984
. In order to carry out essential elements of a sustainable and
effective consumer protection program in connection with core
transport agents offering gas service to core gas customers as
intended by the Legislature in this chapter, the following shall
apply:
(a) A registration fee of one hundred dollars ($100) shall be
collected from a core transport agent required to register under this
chapter and the fee proceeds shall be deposited in the Public
Utilities Reimbursement Account established under Section 402. The
commission may adjust the fee as necessary to recover the cost of
administering the program.
(b) The commission shall annually determine the costs of
administering the registration program and other facets of consumer
protection directly related to the core transport service
transactions of core transport agents, including the cost for the
duties imposed pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 984.5. The
commission shall only collect those costs not already being collected
elsewhere. Registrants who fail to submit to the commission required
fees or information upon which fees are calculated within 30 days of
billing shall be subject to a 15-percent penalty.
