Section 7:1C-10.3 - Fee calculation

(a) By December 1 of the first full year after April 17, 2023, the Department shall calculate base EJIS submission fees for the upcoming fiscal year (July 1 through June 30), as follows:

1. The Department shall determine its EJIS review budget by determining the dollar amount needed to accomplish all tasks associated with administering the EJIS Review, including costs to provide technical assistance to permit applicants and overburdened communities as needed to comply with this chapter. The Department shall not include in its EJIS Review budget any costs associated with any other program areas within the Department's Environmental Justice Program that is funded by a source outside of the EJIS Review budget. The result shall be the total amount of revenue that is to be collected through EJIS submission fees.

2. The Department shall calculate the EJIS submission fee by dividing the EJIS review revenue calculated pursuant to (a) above by the number of EJIS submissions received by the Department in the prior calendar year.

(b) For each fiscal year after April 17, 2023, the Department shall prepare an EJIS Program Fee Calculation Report based on the prior calendar year data, including the information contained in the annual budget submission to the Department of the Treasury, and the numbers of EJIS applications, and the EJIS submission fee that shall be due and payable for that calendar year. Beginning March 2024, and each March thereafter, the Department shall publish in the New Jersey Register, a notice that includes a summary of the report and its EJIS Review budget. The Department shall also post this report on its website.

(c) Through April 17, 2024, the initial fee shall be $3,900 per EJIS reviewed.
