(a) Revision schedule.

(b) Inflation adjuster. The second year of each two-year fee schedule shall be adjusted for inflation by using the following adjustment formula:

Feei Year2 = Feei Year1 × (CPIYear2-2/CPIYear2-1)

Where:

FeeiYear2 is the Fee for each type of manifest submission "i" in Year 2 of the fee cycle;

FeeiYear1 is the Fee for each type of manifest submission "i" in Year 1 of the fee cycle; and

CPIYear2-2/CPIYear2-1 is the ratio of the CPI published for the year two (2) years prior to Year 2 to the CPI for the year one (1) year prior to Year 2 of the cycle.

(c) Revenue recovery adjusters. The fee schedules published at two-year intervals under this section shall include an adjustment to recapture revenue lost in the previous two-year fee cycle on account of imprecise estimates of manifest usage. This adjustment shall be calculated using the following adjustment formula to calculate a revenue recapture amount which will be added to O & M Costs in the fee calculation formula of section 264.1312:

Revenue Recapturei = (NiYear1 + NiYear2)Actual - (N iYear1 + NiYear2)Est × Feei(Ave)

Where:

Revenue Recapturei is the amount of fee revenue recaptured for each type of manifest submission "i;"

(NiYear1 + NiYear2)Actual - (NiYear1 + NiYear2)Est is the difference between actual manifest numbers submitted to the system for each manifest type during the previous two-year cycle, and the numbers estimated when we developed the previous cycle's fee schedule; and

Feei(Ave) is the average fee charged per manifest type over the previous two-year cycle.
