### § 33.1-10-11-03. Exemptions.

No application fees, license fees, amendment fees, renewal fees, or special project fees, shall be
required for:
1. A license authorizing the use of source material as shielding only in devices and containers
provided; however, that all other licensed byproduct material, naturally occurring or
accelerator-produced radioactive material, source material, or special nuclear material in the
device or container will be subject to the fees prescribed in appendix A of this chapter.
2. Nonprofit educational institutions are exempt from the fees prescribed in appendices A and B
of this chapter. This exemption does not apply to those radioactive material licenses or
machine registration certificates which authorize any of the following:
a. Human use.
b. Remunerated services to other persons.
c. Distribution of byproduct material, naturally occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive
material, source material, or special nuclear material, or products containing byproduct
material, naturally occurring or accelerator-produced radioactive material, source
material, or special nuclear material.
d. Activities performed under a government contract.

3. The department may, upon application by an interested person, or upon its own initiative,
grant such exemptions from the requirements of this chapter as it determines are authorized
by law and are otherwise in the public interest.

### § 33.1-10-11-04. Payment of fees.

The following fees are nonrefundable:
1. License and registration fees. The appropriate licensing or registration fee shall accompany
the application for licensure or registration when filed with the department. For new radioactive
material licenses, the application fee is equal to the appropriate annual fee.
2. Amendment fees. The amendment fee given in appendix A category 24 shall accompany the
application for amendment when filed with the department.
3. Reciprocity fee. The appropriate reciprocity fee shall accompany the written notification as
required in chapters 33.1-10-03.1 and 33.1-10-02.
4. Special project fees. Fees for special projects are payable upon notification by the
department when the review of the project is completed. Special projects mean those projects
submitted to the department for review and for which specific fees are not prescribed in this
chapter. Special project fees will be based upon the current professional staff hourly rate
(thirty-three percent of the current nuclear regulatory commission rate listed in 10 CFR 170).
5. Annual fees. Annual fees are required to be paid by all radioactive material licensees no later
than January first of each year the license is active, except that the annual fee due on January
first of the year following the issuance of a new license shall be prorated to the number of
months the license was in effect the first calendar year (example: for a new license issued in
May the annual fee due January first would be seven-twelfths [June-December] of the annual
fee listed in appendix A).
6. Inspection and survey fees. Fees for regulatory inspections and surveys of North Dakota
licensees are included in the registration or annual fees for each registration or license type.
Nonroutine inspections will require the nonroutine inspection fee to be paid upon notification
by the department when the inspection has been completed.
7. Annual fees for small entities. If a licensee qualifies as a small entity and provides the
department with the proper certification, the small entity fee of sixty percent of the applicable
annual fee listed in appendix A shall be paid.
a. "Small business" means a business entity, including its affiliates, which:
(1) Is independently owned and operated; and
(2) Employs fewer than twenty-five full-time employees or has gross annual sales of
less than two million five hundred thousand dollars;
b. "Small entity" includes small business, small organization, and small political subdivision;
c. "Small organization" means any not-for-profit enterprise that is independently owned and
operated and is not dominant in its field;
d. "Small political subdivision" means a political subdivision with a population of less than
five thousand;

e. A licensee who seeks to establish status as a small entity for purposes of paying the fees
required under this chapter shall file a certification statement with the department. The
licensee shall:
(1) Certify, on the business's letterhead, that the business meets the conditions in this
subsection;
(2) Sign the certification as the chief executive officer of the business or as an official
designee; and
(3) Have the certification notarized.
f. A licensee who seeks to qualify as a small entity shall submit the certification with the
reduced annual fee payment; and
g. For purposes of this chapter, the licensee shall submit a new certification with its annual
fee payment each year.
8. Method of payment. Fee payments shall be by check, draft, or money order made payable to
the department of environmental quality.
9. Submittal of application and fee payment. The application for licensure or registration shall
be accompanied by the fee payment and shall be submitted to:
