B. Illustrative examples.
1. Example 1. The applicant is submitting an application for nutrient credit certification of a nutrient credit-generating project that will generate perpetual credits. The number of potential perpetual credits calculated is 150. The required fee is calculated as follows:
Base fee
$3,000
Supplementary fee for 150 perpetual P credits
+$7,000
Total fee
= $10,000
2. Example 2. The applicant is submitting an application for nutrient credit certification of a nutrient credit-generating project that generated credits with a five-year term. The number of potential nutrient credits calculated is 275. The required fee is calculated as follows:
Base fee
$3,000
Supplementary fee for 1 to 100 credits
+(100*5*$4)=$2,000
Supplementary fee for 101 to 200 credits
+(100*5*$3)=$1,500
Supplementary fee for 201 to 275 credits
+ (75*5*$2)= $750
Total fee
= $7,250
3. Example 3. The applicant is submitting a renewal application for annual credits generated at a nutrient credit-generating project for a five-year term. The number of annual credits being renewed for another term is 165. The required fee is calculated as follows:
Base fee
$1,000
Supplementary fee for 1 to 100 credits
+(100*5*$4)=$2,000
Supplementary fee for 101 to 200 credits
+(65*5*$3)=$975
Total fee
= $3,975
4. Example 4. The applicant is submitting an application for nutrient credit certification of a nutrient credit-generating project that generates credits with a five-year term. The number of potential nutrient credits calculated is 1000. The required fee is calculated as follows:
Base fee
$3,000
Supplementary fee for 1 to 100 credits
+(100*5*$4)=$2,000
Supplementary fee for 101 to 200 credits
+(100*5*$3)=$1,500
Supplementary fee for 201 to 300 credits
+(100*5*$2)=$1,000
Supplementary fee for 301 to 1000 credits
+(700*5*$1)=$3,500
Total
Total fee
= $11,000
= $10,000 (fee cannot exceed $10,000)
