Or. Admin. Code § 856-030-0040 - Transportation Oversight Committee
(1)
For the purpose of making annual, automatic, cost-based adjustments to the
transportation system cost component of the tariff funding the pilotage system
for the Columbia River Bar pilotage ground, a Transportation Oversight
Committee is established, composed of one public member of the Oregon Board of
Maritime Pilots (Board), two members of the Columbia River Bar Pilots (CRBP), a
representative of the Columbia River Steamship Operators Association and a
representative of a port located on the Columbia River. The public member of
the Transportation Oversight Committee will act as chair.
(2) Beginning in 2011, the Transportation
Oversight Committee will meet as necessary but at least semiannually. The
Transportation Oversight Committee will review long-term transportation system
planning, will regularly review and make recommendations regarding
transportation system costs and and the basis for those costs for the Columbia
River Bar pilotage ground.
(3) Upon
agreement of a majority of members, the Transportation Oversight Committee may
submit data requests to the CRBP. Data requests are written interrogatories or
requests for documentation. The data requests must be answered within 20 Board
business days from the date of service. Each data request must be answered
fully and separately in writing or with the documentation requested.
(4) On an annual basis beginning in 2011, the
Transportation Oversight Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board
regarding annual adjustments to the components of the Transportation System
Cost of the pilotage system serving the Columbia River Bar pilotage grounds to
reflect the best available information about changing economic conditions
including expense levels shown by CRBP financial statements and Transportation
Oversight Committee projections. The Transportation System Cost components
include the following line item categories: helicopter service; repairs and
maintenance infrastructure; repairs and maintenance; insurance; boat operator
expense; employee wages; employee benefits; transportation launch expense; food
vessel expense; taxes and licenses; and administrative/accounting. The
recommended adjustments to one or more of the components of the Transportation
System Cost shall be developed by the Transportation Oversight Committee and
submitted in writing to the Board by July 31 of each year.
(5) In the event the Transportation Oversight
Committee cannot reach agreement on one or more of the components of the
Transportation System Cost, the competing views shall be described in
appropriate memoranda drafted by one or more representative of the
Transportation Oversight Committee and submitted to the Oregon Board of
Maritime Pilots. The submission from the Transportation Oversight Committee
shall be considered by the Oregon Board of Maritime Pilots at a meeting that
occurs on or before August 31 of each year so that the Committee's
recommendations can be considered and any disputed issue decided in order for
any adjustments to the components of the Transportation System cost to be
effective on September 1 of that year.
