Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. In addition to
				  the fees charged pursuant to LAC 43:XIX.703 or successor regulations, a fee
				  shall be charged for each application for a permit, modification, order,
				  license, registration, or variance that is processed on an expedited basis in
				  accordance with this Chapter.
1. A total
				  estimated cost for the expedited processing shall be computed by the
				  commissioner based upon the estimated number of expedited processing hours
				  required to complete the administrative review and/or permitting process
				  multiplied times the hourly overtime salary of the applicable Office of
				  Conservation employees or the hourly rate of applicable contractors, including
				  associated related benefits, plus an administrative fee of twenty percent of
				  the total costs. The overtime salary of the Office of Conservation employees
				  shall be the normal hourly wage times one and one-half.
a. Prior to commencement of the expedited
				  application process, the applicant shall deposit with the Office of
				  Conservation no less than 50 percent of the estimated cost provided to the
				  applicant computed in Paragraph A.1 of this Section. All costs associated with
				  the expedited review, including overtime wages, hourly contractor wages,
				  associated related benefits paid, and the administrative fee, will be deducted
				  from the credited amount as incurred.
b. The required amount to be deposited with
				  the Office of Conservation in order to initiate the expedited application
				  process will be determined on a case-by-case basis considering the type of
				  application, estimated length of review, available resources, compliance
				  history of the applicant, and any other factors considered pertinent by the
				  commissioner.
c. When the
				  applicants credited deposit reaches less than 10 percent of the total cost
				  estimated in accordance with Paragraph A.1 of this Section, or when otherwise
				  required by the commissioner, the applicant will be notified, invoiced, and
				  shall deposit with the Office of Conservation the remaining estimated required
				  sum to complete the expedited application process.
d. If the applicants credited deposits are
				  exhausted before the expedited application process is completed, additional
				  funds will be required to continue the review on an expedited basis.
e. If it is determined after an application
				  decision is rendered that the applicant owes funds in addition to that
				  previously deposited in accordance with this Section, an invoice will be
				  issued, and the applicant will pay the balance due to the Office of
				  Conservation within 20 days.
f.
				  Any funds remaining to the credit of the applicant upon completion of the
				  expedited application process will be refunded within 30 days.

				  a decision to grant expedited application processing.
1. An invoice for continued expedited
				  application processing shall be transmitted to the applicant when it is
				  determined by the commissioner that additional funds are needed to complete the
				  review and application process.
2.
				  If it is determined that the applicant owes additional funds after a decision
				  on the application has been rendered, an invoice shall be transmitted to the
				  applicant for the outstanding balance owed.
3. Each invoice shall be accompanied by the
				  Office of Conservations detailed calculation of the amount owed and, if the
				  invoice is for additional funds, by the Office of Conservations detailed
				  calculation of the expedited processing funds previously spent.

1. Separate notice of expedited
				  processing shall be provided in the same form and manner of public notice as
				  required by other statute or rule for each application type, or if no public

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The altitude above average natural ground
				  elevation for all aerial photography shall be such that the photographic
				  negatives produced for each respective area classification shall conform to the
				  minimum scale requirements specified within these standards.
B. Aerial photography for planimetric maps
				  which are developed to depict horizontal features only may be flown at higher
				  (more compressed) negative scale altitudes to reduce cost.
C. Aerial photography for topographic maps
				  which are developed to depict both horizontal and vertical features must be
				  flown at lower (more expanded) negative scale altitudes to facilitate accurate
				  compilation.
D. The following
				  schedules specify the minimum required photographic negative scales for each
				  respective area classification based upon the type of mapping (planimetric or
				  topographic) to be developed. The negative scales shown are subject to
				  enlargement based upon specific project requirements. Any negatives deviating
