REGISTRATION AND OPERATING PERMIT FEES FOR AIR CONTAMINANT SOURCES

Registration Fees

     B. The annual fee for each source required by Article IV, Section 4.01 to be registered and that is not subject to Section 10.06.C. of this Regulation shall be determined by adding all of the applicable fees, below: ((in the current fee schedule.))

1.	Registration Fee Categories	Fee	Fee Applicability

	Emissions FeeB	Per the Fee Schedule	Per Ton
	Emission Point FeeC	Per the Fee Schedule	Per Stack/Point
	Burn Out Oven/Incinerator FeeD	Per the Fee Schedule	Per Source
	Synthetic Minor FeeE	Per the Fee Schedule	Per Source
	WEDS FeeF	Per the Fee Schedule	Per Hour

     a Each source is subject to the fee listed.

     b The additional fee listed applies to each ton (rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a ton) of each criteria and toxic air pollutant emitted.

     c The additional fee applies to each stack and other emission points. For gasoline stations, each gasoline tank vent is an emission point.

     d The additional fee listed applies to each source which operated at least one incinerator or burn out oven during the registration period.

     e The additional fee listed applies to each Synthetic Minor source as defined in SCAPCA Regulation I, Article I, Section 1.04.

     ((1)) 2. The Board shall periodically review the fee schedule for registered sources and determine if the total projected fee revenue to be collected pursuant to this Section is sufficient to fully recover program costs. Any proposed fee revisions shall include opportunity for public review and comment. Accordingly, the Agency shall account for program costs, including employee costs and overhead. If the Board determines that the total projected fee revenue is either significantly excessive or deficient for this purpose, then the Board shall amend the fee schedule to more accurately recover program costs.
