The payment must be received by the Department of Agriculture prior to an incident for which reimbursement is sought under Section 22.3 to qualify for eligibility under subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of Section 22.3.
     (b) An agrichemical facility located within the State of Illinois that was not in existence during the years 1991, 1992, and 1993 and therefore did not pay the registration fee of $500 per year per agrichemical facility for those years may also meet the eligibility requirement of subdivision (2) of subsection (a) of Section 22.3 of this Act through the transfer of eligibility from a facility under the same ownership whose operations were discontinued after 1993 and replaced by the new facility. To qualify for the eligibility transfer, the owner must submit a written request for the eligibility transfer to the Department of Agriculture, must have paid the $500 registration fee for each of the years 1991, 1992, and 1993 for the original facility, and completed all closure requirements contained in rules promulgated by the Department of Agriculture. Upon receipt of the eligibility transfer request, the Department of Agriculture shall review the submittal and all related containment facility files and shall notify the owner whether eligibility can be transferred.
