5 AUGUST 2008 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 123 3185
(b) A charge for producing the first output in each season, which covers the costs of collecting, validating, processing, storing and extracting the core data each season. The basis for charging is the number of output records resulting from the request. The charge is made for each season that the data is supplied for. For the purposes of this document, a season is defined as the 12 months from 1 June to 31 May.
(c) A charge for additional data extracts during the season to cover their additional costs of production. The basis for charging is the number of output records resulting from the request.
The charge components specified in (a) to (c) above include the following cost components:
(a) Core Database Infrastructure
(i) Programming costs attributable to the core database.
(ii) Core database administrator and associated administration costs.
(iii) Core database system maintenance, depreciation and cost of capital.
(iv) Client and herd data collection by the sales force.
(v) Sales costs attributable to the core database.
(b) Core Database Content, Storage & Extraction
(i) AB Technician time recording matings.
(ii) MINDA Operations Data Bureau time attributable to animal event processing.
(iii) MINDA Operations personnel and phone costs attributable to animal record maintenance, reporting, data validation and correction.
(iv) LIC’s National Animal Database operating costs apportioned to the provision of core data for herd recording.
(v) The costs of postage and printing attributable to the first output.
(c) Repeat Data Extracts
(i) LIC’s National Animal Database operating costs apportioned to the provision of core data for repeat herd reports.
(ii) The costs of postage and printing attributable to the provision of repeat herd reports.
The actual charges for the 2007/08 season are shown in the attached schedule.
The calculation of these charges requires assumptions about volumes of work carried out in each activity. In particular, it depends on the number of times the database is accessed for data for all purposes and on the volumes of records in all output. These assumptions are made in advance of each season and are used for pricing in the forthcoming season.
