1. The commissioner shall have the power to grant an appropriate license or certificate upon application properly made and the fee therefor paid for activities and operations that comply with the requirements of this act.

Licenses or certificates (excepting those issued on a temporary basis) required by regulation for the operation of aeronautical facilities and fixed base operations are issued for a period of one year. Such licenses may be annually renewed for a period of one year, upon satisfaction of requirements set by the applicable rules and regulations appropriate to the license or certificate sought. Licenses or certificates issued on a temporary basis shall be valid for a period of less than one year and continue in effect until a specified expiration date, by request for withdrawal of license or certificate by the initial applicant, or by order of the commissioner. Rules, procedures, and application fees for the issuing of all licenses and certificates shall be established by the commissioner through regulation. Each applicant for license or certificate, be it initial, renewal, or temporary, shall be required to pay a nonrebatable fee to the Division of Aeronautics in the Department of Transportation.

All such fees shall be paid to the State Treasurer by the division for deposit in the Airport Safety Fund established by section 4 of the “New Jersey Airport Safety, Security and Improvement Act,” P.L.1983, c.264 (C. 6:1-89 et seq.).
