NOPSA Cost Recovery
The National Offshore Petroleum Safety Authority Cost Recovery Impact Statement (the CRIS) was developed following agreement by the Ministerial Council on Mineral and Petroleum Resources (MCMPR) that NOPSA be fully funded by an industry safety fee
The Government decided that the costs of the Authority would be recovered from industry in line with the Commonwealth Cost Recovery Guidelines for Regulatory Agencies and the charges have been set accordingly.
Cost recovery is accomplished through a system of levies on operators. Guidance on safety case levies is provided. The levies and remittal flowcharts provide an overview of the decision making for levies and remittals.
