The Commission may assess fees and charges under this section by making estimates based on data available to the Commission at the time of assessment.
The Commission shall provide that the fees and charges assessed under this section shall be paid by the end of the fiscal year for which they were assessed.
The Commission shall, after the completion of a fiscal year, make such adjustments in the assessments for such fiscal year as may be necessary to eliminate any overrecovery or underrecovery of its total costs, and any overcharging or undercharging of any person.
All moneys received under this section shall be credited to the general fund of the Treasury.
The Commission may waive all or part of any fee or annual charge assessed under this section for good cause shown.
