R.S.C. 1970, c. 15 (1st Supp.), s. 13 These Regulations may be cited as the Special Services (Excise) Regulations. In these Regulations, Act means the Excise Act; (Loi) authorized hours means the period between 0800 and 1700 hours, excluding one hour for a meal break, during any day other than a Saturday or a holiday. (heures autorisées) Subject to subsection (2), the following services performed by an officer at the request of a person in charge of goods subject to excise shall be special services: any service performed outside authorized hours on the premises of a distiller, brewer, tobacco manufacturer, tobacco packer or a person holding a special temporary licence granted pursuant to subsection 262(1) of the Act; any service performed at any time at a place other than the premises referred to in paragraph (a); or any service performed at any time at a bonded manufactory or a bonding warehouse.

Where more than one officer is required to perform a special service, the chargeable time in respect of that service shall be the aggregate of the time spent by all the officers in the performance of that service. Where a person requesting a special service does not provide transportation and an officer is required to use a personal conveyance, the person requesting the service shall pay, in respect of the use of the personal conveyance, the greater of an amount based on the rates applicable as of October 1, 1990 authorized by the Treasury Board for the use of personal conveyances by public servants, and $5.
