This fee shall be charged regardless of the actual travel time expended. The Division shall also charge an owner/operator either the inspector's actual travel time or the 1 hour flat fee, whichever is greater, at the hourly billing rate to a rescheduled inspection if the inspection was rescheduled because the owner/operator either failed to show up or was unprepared for the originally-scheduled inspection.

(b) No charge shall be made in any one permit year for more than two inspections except where safety orders have not been complied with and subsequent inspections are necessary. Then, an additional fee not to exceed $245.00 per hour or fraction thereof may, at the discretion of the Division, be charged.

(c) The Division will charge no fee for an inspection performed by a certified insurance inspector except a charge of $10.00 to cover the cost of processing the permit to operate.

(d) Aerial passenger tramways shall be inspected at least two times each year.

(e) At least one of the inspections required by subdivision (d) shall take place between November 15 of each year and March 15 of the succeeding year.
