Section R9-7-1304 - Annual Fees for Licenses and Registrations

A. Each license or registration issued by the Department shall identify the category by a letter and number corresponding to the appropriate subsection of R9-7-1302 or the category and type listed in Table 13.1.

B. Except as specified in R9-7-1306(C), (D), and (E), each licensee or registrant shall submit payment of the annual fee in the amount prescribed in Table 13.1 on or before January 1 of each year. This single annual fee will cover any and all renewals, amendments, and regular inspections of the license during the forthcoming calendar year.

C. If a licensee or registrant fails to pay the annual fee by January 1, the license is not current.

D. If a licensee or registrant fails to pay the annual fee by April 1, the Department shall apply administrative sanction provisions of Article 12 of this Chapter.

E. A licensee who is required to pay an annual fee under this Article may qualify as a small entity and pay the reduced annual fee in Table 13.2 if the licensee has the following characteristics:

1. For a business not engaged in manufacturing or a not-for-profit organization, having a three-year average of gross annual receipts of $6.5 million or less;

2. For an entity engaged in manufacturing, having an annual average of no more than 500 employees;

3. For a government jurisdiction, not including publicly supported educational institutions, having no more than 50,000 residents in the jurisdiction;

4. For a publicly supported educational institution, having no more than 50,000 faculty, staff, and students; and

5. For an educational institution that is not publicly supported, having no more than 500 faculty and staff.

F. A licensee who seeks to establish status as a small entity for the purpose of paying an annual fee in Table 13.2, rather than the annual fee in Table 13.1, shall file with the Department a certification statement annually on Department Form 333, accessed through the Department website at https://azdhs.gov/documents/licensing/radiation-regulatory/forms/ram-small-entity-form.pdf, for each license under which the licensee is billed.

G. If a licensee qualifies as a small entity and provides the Department with the certification required in subsection (F), the licensee may pay the applicable reduced annual fee shown in Table 13.2. Failure to file a small entity certification, according to subsection (F), in a timely manner may result in the licensee being required to pay the applicable fee in Table 13.1.
