The attached letter from the Head of Tourism in Mentawai, Drs Zulkarlin, asks MMTA to submit a final list of 30 boats by the beginning of November 2007. This letter will be determined on Monday the 5th of November and all MMTA members must submit their list of 6 boats by that time. MMTA companies will be responsible for the collection and payment of Mentawai Retribution Taxes from the boats on the company list. License plates will be issued to the 30 boats for operation in Mentawai waters. Other boats are permitted to stop for fuel or emergency in Mentawai ports but they must not stop at any other location and they are not permitted to operate as surf charter boats in Mentawai Kabupaten. The fine for stopping at a location that is not on the SIB issued at the orinating port is Rp50,000,000. All MMTA member boats are responsible to report any boat that is not on the list and taking surf charters to Mentawai to the MMTA for processing. The MMTA will inform all sales agents marketing surf charters so that clients are not victims of non-compliance.
