For each inspection fee assessed to intrastate gas pipeline operators, the commission shall calculate its total actual expenses and obligations incurred in implementing and administering this chapter. All expenses directly attributable to specific intrastate pipeline facilities shall be directly charged to the appropriate pipeline operators on an annual basis. For all expenses not directly attributable to intrastate gas distribution facilities, the commission shall assess each pipeline operator for a pro rata share of the expenses and obligations based on the number of meters in service on the preceding December thirty-first.
For all expenses not directly attributable to intrastate gas transmission and gathering facilities, the commission shall assess each pipeline operator for a pro rata share of the expenses and obligations based on the percentage of total miles to be inspected that are or will be operated by each pipeline operator. For all expenses not directly attributable to intrastate liquefied petroleum gas facilities, the commission shall assess each pipeline operator for a pro rata share of expenses and obligations based on the percentage of total miles to be inspected that are or will be operated by each pipeline operator, until the commission adopts a rule providing for metered billing of facilities carrying liquefied petroleum gas.
