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.
