Universal Citation: MN Rules 7002.0035
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024
The annual fee target shall be set as described in items A and B.
A. The unadjusted fee target shall be the greater of the following:
(1)
the sum of:
(a) the amount directly
appropriated to the Air Quality Division from the environmental fund for that
fiscal year; and
(b) the Air
Quality Division's portion of the appropriation from the environmental fund to
the agency's general support program, as determined by using the indirect cost
allocation plan approved by the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget
under Minnesota Statutes, section
16A.127,
subdivision 4; or
(2)
the amount calculated by multiplying $25 per ton, adjusted for inflation since
1989, times the number of tons of each chargeable pollutant listed in the most
recently available emission inventory. No pollutant shall be double counted. A
maximum of 4,000 tons per pollutant per facility shall be used for this
calculation. The adjustment for inflation shall be in accordance with the
adjustment described in Minnesota Statutes, section
116.07,
subdivision 4d, paragraph (d).
B. The amounts described in item A must be adjusted as follows:
(1) if the agency failed
to collect its fee target the previous year, after making reasonable efforts to
do so, the shortfall must be added to the next year's fee target;
(2) if the agency collected more than its fee
target the previous year, the excess must be subtracted from the next year's
fee target; and
(3) for any year,
the commissioner may increase the fee target by up to five percent to reflect
the anticipated fee nonpayment rate. This increase must not be considered for
purposes of calculating a deficit under subitem (1).
