(a) A person who applies for registration and a permit to operate as a CAR under this chapter shall pay a $100 annual registration fee with the application for each control area.

(b) Except as provided in (c) of this section, a CAR shall pay, with the application for a control area, a preliminary permit fee that is equal to $0.0046 per gallon, multiplied by the total number of gallons of gasoline sold by the CAR within that control area during the preceding November 1 through March 1.

(c) If a CAR had no gasoline sales in a control area during the preceding November 1 through March 1, the CAR shall pay, with the application for that control area, a preliminary permit fee that is equal to $0.0046 per gallon, multiplied by the total number of gallons of gasoline estimated to be sold by the CAR within that control area during the upcoming control period.

(d) On or before May 1, for each application for which a fee is payable under (b) or (c) of this section, a CAR shall pay to the department a final permit fee that is equal to $0.0046 per gallon, multiplied by the total number of gallons of oxygenated gasoline sold by the CAR for use within the applicable control area during the control period that just ended, minus the preliminary fee paid under (b) or (c) of this section. If the preliminary fee is greater than the amount determined under this subsection, no additional fee is due and the department will refund the excess fees paid by July 15.

(e) By July 15, the department will refund fees in excess of those required to cover the cost of implementing the requirements of this chapter. Fees will be refunded on a pro rata basis, in direct proportion to the CAR's percentage contribution to the total fees collected.
