13. The capital asset/loan fees that are payable to WCMRC in relation to an arrangement required by subsections 167(1) and 168(1) of the Act are the capital asset/loan fees set out in Part III of this notice.

PART III

14. The capital asset/loan fee ("CALF") is determined according to the following:

• (a) on the basis of cost per tonne;
• (b) by multiplying a capital asset/loan fee rate ("CALFR") by the applicable quantity of bulk oil loaded or unloaded within WCMRC's Geographic Area of Response ("GAR"), and where applicable, bulk oil cargo transferred between ships within WCMRC's GAR;
• (c) by dividing the forecast annual Funds Required for Capital Purchases (1) of WCMRC, plus the provision for tax (2) by the forecast Annual Volume (3) of bulk oil cargo to be loaded or unloaded within WCMRC's GAR (4);
• (d) Funds Required for Capital Purchases (1) = Annual Capital Budget plus the annual principal bank loan repayment, less amortization of capital assets (excluding amortization of assets purchased previously with the BOCF);
• (e) Provision for tax (2) = (Funds Required for Capital Purchases less amortization of capital assets purchased previously with the BOCF) multiplied by the applicable rate of tax;
• (f) Annual Volume (3) = Total volume of bulk oil cargo unloaded plus total volume of bulk oil loaded for international destinations and north of 60° north latitude within WCMRC's GAR and, where applicable, bulk oil cargo transferred between ships within WCMRC's GAR; and
• (g) GAR (4) = Geographic area of response for which WCMRC is certified to operate.

15. The CALFR calculated by the formula above is applicable to all products except asphalt. The CALFR for asphalt is 50% of the rate for all other products.

16. The CALF applicable in respect of asphalt is

• (a) an amended fee of zero cents ($0.000) per tonne, from January 1, 2015.

17. The CALF applicable in respect of other products is

• (a) an amended fee of zero cents ($0.000) per tonne, from January 1, 2015.
