In addition to the fees charged pursuant to R.S. 30:2014, a fee shall be charged for each application for a permit, modification, license, registration, or variance that is processed on an expedited basis in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. 1. An appropriate fee shall be computed based on the maximum per hour overtime salary, including associated related benefits, of the civil service employee of the department who performs the work.2. The fee shall be computed by multiplying the salary figure from Paragraph A.1 of this Section by every overtime hour or portion thereof that a department employee or contractor works on expedited processing of the application for a permit, modification, license, registration, or variance.3. The applicant may request that the expedited permit processing fee not exceed a maximum amount.

If further processing of the application is required, the department's continued review will not follow the provisions of this Chapter, and the request will no longer be handled on an expedited basis, unless the applicant agrees in writing to pay the expedited fees required to complete the expedited processing of the permit action.B. In the event that the administrative authority ceases processing an application for a permit, modification, license, registration, or variance in accordance with LAC 33:I.1803.D.3 or Paragraph A.3 of this Section, a fee will be charged for every overtime hour or portion thereof that a department employee or contractor worked on expedited processing of the subject application for a permit, modification, license, registration, or variance.La.
