§ 138.130   Fees.

(a) The Director, NPFC, will not issue a Certificate until the fees set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section have been paid.

(b) Fees must be paid in United States currency by check, draft, or postal money order made payable to the “U.S. Coast Guard”. Cash will not be accepted.

(c) Except as provided in §138.70(c), an applicant that submits an application for the first time under this part, shall pay an initial, non-refundable application fee of $150 for each type of application (i.e., individual Certificate(s), Fleet Certificate, and Master Certificate). An applicant that submits an application for an additional (i.e., supplemental) individual Certificate, or to replace, amend or renew an existing Certificate, is not required to pay a new application fee. However, if an applicant for any reason withdraws or permits the withdrawal of an application for an individual Certificate(s) and the applicant holds no valid individual Certificate(s), in order to reapply for an individual Certificate(s) covering the same or different vessels the applicant shall submit a new application form and an application fee of $150. Similarly, an applicant shall submit a new application form and fee to obtain a new Fleet or Master Certificate following invalidation of a Fleet or Master Certificate.

(d) In addition to the application fee of $150, an applicant shall also pay a certification fee of $80 for each Certificate requested. An applicant shall submit the certification fee for each vessel listed in, or later added to, an application for an individual Certificate(s). An applicant shall submit the $80 certification fee to renew or to reissue a Certificate for any reason, including, but not limited to, a vessel or operator name change or a lost certificate.

(e) A certification fee is refunded, upon receipt of a written request, if the application is denied or withdrawn before issuance of the Certificate. Overpayments of application and certification fees are refunded, on request, only if the refund is for $50 or more. However, any overpayments not refunded will be credited, for a period of three years from the date of receipt of the monies by the Coast Guard, for the applicant's possible future use or transfer to another applicant under this part.
