Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 7:26-16.13 - Annual solid waste license approval renewal; fees

(a) Every business concern of any type subject to the disclosure requirements of P.L. 1983, c.392 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-126 et seq.) shall submit, upon initial filing and annually thereafter, a fee to the Attorney General to cover the expenses incurred by any State agency in the performance of enforcing P.L. 1983, c.392 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-126 et seq.), reviewing disclosure statements, post-licensing compliance monitoring, including special investigations, conducting investigations to verify claims of exemption from A-901, conducting pre-licensing investigations, securing confidential documents, maintenance, and other functions in the administration and performance of duties by the Department pursuant to P.L. 1983, c.391 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-126 et seq.). For purposes of this subsection, "State agency" means any State department, division, agency commission or authority. The A-901 annual fee shall be $ 600.00 per each individual required to be listed in the disclosure statement (other than a non-supervisory employee required to be listed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.4(a)9 ) or who is otherwise shown to have a beneficial interest in the business of the applicant, permittee or licensee, in addition to a per-company fee to be calculated as follows:

1. Business concerns with one individual required to be listed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.3 and 16.4 shall pay an annual per-company fee of $ 635.00;

2. Business concerns with two or three individuals required to be listed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.3 and 16.4 shall pay an annual per-company fee of $ 1,775;

3. Business concerns with four to seven individuals required to be listed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.3 and 16.4 shall pay an annual per-company fee of $ 5,150; and

4. Business concerns with more than seven individuals required to be listed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.3 and 16.4 shall pay an annual per-company fee of $ 15,650.

(b) The applicant, permittee or licensee shall calculate the amount of each fee due and submit to the Division of Law a check for the total fee amount, made payable to "Treasurer--State of New Jersey." An application or disclosure statement will not be accepted as complete for filing unless accompanied by the appropriate fee payment.

(c) If on the basis of investigation, the Department or the Attorney General determines that a person not listed on the disclosure statement should have been listed thereon, or that a person not listed on the disclosure statement otherwise has a beneficial interest in the business of the applicant, permittee or licensee, the Department may require the payment of additional fees along with the submission of additional information, including a Personal History Disclosure Form, pertaining to that person. The applicant, permittee or licensee shall pay such additional fees promptly upon demand. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as limiting the power of the Department to deny or revoke a license if the Department finds the omission of a person from the disclosure statement was intended to mislead or conceal information from the Department.

(d) If a business concern subject to P.L. 1983, c.392 (N.J.S.A. 13:1E-126 et seq.) files a change of information pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.6, and discloses thereon an individual not listed in the disclosure statement information (including any amendments) currently on file with the Department, the business concern shall pay additional fees of $ 600.00 to the Attorney General per each individual so disclosed (other than a non-supervisory employee required to be listed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.4(a)9 ). Checks are to be made payable to "Treasurer--State of New Jersey." Individuals disclosed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.6 shall be considered to be additions to previously disclosed individuals for the purpose of calculating the per-company portion of the fee. Business concerns shall be required to pay the difference between a lower and higher per-company fee where newly disclosed individuals bring the total number of disclosed individuals to a level requiring a higher fee pursuant to (a) above.

(e) All individuals or business concerns required to be disclosed pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26-16.4(a)1 and 2 as holding any equity in or debt liability of the original business concern filing the disclosure statement shall be considered to be additions to the original business concern filing the disclosure statement for the purposes of fee calculation.

(f) Where business concerns file disclosure statements concurrently as a group pursuant to N.J.A.C 7:26-16.3(e), for the purposes of fee calculation under this section the group shall be treated as a single applicant, permittee or licensee, and fees shall be calculated on the basis of the total number of individuals required to be listed in all of the disclosure statements filed by members of the group. Individuals whose names appear on more than one disclosure statement shall be counted only once for purposes of fee calculation.
