Nevada Administrative Code › Chapter 459 - Hazardous Materials › CERTIFICATION OF LABORATORIES TO ANALYZE WASTE SAMPLES › Miscellaneous Provisions › Section 459.96986 - Fees for certification

Current through June 11,
				  2024
1. Except as
				  otherwise provided in subsection 2, a laboratory must submit an annual fee of
				  $500 with each application for certification.
2. A laboratory which only performs analysis
				  for microbiology is not required to pay the fee provided pursuant to subsection
				  1.
3. In addition to the fee
				  required pursuant to the provisions of subsections 1 and 4, a laboratory must
				  submit an annual certification fee for each category of contaminant for which
				  certification is requested. The categories of contaminants and annual fees are:

4.
				  In addition to the fees required pursuant to the provisions of subsections 1
				  and 3, if a laboratory applies for certification for a contaminant in more than
				  two of the approved methods of testing for that contaminant, the laboratory
				  must submit a fee of $200 for each additional approved method of
				  testing.
5. If a laboratory applies
				  for certification for additional contaminants after the laboratory has been
				  issued a certification for an annual period of certification, the fee for
				  certification for each additional contaminant is the fee provided for that
				  contaminant pursuant to the provisions of subsection 3. The fee must be
				  prorated pursuant to subsection 6 if the provisions of that subsection
				  otherwise apply. If the Division conducts an evaluation for certification at
				  the laboratory, the laboratory must pay, at the rate provided for state
				  officers and employees generally, the actual travel and per diem expenses of
				  the Division. If the laboratory is located outside of this State, the expenses
				  must be paid pursuant to the provisions of subsection 7.
6. The fees are effective for 12 months
				  beginning on August 1 of each year. If an application for certification to test
				  for an analyte is submitted during that period, the fees for that certification
				  must be prorated using the following formula:
Fee X .083 X the number of
				  months remaining in the period of certification.
For the purpose
				  of prorating fees, an application for certification to test for an analyte
				  shall be deemed to have been submitted at the beginning of a month regardless
				  of the date of the application. The prorated fee must be rounded to the next
				  highest dollar. The fee provided pursuant to the provisions of subsection 1
				  must not be prorated.
7. If
				  an evaluation for certification of a laboratory that is located outside of this
				  State is conducted, the laboratory must pay the actual travel and per diem
				  expenses of the employee of the Division who conducts the evaluation.
8. The fee for certification to test for a
				  specific analyte must be paid before a certificate for that analyte may be
				  issued.
9. Any fee paid pursuant to
				  the provisions of this section is nonrefundable.
