             Subpart D_Collection Procedures and Duty to Pay

 

Sec. 245.301  Collection procedures.





    (a) After March 15th of each year (August 15th for the fiscal year 

ending September 30, 1992), FRA will publish in the Federal Register a 

notice containing FRA's preliminary estimates of the total user fee to 

be collected, the assessment rate per train mile, the assessment rate 

per employee hour, and the assessment rate per road mile (as adjusted by 

the sliding scale). The information published by FRA will be sufficient 

to enable each railroad to calculate its estimated user fee bill for the 

fiscal year on the basis of the train mile, employee hour, and road mile 

information provided by the railroad to FRA.

    (b) After June 1st of each year, (August 15th for the fiscal year 

ending September 30, 1992), FRA will provide to each covered railroad a 

notice (the ``Assessment Notice'') containing FRA's final calculations 

of the total user fee to be collected, the assessment rate per train 

mile, the assessment rate per employee hour, the assessment rate per 

road mile (as adjusted by the sliding scale), the train miles, employee 

hours, and road miles for the railroad for the prior calendar year, the 

user fee to be paid by the railroad, and a statement and payment record 

form. FRA will mail the Assessment Notice sufficiently in advance of the 

end of the fiscal year in order to allow all collections to be completed 

prior to the end of the fiscal year. FRA will mail the Assessment Notice 

to the billing address designated by the railroad on FRA Form 6180.91--

Annual Report of Railroads Subject to User Fees.
