Licensees and registered oil transporters shall remit oil transfer fees to the Department on a calendar month basis using a form provided by the Department, or an equivalent form approved by the Department, and shall provide additional documentation related to the amount of oil transferred or transported if requested by the Department. For any month in which no fee is due, the licensee or registered oil transporter shall notify the Department of that fact in writing but need not use the prescribed form.
To avoid a penalty for late payment, a check or money order in the full amount due must be remitted to the Department on or before the last day of the month immediately following the month in which the oil was transferred in the case of a licensee or first transported into the State by road or rail in the case of a registered transporter. The check or money must be made payable to "Treasurer State of Maine" and mailed or delivered to:
DEP-BRWM

NOTE: Monthly, the Department provides licensees and registered oil transporters with a form for use in calculating and remitting oil transfer fees. The form lists the fees currently in effect, including any surcharge imposed by the Clean-up and Response Fund Review Board under chapter 4 of its rules. In adopting chapter 4, the Clean-up and Response Fund Review Board has exercised its authority under 38 M.R.S. §551, sub-§ 4,(F), to adopt a rule that increases the oil transfer fee whenever the balance in the Maine Ground and Surface Waters Clean-up and Response Fund drops to $6 million or less.
