New Jersey § 13:1e-99

§ 13:1e-99.

a. No later than one year after receipt by the department of a complete battery management

plan, the department shall approve, approve in part, or disapprove of the plan. In making a determination pursuant to this section, the department may solicit information

from producers or other stakeholders as the department deems appropriate. The department may assess a producer a reasonable fee to cover the department's costs

for plan review, program implementation, and enforcement costs pursuant to this act. b. If the department approves the battery management plan, the producer shall implement

the plan within 90 days after receipt of approval from the department or as otherwise

agreed to by the department. c. If the department approves in part the battery management plan, the department

shall indicate those portions of the plan that do not comply with the requirements

of this act and the rules and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. The producer shall implement the components of the plan, as approved, within 90

days after receipt of approval by the department or as otherwise agreed to by the

department, and submit a revised battery management plan within 30 days after receipt

of notification of the approval in part by the department in order to bring the entire

plan into compliance with the requirements of this act and any rules and regulations

adopted pursuant thereto. The department shall review and approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove a

revised battery management plan within 30 days after receipt of the revised plan. d. If the battery management plan is disapproved, the department shall inform the

producer of the reasons for the disapproval. The producer shall have 30 days thereafter to submit a revised battery management

plan to the department. e. If, at the conclusion of the time period ending one year after receipt by the department

of a complete battery management plan, the department has not approved, approved in

part, or disapproved the battery management plan pursuant to subsections b. through

d. of this section, the battery management plan shall be deemed to be conditionally

approved. A producer, subject to any modifications required by the department, shall implement

a conditionally approved battery management plan within 90 days after the plan has

been deemed conditionally approved by the department. f. The department may impose additional plan requirements for any portion of a battery

management plan that does not comply with the requirements of this act, and any rules

and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, for a plan component that has not been approved

pursuant to this section. g. The department may review a battery management plan approved pursuant to this section

and recommend modifications thereto at any time upon a finding that the approved battery

management plan, as implemented, is deficient. h. Within 90 days after the department's approval of a battery management plan submitted

in accordance with section 5 of this act, or any revisions thereto, the department

shall post, at a publicly accessible location on its Internet website, each battery

management plan and a list identifying each of the producers participating in a battery

management plan. A producer may provide a redacted version of its battery management plan to the

department for the purposes of its posting on the department's Internet website, which

removes any proprietary or confidential information.
