# §270.20. Payment of assessments.


Persons subject to an assessment would be required to pay the assessment on or before the date due, unless they have demanded a refund or filed a petition of objection with NMFS under [§ 270.21](/cfr/50/270.21.md). However, persons who have demanded a refund under [§ 270.22](/cfr/50/270.22.md) or filed a petition of objection under [§ 270.21](/cfr/50/270.21.md) may submit proof of these actions in leu of payment. In the case of a petition of objection, NMFs will inform the Council and the petitioner of its finding at which time petitioner must pay the revised assessment if applicable.
