The initial registration shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of approval of the registration. If the fees are insufficient to defray the cost of rendering services required by the provisions of this act, the commission may, by regulation, establish a revised fee schedule. Any revised fee schedule shall assure that the fees collected reasonably cover, but do not exceed, the expenses of administering the provisions of this act.

(2) Annual renewal of registration shall be made in accordance with the provisions of section 14 of this act.

(3) Any current registration filed with and approved by the commission pursuant to the provisions of P.L.1975, c.235 (C. 45:15-16.3 et seq.) prior to the date of enactment of this act shall be exempt from initial registration under this act.

b. The application for registration shall be made on forms prescribed by the commission and shall be accompanied by the appropriate filing fee. As provided in subsection f. of section 15 of this act, the commission may determine, at its discretion, that an onsite investigation or inspection is required. The commission shall advise the registrant of the amount of the cost of travel from New Jersey to the location of the subdivided lands and return and any additional expenses of an inspection, which shall be the amount of the inspection fee. All inspection fees shall be accounted for to the applicant.

c. The fee for a consolidated filing, filed pursuant to section 13 of this act, shall be the same as set forth in subsection a. of this section.
