(a) The cargo is transferred from a previous vehicle for which a fee has been assessed, or

(b) The vehicle has a number of stops before unloading the radioactive cargo for which a fee has been assessed.

(b) Other payments or services to the Department support applicable safety programs of the State of Oregon;

(c) The shipment of the material involves a single radioactive source and frequent movement between sites where the source is used; or
