. (a) In addition to, and concurrently with, the basic pilotage
rate described in Section 1190, a charge shall be levied for
pilotage services at a rate necessary to provide the benefits to be
paid out pursuant to the pension plan. The additional rate shall be
determined as follows:
(1) On March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1 of each year,
the number of persons eligible to receive benefits under the plan,
their identities, the calculated amount each shall be entitled to
receive, and the total amount to be paid out to all of those persons
during each month of the next three-month period shall be determined
by the fiduciary agent or agents.
(2) After the total amount to be paid out monthly under the plan
has been determined, the rate necessary to provide that amount each
month shall be calculated by the fiduciary agent or agents. The rate
shall be based upon the volume of shipping, in gross registered tons,
handled by pilots licensed under this division for the 12-month
periods ending the previous September 30 for benefit periods
commencing the following January 1, ending the previous December 31
for benefit periods commencing the following April 1, ending the
previous March 31 for benefit periods commencing the following July
1, and ending the previous June 30 for benefit periods commencing the
following October 1, respectively. The rate shall be expressed as
mills per gross registered ton and shall be calculated to the nearest
one-hundredth of a mill.
(3) The estimated cost of the services of the fiduciary agent or
agents to administer the pension plan shall be calculated by the
fiduciary agent or agents for the benefit periods described in
paragraph (2), shall be expressed as mills per gross registered ton,
and shall be calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a mill.
(b) The rate determined pursuant to paragraphs (1), (2), and (3)
of subdivision (a) shall become effective on January 1 of the
following year with respect to the September 30 calculations, on
April 1 of the following year with respect to the December 31
calculations, on July 1 of that year with respect to the March 31
calculations, and on October 1 of that year with respect to the June
