N.J. Admin. Code § 7:18-2.9 - Fees
(a) A laboratory applying for an initial or
renewal certification or for modification of a certification shall include with
the application the fees required under this section. Fees are not
refundable.
(b) The fee schedule is
set forth below. To calculate the fee for a given service, add the fee for the
administrative activity and the fee for each category affected by the
application. For example, if a laboratory seeks an initial certification in
category DW01, the fee would be the sum of $ 900.00 (the administrative
activity fee) and $ 540.00 (the category fee), for a total of $ 1,440. For
NELAP laboratories, the NELAP Supplemental Fee must also be included in the
total.

(c)
If a laboratory seeks to modify its certification as part of a renewal
application under
7:18-2.7(b), the
laboratory need not pay the fee for "Administrative Activities-Request for
modification in certified, applied or interim approval status." The fee shall
be the sum of the following:
1. The fee for
"Administrative Activities-Renewal Application Fee for Certification";
and
2. The fee for each category
for which the laboratory seeks to renew certification, or seeks to add
certification. If the laboratory seeks to delete a category from its
certification, the fee for that category shall not be included in the total
fee.
(d) If a
laboratory's application for certification is pending as of July 1 in a given
year and it has not completed all of the requirements for certification by that
date, the laboratory shall pay the Administrative Activities - Renewal
Application Fee described in (b) above by July 1, but is not required to pay
the fee for the category or categories in which certification is pending. If
the laboratory becomes certified in such a category after July 1, it shall pay
the fee for the category, pro-rated for the number of months (including any
part of a month) remaining until the following July 1. The laboratory shall pay
this fee within 30 days after the laboratory becomes certified. For example, if
a laboratory applies for certification in Category DW01 on October 1, 2015, but
does not become certified in that category until September 15, 2016, it shall
pay fees as follows:
1. On October 1, 2015, $
900.00 for the initial application fee and $ 540.00 for the category;
2. On July 1, 2016, $ 600.00 for the renewal
application fee; and
3. Within 30
days after September 15, 2016, $ 450.00 representing the $ 540.00 category fee
pro-rated for 10 months.
(e) Environmental laboratories applying for
or renewing certification for a similar technology in more than one of the
following combined categories are eligible for a reduced fee:
1. Microbiological parameters, Categories
DW01, NPW01, and/or SCM01: $ 1,026;
2. Analyze-Immediately and Continuous
Monitoring Categories DW04 and NPW04: $ 376.00;
3. Metal Categories DW06, NPW07, and/or
SCM06: $ 1,026;
4. Metals - ICP,
ICP/MS, and DCP Categories DW07, NPW08, and/or SCM07: $ 1,596; and
5. Radon in Water, Categories DW11 and NPW14:
$ 703.00.
(f) If the
Department conducts an on-site audit of an out-of-State environmental
laboratory, the laboratory shall be responsible for payment of the costs
incurred by the certification inspector, in accordance with the following:
1. The direct cost of overnight
accommodations, transportation, meals, miscellaneous expenses, and, if the
laboratory is located outside the United States, expenses resulting from
foreign currency exchanges, as follows:
i.
The laboratory shall pay the certification inspector's lodging and
transportation expenses directly to the hotel and transportation provider in
advance of the on-site audit.
ii.
If the Department pays the costs identified in (f)1 above, the laboratory shall
reimburse the Department within 30 calendar days after the date of the
Department's statement to the laboratory, setting forth the costs.
iii. If the certification inspector pays the
costs identified in (f)1 above, the laboratory shall reimburse the
certification inspector directly, within 30 calendar days after the date the
certification inspector presents the laboratory with receipts or other evidence
of costs incurred. A receipt or other evidence of costs incurred shall not be
required for meals. The laboratory shall reimburse the certification inspector
for meals in accordance with the applicable Federal per diem rates.
2. The costs paid by the
laboratory under (f)1 above shall be only those incurred by the certification
inspector in accordance with State and Federal travel policies, including, but
not limited to, motor vehicle mileage reimbursement, and allowances for meals,
incidental expenses, and per diem.
3. When an overnight stay is necessary in
order for the certification inspector to conduct an audit, the Department shall
calculate and assess the Travel Assessment Fee in (b) above for the
certification inspector's travel time to and from the laboratory, not to exceed
seven hours per inspector per travel day. Travel time is measured from the time
the inspector leaves his or her home until the time he or she arrives at either
the hotel or the laboratory, whichever is first. The Department shall provide
the laboratory with a statement specifying the calculated Travel Assessment
Fee. Within 30 calendar days after the date of the statement, the laboratory
shall remit to the Department the fee specified on the statement. The Travel
Assessment Fee shall be in addition to any other fees or expenses payable in
accordance with 7:18-2.9
.
(g) If the
Department purchases PT samples for a laboratory, the laboratory shall
reimburse the Department for the actual cost that the Department incurs to
purchase the PT samples. The Department shall provide the laboratory with an
invoice specifying the costs incurred. Within 30 calendar days after the date
of the invoice, the laboratory shall remit to the Department the amount
specified on the invoice.
