1. A weighted-average break-even point (called the break-even point) and a weighted-average rate base (called the rate
base) shall be calculated and used when applying the schedule to mixed business. If the holder's business records do not

the break-even point and twice the break-even point using 150 percent of the rate base. Calculate the fee on sales above
twice the break-even point using the balance of sales rate.
2. The minimum annual fee for this use, which is due in advance and is not subject to refund, shall be equal to the fee that
would result when sales are 40 percent of the break-even point. This fee shall be calculated and billed by the Forest Service
during the final quarter of the holder's fiscal year, using the most recent GFA figure and previously reported sales data for the
current year, plus, if the operating season is still active, estimated sales for the remainder of the year.

guidelines supporting GRFS.
(a) Valuing GFA. The value of GFA shall be the cost of each qualifying asset as reflected in the financial statements of

asset value occurred.

changed to the correct amount retroactive to the date the error occurred and fees adjusted accordingly.
