(2) A party who is not a part of the hazardous material incident response team and is not liable under federal or state law may submit a claim to the commission for costs if the claim is associated with a request by the hazardous material incident response team or the commission.

(3) Claims for reimbursement must be submitted to the commission within 60 days after termination of the response to the incident for the state's determination of payment, if any.

(4) Reimbursement may be made only after the commission finds that the actions by the applicant were taken in response to an incident as defined in this part and only if adequate funds are available.
