         d.  A person who renews a permit and submits any accompanying

         3. a.  Fees collected under this section and section 194.20

      necessary for the administration of this chapter and chapter 194, and
      shall be subject to the requirements of section 8.60.
         b.  In each fiscal year, the secretary shall calculate the
      balance of funds deposited under this section by subtracting all
      moneys expended for the costs of inspection, sampling, analysis and
      other expenses necessary for the administration of this chapter and
      chapter 194.  If the calculation shows a balance of funds deposited
      under this section on June 30 of any fiscal year equal to or
      exceeding one hundred fifty thousand dollars, the secretary shall
      reduce the fees provided for in subsection 2 of this section and
      section 194.20 for the next fiscal year in an amount which will
      result in an ending estimated balance of such funds for June 30 of
      the next fiscal year of one hundred fifty thousand dollars.
