Section 252:4-1-7 - Fee credits for regulatory fees

(a) The Executive Director may authorize Divisions of the DEQ which have programs that collect recurring fees to apply a credit towards certain future invoices for those fees. The credit must be applied only within the program from which the carryover fees are derived. Only the amount that is projected to exceed three months of funding beyond the upcoming budget year for that program can be credited. A summary of any credit applied shall be reported to the Environmental Quality Board. For a credit to be applied:

(1) there must be a projected balance in the fee account carried over from the previous year;

(2) the credit must be distributable pro rata among the fee payers;

(3) the credit must be large enough to justify its administrative cost; and

(4) the Division must be unaware of a longer-range need, such as match for a superfund clean-up project.

(b) The DEQ shall explain on the invoices that a carryover exists and that an identified one-time credit is being applied.
