(a) (1) The state board may adopt a schedule of fees to cover all or a portion of the state board’s reasonable costs associated with the certification, audit, and compliance of off-road or nonvehicular engines and equipment, aftermarket parts, and emissions control components sold in the state, as authorized pursuant to Sections 38560, 43013, and 43018 of this code and subdivision (h) of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code. For purposes of this paragraph, “reasonable costs” does not include the state board’s costs recovered in a fee assessed pursuant to Section 43019.
(2) For a certification not subject to a fee assessed by the state board pursuant to Section 43019, the state board may adopt a fee to cover all, or a portion of, the state board’s reasonable costs associated with each type of certification described in paragraph (1), to be paid by the entity seeking the certification. The state board may assess a fee at the time of application and upon certification to spread the financial burden to entities remitting the fee.
(b) In adopting a schedule of fees pursuant to subdivision (a), the state board shall work with impacted industries and consider all of the following:
(1) Potential impacts on manufacturers that may result from the fee.
(2) Size of the manufacturer compared to the industry average served by the product on which the fee will be assessed.
(3) Number of certifications requested and consistency with prior year certifications by the manufacturer.
(4) Complexity of the regulated category for which a certification is requested.
(5) A product’s potential impact on emissions, and the complexity of the evaluation required, including, for an aftermarket part, determining there is no risk to the environment when the aftermaket part is in actual use.
(6) Anticipated change in the number of certifications issued annually.
(7) Potential impacts for enacting a partial fee that does not fully cover the state board’s costs for activities associated with certification, including the impacts on the processing time for certification.
(c) All fees collected pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the Certification and Compliance Fund, created pursuant to Section 43019.2.
