NAC590.730. Annual fee and application for registration of storage tank; letter of coverage.

     1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, each operator of a registered storage tank shall, on or before October 1 of each year, pay a fee in the amount of $100 for registration for coverage provided by the Fund and submit an application for registration to the Division in the form prescribed by the Board. An application for registration is not required from an operator who has filed with the Division Form 7530-1, “Notification for Underground Storage Tanks,” adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

     2. The Division will bill the operator for the annual registration fee not less than 30 days before the date the fee is due. The failure of an operator to receive a bill does not relieve the operator of his or her obligation to pay the fee on or before the date it is due.

     3. Upon compliance by the operator with the provisions of subsection 1, the Division will issue a letter evidencing the coverage provided by NRS 590.880 or 590.890, whichever applies. The letter will:

     (a) Include the name and address of the facility at which the storage tank is located, together with any other information required to identify the storage tank; and

     (b) Set forth the amount of money available in the Fund, as of the date of the letter, to pay costs or damages resulting from any discharge from the storage tank which qualifies for coverage provided by NRS 590.880 or 590.890, as applicable.

     4. After January 1, 1992, if a discharge from a storage tank is discovered during a period in which the annual registration fee for that storage tank is delinquent, the Division will not use money in the Fund to pay costs or damages resulting from any discharge from that storage tank.
