10.13 	ammonia" are used interchangeably and mean a compound formed by the chemical 
10.14 	combinations of the elements nitrogen and hydrogen in the molar proportion of one 
10.15 	part nitrogen to three parts hydrogen. This relationship is shown by the chemical 
10.16 	formula, NH3. On a weight basis, the ratio is 14 parts nitrogen to three parts hydrogen 
10.17 	or approximately 82 percent nitrogen to 18 percent hydrogen. Ammonia may exist in 
10.18 	either a gaseous or a liquid state. Ammonia or anhydrous ammonia does not include 
10.19 	aqua ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, which are solutions of ammonia in water and 
10.20 	are sometimes called "ammonia."

10.21 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 18C.111, is amended by adding a subdivision

10.25 	perform a regulatory compliance inspection of any person or site that stores, handles, or 
10.26 	distributes ammonia or anhydrous ammonia fertilizer.
10.27 	(b) Pursuant to that rule, a person certified under paragraph (a) may issue a 
10.28 	certification of compliance to an inspected person or site if the certified person documents 
10.29 	in writing full compliance with the provisions of chapter 18C and rules adopted under 
10.30 	that chapter.
10.31 	(c) A person or site issued a certification of compliance must provide a copy of the 
10.32 	certification to the commissioner immediately upon request or within 90 days following 
10.33 	certification.
11.1 	(d) Certifications of compliance are valid for a period of three years. The

11.3 	other reasonable cause.

11.4 	Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 18C.131, is amended to read:
11.5 	18C.131 FERTILIZER INSPECTION ACCOUNT.
11.6 	A fertilizer inspection account is established in the state treasury. The fees and 
11.7 	surcharges collected under this chapter and interest attributable to money in the account 
11.8 	must be deposited in the state treasury and credited to the fertilizer inspection account in 
11.9 	the agricultural fund. Money in the account, including interest earned, is appropriated to 
11.10 	the commissioner for the administration and enforcement of this chapter.

11.11 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 18C.425, is amended by adding a subdivision

11.13 		Subd. 7.Payment of anhydrous ammonia public safety surcharge. The person 
11.14 	responsible for payment of the inspection fees under subdivision 6 must also pay an 
11.15 	anhydrous ammonia public safety surcharge of 75 cents per ton, with a minimum of $10 on 
11.16 	all tonnage reports. Ammonia or anhydrous ammonia sold or distributed to manufacturers 
11.17 	or exchanges between them are exempt from the surcharge imposed by this subdivision if 
11.18 	the ammonia or anhydrous ammonia is used exclusively for manufacturing purposes.

11.19 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 18D.201, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
11.20 		Subd. 5.Violator liable for inspection costs. (a) The cost of reinspection and 
11.21 	reinvestigation may be assessed by the commissioner if the person subject to the corrective 
11.22 	action order or remedial action order does not comply with the order in a reasonable time 
11.23 	as provided in the order.
11.24 	(b) A $400 reinspection fee may be assessed by the commissioner for a person or

12.5 	(b) The commissioner must consider the compliance history, enforcement record, 
12.6 	and other public safety or environmental risk factors in determining the eligibility of a 
12.7 	person or site for the reduced frequency of inspection described in paragraph (a). If the 
12.8 	commissioner determines that a person or site is ineligible, the commissioner must notify 
12.9 	the person or site of that ineligibility and the reasons for that determination.
12.10 	(c) The compliance findings of the commissioner's inspection of a person or site that

12.14 	Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 18E.03, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
12.15 		Subd. 4.Fee. (a) The response and reimbursement fee consists of the surcharges and 
12.16 	any adjustments made by the commissioner in this subdivision and shall be collected by 
12.17 	the commissioner. The amount of the response and reimbursement fee shall be determined 
12.18 	and imposed annually by the commissioner as required to satisfy the requirements in 
12.19 	subdivision 3. The commissioner shall adjust the amount of the surcharges imposed in 
12.20 	proportion to the amount of the surcharges listed in this subdivision. License application 
12.21 	categories under paragraph (d) must be charged in proportion to the amount of surcharges 
12.22 	imposed up to a maximum of 50 percent of the license fees set under chapters 18B and 
12.23 	18C.
12.24 	(b) The commissioner shall impose a surcharge on pesticides registered under 
12.25 	chapter 18B to be collected as a surcharge on the gross sales under section 18B.26, 
12.26 	subdivision 3, that is equal to 0.1 percent of sales of the pesticide in the state and sales

12.28 	may not be imposed on pesticides that are sanitizers or disinfectants as determined by the 
12.29 	commissioner. No surcharge is required if the surcharge amount based on percent of 
12.30 	annual gross sales of a nonagricultural pesticide is less than $10. Sales of pesticides in 
12.31 	the state for use outside of the state are exempt from the surcharge in this paragraph if 
12.32 	the registrant, agricultural pesticide dealer, or pesticide dealer properly documents the 
12.33 	sale location and the distributors.
13.1 	(c) The commissioner shall impose a ten cents per ton surcharge on the inspection 
13.2 	fee under section 18C.425, subdivision 6, for fertilizers, soil amendments, and plant 
13.3 	amendments.
13.4 	(d) The commissioner shall impose a surcharge on the license application of persons 
13.5 	licensed under chapters 18B and 18C consisting of:
13.6 	(1) a $75 surcharge for each site where pesticides are stored or distributed, to 
13.7 	be imposed as a surcharge on pesticide dealer application fees under section 18B.31, 
13.8 	subdivision 5, and the agricultural pesticide dealer application fee under section 18B.316, 
13.9 	subdivision 10;
13.10 	(2) a $75 surcharge for each site where a fertilizer, plant amendment, or soil 
13.11 	amendment is distributed, to be imposed on persons licensed under sections 18C.415 
13.12 	and 18C.425;
13.13 	(3) a $50 surcharge to be imposed on a structural pest control applicator license 
13.14 	application under section 18B.32, subdivision 6, for business license applications only;
13.15 	(4) a $20 surcharge to be imposed on commercial applicator license application fees 
13.16 	under section 18B.33, subdivision 7; and
13.17 	(5) a $20 surcharge to be imposed on noncommercial applicator license application 
13.18 	fees under section 18B.34, subdivision 5, except a surcharge may not be imposed on a 
13.19 	noncommercial applicator that is a state agency, political subdivision of the state, the 
13.20 	federal government, or an agency of the federal government.
13.21 	(e) A $1,000 fee shall be imposed on each site where pesticides are stored and sold 
13.22 	for use outside of the state unless:
13.23 	(1) the distributor properly documents that it has less than $2,000,000 per year in 
13.24 	wholesale value of pesticides stored and transferred through the site; or
13.25 	(2) the registrant pays the surcharge under paragraph (b) and the registration fee 
13.26 	under section 18B.26, subdivision 3, for all of the pesticides stored at the site and sold for 
13.27 	use outside of the state.
13.28 	(f) Paragraphs (c) to (e) apply to sales, licenses issued, applications received for 
13.29 	licenses, and inspection fees imposed on or after July 1, 1990.

13.30 	Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 27.041, is amended by adding a subdivision 
13.31 	to read:
13.32 		Subd. 3.Account; appropriation. A wholesale produce dealers account is created 
13.33 	in the agricultural fund. All fees, charges, and penalties collected under sections 27.01 to 
13.34 	27.069 and 27.11 to 27.19, including interest attributable to that money, must be deposited 
14.1 	in the wholesale produce dealers account. Money in the account is appropriated to the 
14.2 	commissioner for the purposes of sections 27.01 to 27.069 and 27.11 to 27.19.
