Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 28, July 12, 2024
11.1. Initial year waiver of registration
				fee.
In the year beginning July 1, 1994 and ending June 30, 1995
				  the apportioned registra-tion fee for West Virginia and Ohio will be
				  waived.
11.2. Calculation
				Formula.
Beginning July 1, 1995, an apportioned vehicle registration
				  fee shall be paid by affected carriers. The fee shall be calculated by
				  multiplying the percentage of West Virginia transportation by the percentage of
				  hazardous material transportation multiplied by the total number of vehicles
				  the carrier operates multiplied by a per vehicle fee of $50.
11.3. State percentage.
A carrier shall determine its percentage of West Virginia
				  transportation by dividing the number of miles it traveled in West Virginia
				  under the international registration plan during the previous year by the
				  number of miles it traveled nationwide under the international registration
				  plan during the previous year. If a carrier operates only in West Virginia, it
				  must use 100 percent of the miles traveled as its percentage of West Virginia
				  transportation. If a carrier does not register its vehicles through the
				  international registration plan, it must calculate the number of miles traveled
				  in the manner required under the international registration plan. A carrier
				  must add all fleet miles together.
11.4. Hazardous material percentage.
A carrier shall determine its percentage of hazardous
				  material transportation by using a method based on general percentage ranges or
				  actual percentages. A carrier shall determine its percentage of hazardous
				  material transportation as follows:
11.4.1. For less-than-truckload shipments, it
				must divide the weight of the carrier's hazardous material and hazardous waste
				shipments transported during the previous year by the total weight of all
				shipments transported during the previous year.
11.4.2. For truckload shipments, it must
				divide the number of shipments transported during the previous year for which
				placarding, marking, or manifesting, was required by the Code of Federal
				Regulations, title 49, part 172, by the total number of all shipments
				transported during the previous year.
11.4.3. A carrier that transports both
				truckload and less-than-truckload shipments of hazardous material or hazardous
				waste must determine its percentage of hazardous material transportation by
				calculating the percentage of business that is hazardous material
				transportation on a proportional basis with the percentage of business that is
				not hazardous material transportation.
11.4.4. A carrier may use data from its most
				recent complete fiscal year or the most recent complete calendar year in
				calculating the percentages required in this subdivision for transportation
				conducted during the previous year.
