Sec.  118.5  Procedures for changes to a fee schedule.



    Whenever a CES operator intends to increase, add to or otherwise 

change the service fees set forth in the fee schedule referred to in 

Sec.  118.4(c) of this part, the operator shall provide 90 calendar days 

advance written notice to the port director of such proposed fee 

schedule change and shall include in the notice a justification for any 

increased or additional fee. Following receipt of this written notice, 

the port director will advise the public of the proposed fee schedule 

change and invite comments thereon under the public notice and comment 

procedures set forth in Sec.  118.2 of this part. After a review of the 

proposed fee schedule change and any public comments thereon, and based 

on the principle of comparability set forth in Sec.  118.11(c) of this 

part, the port director will decide whether to approve the change, will 

notify the CES operator in writing of his decision, and will notify the 

public of any approved fee schedule change by the same methods that were 

used to provide the public with notice of the proposed change. A CES 

operator shall remain bound by the existing fee schedule and shall not 

implement any fee schedule change prior to receipt of written approval 

of the change from the port director.
