California Code, Health and Safety Code - HSC § 13144.2

Any person, firm, corporation, association, or similar organization desiring listing pursuant to Section 13144.1 shall, prior to placement on any list or revision thereto, make an original or annual renewal application to the State Fire Marshal on forms provided by the State Fire Marshal. Original applications shall be accompanied by both an application fee and a listing fee. Renewal applications shall be accompanied by a listing fee. An application for revision shall be accompanied by a revision fee.

Failure to submit an annual renewal application and listing fee shall automatically cause removal of the material, equipment, method of construction, or installation of equipment from the listings or revision thereto.

The original application fee, the listing fee, and the revision fee shall be established and collected by the State Fire Marshal. Those fees shall not exceed the costs incurred by the State Fire Marshal in conducting evaluations and tests of construction materials and equipment and methods of construction and of installation of equipment.

The annual application and listing fee renewal period shall begin on January 1 and end on May 1 preceding the listing year for which the renewal is requested. A penalty of 50 percent of the listing fee shall be assessed in all cases where the renewal fees are not paid on or before May 1, preceding the listing year for which renewal is requested.

The State Fire Marshal may designate in generic terms, without application or fee, materials or assemblies of materials classed by the State Fire Marshal as industrywide, by regulations adopted pursuant to Sections 13108 and 13143.
