3. Except as
				  otherwise provided in subsection 4, in addition to the fees required pursuant
				  to the provisions of subsections 1 and 2, if a laboratory applies for
				  certification for an analyte in more than two of the approved methods of
				  testing for that analyte, the laboratory must submit a fee of $280 for each
				  additional approved method of testing.
4. For the annual period of certification
				  beginning on August 1, 2029, and for each annual period of certification
				  thereafter, the Director of the State Department of Conservation and Natural
				  Resources shall increase each fee set forth in this section by an amount that
				  is equal to 3 percent of the fee for the immediately preceding period of
				  certification. The Director may, for any individual annual period of
				  certification, suspend an increase in a fee specified in this
				  subsection.
5. The Director of the
				  State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources shall post on the
				  Internet website of the Division the fees required pursuant to this section
				  that are applicable for each annual certification period.
6. If a laboratory applies for certification
				  for additional analytes after the laboratory has been issued a certification
				  for an annual period of certification, the fee for certification for each
				  additional analyte is equal to the respective fee provided for that analyte
				  pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2. The fee must be prorated pursuant
				  to subsection 7, 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 laboratory must pay the actual
				  travel and per diem expenses of the employee of the Division who conducts the
				  evaluation.
7. 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 annual 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.
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.
