Safer Chemicals - Fee Structure Policy for Manufacturers of Regulated Products
Maine law 38 M.R.S. §§ 1691-1699-B and 06-096 C.M.R. ch. 881 authorizes the Department to collect fees from regulated entities reporting Priority Chemicals in products sold in Maine.
The Department’s fee structure starts with a base fee and then puts emphasis on the number of product categories and the number of units sold contained in a single report.
Base Fee: $100
| Dollar Amount | Number of Product Units Sold in Maine Reported |
|---|---|
| $50 | < 50,000 |
| $100 | 50,001 - 200,000 |
| $150 | 200,001 - 450,000 |
| $200 | 450,001 - 600,000 |
| $250 | 600,001 - 750,000 |
| $300 | > 750,000 |
Fee Calculation Formula
Base Fee + Dollar Amount for Number of Units Sold for Each Product Category = Fee
Example
Manufacturer Y Inc. reported Priority Chemical B in 5 product categories:
1 category reported for < 50,000 Units Sold: $50 * 1 category
4 categories reported for 125,000 Units Sold: $100 * 4 categories
4 categories reported for 125,000 Units Sold: $100 * 4 categories
Fee Calculation: Base $100 + $50 + $400 = $550 Fee
