Section 6511. Methodology
Approved by EPA 03/08/89 (54 FR 09795) at 52.970(c)(49) effective 05/08/89.

A.  Formula to Apportion Fees:

Annual Maintenance Fee (based on type of facility and on rated production capacity/ throughput)	Variable
New Application Fee (based on type of facility and on rated production capacity/ throughput)	Variable
Major and Minor Modification Modified Permit Fee (based on type of facility and on rated production capacity/ throughput)	Variable
PSD Application Fee (based on type of facility and on rated production capacity/ throughput)	Surcharge of 50 percent of the application fee
"NESHAP" Compliance Fee (based on type of facility and on rated production capacity/throughput)	Surcharge of 25 percent of the Annual Maintenance Fee for that particular process/plant
"NSPS" Compliance Fee (based on type of facility and on rated production capacity/throughput)	Surcharge of 25 percent of the permit application fee.
Research fee for alternative disposal of hazardous waste	Surcharge of 5.7 percent of the Annual Maintenance Fee for those facilities that generate hazardous waste.

B.  Fee Methodology

     1.  All persons required to obtain a new or modified permit shall be subject to a permit fee (See Fee Schedule).  This fee shall be submitted with any application for a new or modified permit.  The annual maintenance fee for a new or modified source shall be paid during the fiscal year in which the process specified in the permit comes on line.

     2.  The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes listed in the Fee Schedule shall be used to assess fees.

     3.  The permit fee for multiple source permits shall be equal to the total amounts required by the individual processes involved, as listed in the Table.

     4.  All invoices for annual maintenance fees for major sources shall be submitted to those sources during the fiscal year and remittances are due 30 days after receipt of the invoice.  The annual maintenance fee shall be applicable to the fiscal year beginning the same July 1st of each year and ending the following June 30th. Failure to timely remit the annual maintenance fee in accordance with the above shall be considered ground for revoking an existing permit. Maintenance fees not received for prior fiscal years are due upon receipt of new or duplicate invoices.  Minor sources may or may not receive an annual compliance inspection.  In this case the maintenance fee must be paid within 30 days of the notification by the agency of the amount due.  Only one such fee shall be charged annually.

     5.  If a conditional permit is issued in accordance with adopted procedures, fees, submitted with that application for permit shall be retained and be applicable to the regular permit when it is acted upon.

     6.  If a process is not listed in the Fee Schedule and is not a source type exempted from fees by this regulation, then the department shall assign a fee based on the most similar processes and negotiated separately.  The Air Quality Division (AQD) shall analyze each permit request to determine the number of processes involved and the permit fee associated with each.

     7.  Periodically, the Air Quality Division (AQD) shall reevaluate the permit fee schedule based upon the previous fiscal year reasonable costs and shall adjust fees in the Table so as to recover the reasonable costs, and submit such revised schedule to the ;administrative authority for approval action.

     8.  A permit fee exempt list shall be presented to the administrative authority annually for approval.  The permit fee exempt list shall be in the offices of the Air Quality Division and shall be available for public inspection.  Any person may request permit fee exemption for a source class by application to the administrative authority.  Sources listed in the permit fee exempt list shall be exempt from the permit fee (Fee Schedule) and from having to obtain a permit.  The administrative authority may grant initial approval and denial of the class exemption pending consideration by the administrative authority.

     9.  When a company withdraws its application and claims refund for the permit fee, no refund shall be made, if the review of the application is essentially completed at the time of withdrawal. However up to 50 percent refund may be made when the review is just initiated but not completed.

     10.  Although a process unit or a plant is operated at a reduced level or is operated during certain months only, the annual maintenance fee will not be prorated.  The annual maintenance fee is charged on the rated capacity and not the actual output/throughput level.

     11.  When a permanent shutdown occurs and a company properly notifies the Air Quality Division, by official change in the Emission Inventory Questionnaire (EIQ) and permit, the maintenance fee would be dropped for that shutdown portion of the process/plant in the appropriate fiscal year only if that portion of the process/plant does not operate at any time during that fiscal year.

     12.  Unless otherwise stated, generally, the minor modification fee is equal to the Annual Maintenance Fee (AMF), the major modification is three times the AMF and new application fee is five times the AMF.  Where there is a minimum and/or maximum AMF established in a particular category, the same rationale shall apply to minimum and maximum permit fees.

     13.  NSPS fees may be waived when a PSD application fee is imposed.

     14.  The AQD administrator and his staff will determine the type of fee.  This determination will be based on the work load and on the factors described as follows:

     a.  New application fee (based on new capacity or incremental capacity)  applies when:

          i.  A new facility is added;

          ii.  A new operation in an existing facility is added;

          iii.  An existing operation is expanded by more than 80 percent in capacity.

     b.  Major modification fee (based on existing capacity) applies when:

          i.  The modification will trigger PSD review;

          ii.  The modification would have triggered PSD review without the use of contemporaneous emission reductions or banked emissions;

          iii.  The modification will increase 25 tons/year or more of non-attainment pollutant;

          iv.  The modification will change emissions over 100 tons/year;

          v.  The modification will increase capacity of an existing operation by 40 percent.

     c.  Minor modification fee (based on existing capacity) applies when a modification is not qualified under a new application fee or major modification fee.

     d.  If a modification is such that it does not increase capacity and changes emissions by less than 25 tons/year, the permit fee can be charged equal to the minimum minor modification permit fee for each process category involved.

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR FEE SCHEDULE:

NOTE 1 - This category does not include building paper.

NOTE 2 - This category is considered one process with the fee based on the rated yearly chlorine capacity.

NOTE 3 - The fee for this category is based on crude throughput of the refinery.  Throughput includes additional purchased charge stocks.

NOTE 4 - Module is defined as a rotary printing device capable of printing one sheet and commonly arranged in series to comprise a print press.

NOTE 5 - The fees for this category apply to both batch and continuous processes.

NOTE 6 - This fee applies to lubricants meaning lubricating oils and greases.  This fee is not to be charged for units which are part of a facility for which the petroleum refinery fee was paid.

NOTE 7 - The fees for this category are based on the organic compound storage capacity of the facility.

NOTE 8 - For an electric power generation unit to be placed in this category it must burn fuel oil or coal of less than .7% Sulphur.

NOTE 9 - Wholesale grain distribution is not included in this category.

NOTE 10 - Facilities with no fuel or waste burning equipment are exempted from both the annual maintenance and permit fees.  Power must be supplied by electric motors or internal combustion engines.

NOTE 11 - For coal gasification and cogeneration projects when computing application fees, the capital cost for the control equipment that reduces emissions to a level below the applicable NSPS regulations should be deducted from the capital cost.

NOTE 12 - The maximum annual maintenance fee charged to any one gas transmission company for the total of fee numbers 1430, 1440, 1450, 1460, 1470, 1480, and 1490 shall not exceed $15,795.00.
