assessed a surcharge of 5%. Employers who fail to complete a
required workplace health and safety program and who are
assessed a surcharge after January 1, 1994, must be assessed a

Sec. Q-5. Transfer of funds. Any funds received as repayment of the
principal and interest on outstanding loans originated with funds
from the previously authorized Occupational Safety Loan Fund in
the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 26, former section 62 must be
transferred and be deposited in the Safety Education and Training
Fund under Title 26, section 61 and must be used to reduce the
annual assessment on workers' compensation insurers and self-
insurers.

 
The remaining amounts in the Occupational Safety Loan Fund may
be used only to pay administrative expenses of the Finance
Authority of Maine for the administration of outstanding loans
originated with proceeds of the Occupational Safety Loan Fund.
Upon the repayment of all such outstanding loans, any remaining
funds must be deposited in the Safety Education and Training Fund
and used to reduce the annual assessment on workers' compensation
insurers and self-insurers. In the event there are insufficient
funds for all costs of administering the current loans
outstanding for the life of such loans, the Department of Labor
will provide funding for the costs of administering the loans
made with proceeds from the Safety Education and Training Fund.
