(a) Fees required. Any person who applies for a flexible permit or for an amendment to an existing flexible permit shall remit, at the time of application for such permit, a fee as set forth in subsection (b) of this section. Fees will not be charged for flexible permit alterations, changes of ownership, or changes of location of permitted facilities.     
      (b) Fee amounts. The fee to be remitted with a flexible permit application shall be determined as set forth in §116.141 of this title (relating to Determination of Fees).     
      (c) Payment of fees. All permit fees for a flexible permit shall be remitted in the form of a check, certified check, electronic funds transfer, or money order made payable to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and delivered with the application for flexible permit or flexible permit amendment to the commission's Air Permits Division. Required fees must be received before the agency will begin examination of the application.     
      (d) Return of fees. Fees must be paid at the time an application for a flexible permit or flexible permit amendment is submitted. If the applicant withdraws the application prior to issuance of the flexible permit or flexible permit amendment, one-half of the fee will be refunded, except that the entire fee will be refunded for any such application for which a permit by rule under Chapter 106 of this title (relating to Permits by Rule) is allowed. No fees will be refunded after a deficient application has been voided, denied, or after a flexible permit or flexible permit amendment has been issued by the agency.
