Part 1: The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) Funding Sections 13 and 14: Levy on licence holders and The licencing levy: regulations
Section 13 provides the Secretary of State with a power to make regulations imposing a levy on the holders of certain licences. The levy will fund the OGA’s functions and the costs of providing the Tribunal Service to consider appeals against decisions of the OGA. The levy may not be imposed in respect of costs incurred where a fee is charged under section 12.
	This provision replaces the existing levy provision which is currently set out in the Infrastructure Act 2015.
	Section 14 sets out examples of what the regulations made by the Secretary of State under section 13 may make provision for.
