621.166 Application for dairy products plant license; rules; fee; expiration; mobile milk tanker fees.

(1) Application for a dairy products plant license shall be made to the State Department of Agriculture on forms provided by the department. Each license and each annual renewal shall expire on June 30 next following its issuance or on such date as may be specified by department rule. Dairy products plant licenses are personal and are not transferable.

(2) Each dairy products plant shall submit a separate fee established by the department for each mobile milk tanker. The fee shall not apply to a mobile milk tanker owned and operated by a dairy products plant while transporting dairy products from the dairy products plant to wholesale or retail outlets for those products. As used in this section, mobile milk tanker means a tank or other receptacle that attaches to a bulk tank truck or other equipment and is used to transport fluid milk, milk or milk products.

(3) The department shall establish the license fee for a mobile milk tanker in accordance with ORS chapter 183. The fee may not be less than $25 or more than $50. The fees for a dairy products plant are:

(a) $135 if the applicant s annual gross dollar volume of sales and services is not more than $50,000;

(b) $189 if an applicant s annual gross dollar volume of sales and services is more than $50,000 and not more than $500,000;

(c) $325 if an applicant s annual gross dollar volume of sales and services is more than $500,000 and not more than $1 million;

(d) $487 if an applicant s annual gross dollar volume of sales and services is more than $1 million and not more than $5 million;

(e) $649 if an applicant s annual gross dollar volume of sales and services is more than $5 million and not more than $10 million; or

(f) $812 if an applicant s annual gross dollar volume of sales and services is more than $10 million.

(4) In establishing the amount of the license fee for an applicant, the department shall use the annual gross dollar volume of sales and services by that applicant within Oregon during the prior calendar year or, if the applicant maintains sales and service records on a fiscal basis, the prior fiscal year. If the applicant applying for an original license or for a renewal license cannot provide the annual gross dollar volume of sales or services for a full calendar year, the department shall base the fee on estimated annual gross sales and services by the applicant. If an applicant whose previous year s fee was determined using an estimated gross sales and services figure applies for renewal of that license, the fee for the previous license year shall be adjusted to reflect the actual gross dollar volume of sales and services by the applicant.
