new tariff shall be the actual date of deposit. No charges shall apply to grain held for less than 30 days and for which no warehouse receipt has been issued unless the warehouse operator has a posted policy which provides for a shorter time period.
(2)Supplemental tariff. The warehouse operator may file with the bureau a supplemental tariff that sets tariff rates for grain meeting special descriptive standards or characteristics. The supplemental tariff shall include the special descriptive standards or characteristics and the rates that will apply to grain meeting those standards or characteristics. The supplemental tariff shall be posted next to the regular warehouse tariff
(3)Amending tariff. The warehouse operator may amend a tariff by filing a new tariff with the bureau, including all supplemental tariffs. The amended tariff shall contain rates as specified by the warehouse operator. The previous tariff shall be posted and continue to apply on all products that are received prior to the effective date of the amended tariff until the anniversary date of deposit unless the new tariff is lower, in which case the amended tariff shall beCorne effective immediately. The amended tariff shall apply to any products received after the effective date of the amendment. The amended tariff shall apply to any products stored under the previous tariff on the anniversary date of the storage period. The effective date of the amended tariff will be the date on which the tariff is received by the bureau or a specified later date.
(4)Documentation of tariff charges. Documents on which storage is billed, including bushels and type of Cornmodity, must contain a reference to each warehouse receipt or storage document. This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 203C.2, 203C.7, 203C.27 and 203C.28.
