projects)] x 2.911084

where

A is the number of Class 1 oil sands projects approvals held by

to the applicable production range from Table A that contains

the total bitumen volumes produced in the base year by the

to the applicable production range from Table A that contains

the amount that is determined by dividing the difference

between the maximum amount of bitumen volumes that may

be produced by the project in the base year under the

approval and the volumes that were actually produced by the

age of the approval or the most recent amended approval,

calculated from the date of issuance to December 31 of the

base year and rounded up to a full year (but if the bitumen

volumes produced exceed the maximum amount that may be

produced, A is $5000);

B is the variable rate selected from Table A which corresponds

to the applicable production range from Table A that contains

the amount that is determined by dividing the difference

between the maximum amount of bitumen volumes that may

calculated from the date of issuance to December 31 of the

base year and rounded up to a full year (but if the project did

not produce any bitumen in the base year or if the bitumen

volumes produced exceed the maximum amount that may be

produced, B is 0);

sands projects)] x 0.902981

where

A is the number of Class 4 oil sands project approvals held by

the operator;

B is the fixed amount selected from Table B which corresponds

to the applicable production range from Table B that contains

the total bitumen volumes produced in the base year by the

operator's Class 4 oil sands projects;

to the applicable production range from Table B that contains

the total bitumen volumes produced in the base year by the

operator's Class 4 oil sands projects.

(8) The administration fee payable by an operator of one or more

Class 5 approved oil sands projects is the amount, in respect of each

project, calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Fee for Class 5 project = [$10 000 + A + (B x C)] x 14.479941

where

A is the fixed amount selected from Table B which corresponds

to the applicable production range from Table B that contains

the amount that is determined by dividing the difference

between the maximum amount of bitumen volumes that may

be produced by the project in the base year under the

application or approval and the volumes that were actually

produced by the age of the approval, the most recent

amended approval or the most recent application for an

amendment to the approval, calculated from the date of

issuance to December 31 of the base year and rounded up to

a full year (but if the bitumen volumes produced exceed the

maximum amount that may be produced, A is $2500);

B is the variable rate selected from Table B which corresponds

to the applicable production range from Table B that contains

the amount that is determined by dividing the difference

between the maximum amount of bitumen volumes that may

be produced in the base year under the application or

approval and the volumes that were actually produced by the

age of the approval, the most recent amended approval or the

most recent application for an amendment to the approval,

calculated from the date of issuance to December 31 of the

base year and rounded up to a full year (but if the project did

not produce any bitumen in the base year or if the bitumen

volumes produced exceed the maximum amount that may be

produced, B is 0);

C is the amount determined by dividing the difference between

the maximum amount of bitumen volumes that may be

produced by the project in the base year under the application

or approval and the volumes that were actually produced by

the age of the approval, the most recent amended approval or

the most recent application for an amendment to the

approval, calculated from the date of issuance to December

31 of the base year and rounded up to a full year.

section for

the recovery of the administration fee imposed in respect of that well,

coal mine or oil sands project.

(3) If the defendant in an action under this

finding that the defendant was the operator on the prescribed date,

subsection (2) does not apply, but the burden is on the defendant to

prove that the defendant was not the operator of the well, coal mine or

oil sands project concerned on the prescribed date.

(4) The defendant in an action under subsection (1) may join as a

co-defendant any person the defendant claims was the operator on the

prescribed date of the well, coal mine or oil sands project concerned

and, in that event, the court may, if it upholds the claim, give judgment

against that co-defendant for the amount of the administration fees and

penalties owing by that co-defendant.

Liability for payment

10 If the operator who is liable for an administration fee

or of any particular wells, coal mines or oil sands projects, or

(

b) is no longer in Alberta, has become bankrupt or insolvent, is

no longer carrying on business in Alberta, refuses to pay or

does not pay,

the liability for the payment of the administration fee is on the person

be, on the prescribed date.
