based on 200 licenses issued at $100 each, Maine Revenue Services indicates that a small amount of sales tax may 
not be collected due to the inability to require collection and remittance of sales tax from some licensees. Additional 
costs to the Department of Public Safety associated with reviewing reports from the direct shippers can be absorbed
