Oklahoma Administrative Code
Title 252 - Department of Environmental Quality
Chapter 301 - Laboratory Accreditation
Subchapter 1 - General Provisions
Section 252:301-1-9 - Fees
Current through Vol. 41, No. 13, March 15, 2024
(a) Applicable fees. The following fees apply:
(b) Renewal. Fees to renew accreditation consist of the renewal application fee and the applicable category fee.
(c) Public water supply system fee exemption. There is no laboratory accreditation fee for public water supply systems that pay the minimum annual public water supply regulatory service rate fee in accordance with 27A O.S. § 2-6-306.
(d) Annual fee adjustment. To assist in meeting rising costs to the DEQ of the environmental services and regulatory programs associated with the laboratory accreditation program, the fees set out in this Section shall be automatically adjusted on July 1 st every year to correspond to the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the most recent calendar year exceeds the CPI for the previous calendar year. The DEQ may round the adjusted fees up to the nearest dollar. The DEQ may waive collection of an automatic increase in a given year if it determines other revenues, including appropriated state general revenue funds, have increased sufficiently to make the funds generated by the automatic adjustment unnecessary in that year. A waiver does not affect future automatic adjustments.
(e) An On-site evaluation fee shall be calculated at actual cost, not to exceed $10,000 per individual laboratory, and includes but is not limited to the following: assessor(s) time and labor (preliminary document review, total travel, time-on-site, report preparation, and corrective action review), transportation, per diem (if required), as described in 252:301-5-4. The on-site evaluation will be invoiced at the closing of the evaluation.
