<br />NEW FEES ADOPTED
<br />FOR OPERATOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAM OFFICE
<br />(OCPO) ACTIVITIES
<br />On October 30, 2004, the Water and Wastewater Facility Op-
<br />erators Certification Board ( WWFOCB) conducted a Rulemaking
<br />Hearing relative to fees for various program segments. The fol-
<br />lowing fee changes were adopted:
<br />Certification Examination Fee: $35 (previously $25)
<br />Examination Application Fee: $15
<br />Administration Fee to obtain Certificate following exam:
<br />$50 (previously $60)
<br />Therefore, the total cost ($100.00) for an operator to obtain
<br />certification by passing an exam remains unchanged.
<br />Please note that the $60 Administration Fee for renewal certifi-
<br />cations and new certifications by reciprocity remains unchanged.
<br />In addition,the $15 Application Fee for certification renewal and
<br />certification by reciprocity remains unchanged. The revised fees
<br />are effective December 30, 2004.
<br />26
<br />On November 30, 2004, a continuation of the October Rule -
<br />making Hearing was conducted. At the end of that session,the
<br />WWFOCB approved a new $50.00 fee for review of applications
<br />for training unit approval, which occurs via www.00POweb.com.
<br />This new fee is effective November 30, 2004 and applies to all
<br />courses to be offered in 2005 or later. Accredited educational
<br />institutions are required to submit a fee only if they want their
<br />courses reviewed and posted on the OCPO web site. A reduced
<br />fee of $25 was established for operators submitting a course for
<br />review that has not been submitted by a course sponsor.
<br />The new fee structure was adopted to cover the costs related
<br />to hosting and maintaining the web site, along with the associ-
<br />ated costs for administrative management. These fees are set
<br />forth in section 100.22.2 of the WWFOCB's Regulation No. 100.
<br />The revised regulation will be posted by early December on the
<br />WWFOCB web site at www.cdphe.state.co.us/op/ocb/ocbhom.
