 therefrom. 



Contributing Government means a Contracting Government undertaking to 

 contribute to the costs of the ice patrol service pursuant to these Rules. 



2 Each Contracting Government specially interested in these services whose ships 

 pass through the region of icebergs during the ice season undertakes to contribute to the 

 Government of the United States of America its proportionate share of the costs for the 

 management and operation of the ice patrol service. The contribution to the Government 

 of the United States of America shall be based on the ratio which the average annual 

 gross tonnage of that contributing Government's ships passing through the region of 

 icebergs guarded by the Ice Patrol during the previous three ice seasons bears to the 

 combined average annual gross tonnage of all ships that passed through the region of 

 icebergs guarded by the Ice Patrol during the previous three ice seasons. 



3 All contributions shall be calculated by multiplying the ratio described in paragraph 

 2 by the average actual annual cost incurred by the Governments of the United States of 

 America and Canada of managing and operating ice patrol services during the previous 

 three years. This ratio shall be computed annually, and shall be expressed in terms of a 

 lump sum per-annum fee. 



4 Each of the contributing Governments has the right to alter or discontinue its 

 contribution, and other interested Governments may undertake to contribute to the 

 expense. The contributing Government which avails itself of this right will continue to be 

 responsible for its current contribution up to 1 September following the date of giving 

 notice of intentions to alter or discontinue its contribution. To take advantage of the said 

 right it must give notice to the managing Government at least six months before the said 

 1 September. 



5 Each contributing Government shall notify the Secretary-General of 



undertaking pursuant to paragraph 2, who shall notify all Contracting Governments.
