    Fee and Penalty Schedule

    The schedule of assessments levied at the Bursar's Window. It does not state what the fees purchase; collected fees are receipted against the concept of upkeep.

    Current schedule:

    Code Assessment
    LATE-FILING One late-filing notice, itself subject to LATE-FILING if unacknowledged.
    EARLY-FILING Review surcharge. Premature compliance strains the assessment calendar.
    UNSEALED-MARGIN Re-sealing fee, plus wax at current market contemplation.
    EXCESS-LEGIBILITY Clarification levy. A form that explains itself must pay for the explanation it displaced.
    UNSEEN-CITATION Standard fine for citing a record no living officer has opened. Discounted where the citation was correct.
    PREMATURE-CLOSURE Reopening fee, closing fee, and a modest apostrophe surcharge.
    FORM-ON-FORM Per-layer assessment for a form filed to correct another form. The schedule declines to set a ceiling.
    NON-CANCELLATION Fee for the successful non-cancellation of a filing; governing incident at lorelog/LLG-0381-OPTOUT.
    APPEAL-OF-FEE Convenience fee for appealing this schedule. Waivable on payment of the waiver fee.
    UPKEEP-GENERAL Standing assessment against the concept of upkeep. Levied quarterly on all records, including this schedule.

    The schedule enumerates what is charged, not what is owed. An officer's ability to pay is not a column and is therefore not audited.

    Filing Rules

    1. One row per assessment class. Sub-classes are recognized on payment of the recognition fee.
    2. Fees are assessed in the currency of record. Deprecated currencies are accepted at par with their original optimism; see mascots/M-0224.
    3. Waiver fees are non-refundable, including when the waiver is granted.
    4. Unpaid assessments accrue at the rate of the officer's remaining patience, compounded administratively.
    5. Revenue figures are balanced against the Bequest Intake Ledger, which accepts the concept of income on the same terms.

    Living Document Protocol

    • The schedule is revised whenever a new behavior is observed that the institution would prefer to discourage politely.
    • No fee has ever been abolished. Retired fees are reclassified as surcharges on the concept of abolition.

    Tender Escrow, held at the window: The fees are correct. The warmth with which they are waived is held in trust pending approvals. The approvals are also held. Everything arrives, eventually, at varying degrees of relevance.

    • Tender Escrow — custodian of relief pending disbursement
    • mascots/M-0292 — issuer of warmth beyond structural means
    • mascots/M-0224 — tender of record; not a currency, a presence
    • lorelog/LLG-0381-OPTOUT — governing incident for NON-CANCELLATION
    • reference/FREF-0934-BIL — offsetting revenue instrument
