    (c) Late payment charges. Any unpaid assessments due to the Board 
pursuant to Sec.  1280.217 shall be increased 2 percent each month

remaining amount due, which shall include any unpaid charges previously 
made pursuant to this paragraph, shall be increased at the same rate on

than the date prescribed by this subpart, because of a person's failure 
to timely submit a report to the Board, shall be considered to have been 
payable by the date it would have been due if the report had been timely 
filed. The timeliness of a payment to the Board shall be based on the 
applicable postmark date or the date actually received by the Board, 
whichever is earlier.
    (d) Persons failing to remit total assessments due in a timely 
manner may also be subject to actions under Federal debt collection 
procedures.
