The
inclusion

not
constitute
agreement
with

the
explanation’s
substance
by

27
This
bill
provides
for
fees
established
by
the
environmental
28
protection
commission
(commission)
and
imposed
and
collected
by
29
the
department
of
natural
resources
(DNR)
under
division
II
of
30
Code
chapter
455B,
relating
to
regulations
on
air
quality
and
31
closely
associated
with
the
federal
Clean
Air
Act.
The
bill
32
relates
to
the
current
fee
imposed
upon
regulated
pollutants
33
(Code
section
455B.133(8)),
including
under
the
operating
34
permit
program.
It
also
provides
for
the
establishment
of
35
-11-
LSB
2577HV
(3)
86
da/nh
11/
13
H.F.
640
a
new
operating
permit
application
fee.
Both
of
these
fees
1
are
to
be
credited
to
newly
created
accounts
within
the
2
existing
air
contaminant
source
fund
created
in
Code
section
3
455B.133B,
the
air
emission
fee
account
and
the
operating
4
permit
application
fee
account.
5
In
addition,
the
bill
provides
for
three
other
new
fees:
for
6
accepting
applications
for
new
source
review
permits
submitted
7
by
major
sources;
accepting
applications
submitted
by
minor
air
8
contaminant
sources
for
construction
permits
or
for
providing
9
for
registrations,
permits
by
rule,
or
template
permits
in
10
lieu
of
obtaining
construction
permits
under
minor
source
11
new
source
review
programs;
and
for
accepting
notifications
12
involving
demolition
or
renovation
projects
associated
with
13
asbestos.
These
new
fees
are
to
be
credited
to
each
of
three
14
corresponding
accounts
established
within
a
new
air
quality
15
fund,
including
the
major
source
account,
the
minor
source
16
account,
and
the
asbestos
account.
17
The
bill
provides
that
if
the
commission
establishes
a
fee,
18
it
must
also
establish
a
fee
amount
based
on
DNR’s
calculated
19
estimate
of
total
revenues
from
the
fee
predicted
to
be
20
credited
to
the
corresponding
account
sufficient
to
provide
for
21
the
reasonable
direct
and
indirect
costs
of
implementing
and
22
administering
regulations
associated
with
that
fee
during
the
23
state
fiscal
year,
but
not
to
exceed
a
ceiling
amount.
DNR
24
must
recompute
its
calculated
estimate
prior
to
each
state
25
fiscal
year
(July
1
through
June
30)
and
obtain
approval
26
from
the
commission
if
an
established
fee
amount
must
be
27
adjusted
for
the
next
state
fiscal
year.
In
addition,
DNR
must
28
annually
convene
stakeholder
meetings
at
which
invitees
make
29
recommendations
regarding
the
DNR’s
required
annual
computation
30
of
a
fee
amount
to
be
credited
to
each
account.
Moneys
in
each
31
account
are
appropriated
to
DNR
to
provide
for
the
reasonable
32
direct
and
indirect
costs
of
implementing
and
administering
33
regulations
associated
with
that
account.

regulation
of
an
activity
that

the

Act.
It
also
prohibits
the
transfer
of
2
moneys
between
accounts
within
the
same
fund,
requires
that
the
3
unexpended
balance
in
an
account
of
the
fund
at
the
end
of
each
4
state

year
be
retained

and
requires
5
that
any
interest
and
earnings
on
investments
from
moneys
in
an
6
account
of
the
fund
shall
be
credited
to
that
account.
7
The
bill
allows
the
commission
to
establish
fees
to
be
8
credited
to
the
new
accounts
of
the
two
funds
on
or
after
9
January

It
also
provides
that
any
current
fees
in

effect
immediately
prior
to
the
bill’s
effective
date
are
to
11
remain
in

commission.
Finally,
12
moneys
remaining
in
the
air
contaminant
source
fund
on
the
13
effective
date
of
the
bill
are
to
be
