(a) Each failure to file a report or filing that substantially complies with the requirements of EPCRA or Florida Statutes § 252.85, by the required due date; or
(b) Each failure to pay any fee required by Florida Statutes § 252.85
(2) The following procedure shall be utilized by the Division to assess late fees:
(a) A written notification shall be sent which specifies the requirement that has not been met and the amount of the late fee to be paid if the report, filing, or fee necessary to meet the requirement is not submitted to the Division within 30 days of receipt of the notice. The amount of the late fee shall be equal to the amount of the annual registration, filing fee or Toxic Chemical Release Inventory fee required for timely submission, not to exceed $2,000.00 per late submission.
(b) If the report, filing, or fee is not submitted within 90 days after receipt of the first notice, the Division shall issue a second notice which specifies the requirement which has not been met and the amount of the late fee to be paid if the report or fee necessary to meet the requirement is not submitted within 30 days after receipt of the Division’s second notice. The amount of the late fee shall be twice the amount of the annual registration, filing fee or Toxic Chemical Release Inventory fee required for timely submission, not to exceed $4,000.00 per late submission.
(3) The date of receipt of notice by the owner or operator shall be the actual date of receipt as evidenced by the executed postal return receipt.
