				  estimated construction supervision and inspection costs.
(b) The Department shall charge an initial
				  application fee to process and review an encroachment permit to use the
				  Department's right-of-way. The initial application fee will be credited towards
				  the total cost incurred by the Department to administer, review, and issue an

				  right-of-way. Department processing and review costs that exceed the initial
				  application fee will be billed to the applicant with periodic invoicing
				  reflecting the application processing and review costs as of the date of the
				  invoice. The Department will suspend processing of an encroachment permit if
				  these invoices are not paid.

				  the actual inspection costs exceed the estimated costs, any additional costs
				  shall be paid by the applicant. If the actual costs are less than the estimated
				  costs, the Department shall refund to the permittee the difference. A refund
