2. Reason for proposal and main contents 

In order to strengthen the management of distribution and sales of deep sea drinking water, a person who intends to engage in the specialized distribution and sales business of deep sea drinking water with his/her own brand by letting others manufacture deep sea drinking water shall report such business to the city/provincial governor, and,

in the event that the persons obliged to pay charges for using deep sea water fails to do so by the payment deadline, an amount equivalent to 5/100 of the charge could be collected as an additional charge in the past; from now on, however, an additional charge calculated based on the period of arrearage in days will be collected within 3/100 of the total surcharge in order to improve and supplement some operational insufficiencies in the current system by reorganizing the surcharge imposing system to make it fair and rational and by reducing the burden on the persons obliged to pay charges for using deep sea water.
