To calculate inspection fees, the amperage is based on the
				  conductor ampacity or the overcurrent device rating. The total fee must not be
				  less than the number of progress inspection (one-half hour) units times the
				  progress inspection fee rate from subsection (8) of this section, PROGRESS
				  INSPECTIONS.
The amount of the fee due is calculated based on the fee
				  effective at the date of a department assessed fee (e.g., plan review or fee
				  due) or when the electrical permit is purchased.
