Part 12: Miscellaneous Section 232: Marine Licensing Background
This section creates a new fee charging powers which allow the Secretary of State and Scottish Ministers, as appropriate marine licensing authorities, to charge fees for the monitoring, variation (in certain circumstances), and/or transfer of a marine licences ("post-consent work") and for certain connected expenses.
	The Public Bodies (Marine Management Organisation) (Fees) Order 2014 sets out the fees chargeable for the marine licensing post consent work which has been delegated by the Secretary of State to the Marine Management Organisation. Legislative powers to amend the 2014 Order were repealed in 2017. This section revokes the 2014 Order and gives new powers to enable the Secretary of State to update fees for post-consent work. It also gives powers to the Scottish Ministers to set new fees for post-consent work.
