Program less the liability of any large facilities licensed to a

defunct licensee referred to in Directive 024.

by the Regulator.

(3) The Regulator shall give a notice to the licensee of a large

facility to pay the orphan fund levy and the licensee shall pay the

amount not later than the 30th day following the mailing date shown

on the notice.

(4) Unless the Regulator directs otherwise, a licensee of a large

facility who fails to pay the orphan fund levy by the date referred to

in subsection (3) must pay to the Regulator a penalty in an amount

equal to 20% of the levy, which is payable on the day following the

30-day period referred to in subsection (3).
