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) |
