# §1027.105. How much are the fees?

- (a) **Fees are determined based on the date we receive a complete application for certification.** Each reference to a year in this subpart refers to the calendar year, unless otherwise specified. [Paragraph (b)](#b) of this section specifies baseline fees that apply for certificates received in 2020. See [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section for provisions describing how we calculate fees for 2021 and later years.
- (b) **The following baseline fees apply for each application for certification—**
  - (1) Except as specified in [paragraph (b)(2)](#b-2) of this section for Independent Commercial Importers, the following fees apply in 2020 for motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines:
  - (2) A fee of $87,860 applies in 2020 for Independent Commercial Importers with respect to the following motor vehicles:
    - (i) **Light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks.**
    - (ii) **Medium-duty passenger vehicles.**
    - (iii) **Complete heavy-duty highway vehicles.**
  - (3) The following fees apply in 2020 for nonroad and stationary engines, vehicles, equipment, and components:
- (c) We will calculate adjusted fees for 2021 and later years based on changes in the Consumer Price Index and the number of certificates. We will announce adjusted fees for a given year by March 31 of the preceding year.
  - (1) We will adjust the values specified in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section for years after 2020 as follows:
    - (i) Use the following equation for certification related to evaporative emissions from nonroad and stationary engines when a separate fee applies for certification to evaporative emission standards:
    - (ii) **Use the following equation for all other certificates—**
  - (2) The fee for any year will remain at the previous year's amount until the value calculated in [paragraph (c)(1)](#c-1) of this section differs by at least $50 from the amount specified for the previous year.
- (d) Except as specified in [§ 1027.110(a)](/cfr/40/1027.110.md?p=a) for motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines, we will use the following values to determine adjusted fees using the equation in [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section:
  - (1) **The following values apply for operating costs and labor costs—**
  - (2) The applicable Consumer Price Index is based on the values published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for All Urban Consumers at https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/under “Inflation and Prices” and “Consumer Price Index Data from 1913 to. . . .”. For example, we calculated the 2006 fees using the Consumer Price Index for November 2004, which is 191.0.
  - (3) Fee categories for counting the number of certificates issued are based on the grouping shown in [paragraph (d)(1)](#d-1) of this section.
