(a) The Department and the Attorney General shall establish and collect administrative fees for filing of an application for a certificate of public advantage based on the total cost of the project for which the application is made, in an amount not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), and an administrative fee for filing each periodic report required to be filed in an amount not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500). The fee schedule established should generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs of the program. An application filing fee must be paid to the Department at the time an application for a certificate of public advantage is submitted pursuant to G.S. 90-21.26. A periodic report filing fee must be paid to the Department at the time a periodic report is submitted to it pursuant to G.S. 90-21.32.
(b) If the Department or the Attorney General determines that consultants are needed to complete a review of an application, an additional application fee may be established by prior agreement with the applicants before the application is considered. The amount of the additional fee may not exceed the costs of contracting with the necessary consultants. The additional fee shall not be considered in determining whether an application fee exceeds the maximum application fee amount set in subsection (a) of this section. (1995, c. 395, s. 2.)
