(a) Each year, a person operating an in-state natural gas pipeline under this chapter shall pay to the commission a regulatory cost charge if the pipeline for which the charge is assessed is subject to this chapter and the commission has taken action on the pipeline or certificate under this chapter during the prior fiscal year. The amount of the regulatory cost charge may not exceed the sum of the following percentages of gross revenue derived from operations in the state: (1) 0.7 percent to fund the operations of the commission; and (2) 0.17 percent to fund operations of the public advocacy function under AS 42.04.070(c) and AS 44.23.020(e) in the Department of Law. (b) The commission shall by regulation establish a method to determine annually the amount of the regulatory cost charge that will apply to a pipeline regulated under this chapter. If the amount the commission expects to collect under (a) of this section, AS 42.05.254(a), and AS 42.06.286(a) exceeds the authorized budgets of the commission and the Department of Law public advocacy function under AS 42.04.070(c) and AS 44.23.020(e), the commission shall, by order, reduce the percentage determined under a regulation adopted under this subsection so that the total amount of the fees collected approximately equals the authorized budgets of the commission and the Department of Law public advocacy function under AS 42.04.070(c) and AS 44.23.020(e) for the fiscal year. (c) The commission shall administer the charge imposed under this section. The Department of Revenue shall collect and enforce the charge imposed under this section. The Department of Administration shall identify the amount of the operating budgets of the commission and the Department of Law public advocacy function under AS 42.04.070(c) and AS 44.23.020(e) that lapses into the general fund each year. The legislature may appropriate an amount equal to the lapsed amount to the commission and to the Department of Law public advocacy function under AS 42.04.070(c) and AS 44.23.020(e) for operating costs for the next fiscal year. If the legislature does so, the commission shall reduce the total regulatory cost charge collected for that fiscal year by a comparable amount. (d) The commission may adopt regulations under AS 44.62 (Administrative Procedure Act) necessary to administer this section, including procedures and requirements for reporting information and a requirement for paying the regulatory cost charge in quarterly payments. The Department of Revenue may adopt regulations under AS 44.62 (Administrative Procedure Act) for investigating the accuracy of filed information and for collecting required payments.
