Can an Access Provider impose a non refundable processing fee upon submission of a new service requested by the Access Seeker during the forecast submission?

No. As the provision in the MSA allows for recovery for over-forecasting (subsection 5.6.14 of the MSA) and the security requirements imposed by the Access Provider under subsection 5.3.8 of the MSA is adequate to protect the Access Provider’s 

interest. 
 

Yes. Once the forecast has been confirmed, it shall be deemed as an Order, thus, subsection 5.7 of the MSA for Ordering and Provisioning shall apply, subsection 5.7.13 (b) of the MSA allows charges to be imposed for the fulfillment of the Order.
