Purpose of notice and background information: The Department of General Services, Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS) is seeking comment on the revision to fees charged for accrediting commercial environmental laboratories under 1VAC30-46-150. The current fees became effective September 1, 2019, and are based on fiscal year 2018 data. These fees no longer offset program costs. DCLS is seeking comment on two successive years of revisions to the fees charged under 1VAC30-46-150.
Authority: Section 2.2-1105 C of the Code of Virginia requires the fee system established under the Virginia Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program to offset the costs of the program. 1VAC30-46-150 A 5 requires DCLS, as part of its regular budgetary review, to determine whether the fees charged offset the program costs.
Part I, Item 68 C 3 a of Chapter 725 of the 2025 Acts of Assembly, Special Session I, exempts revisions to the fees charged under the program from the Administrative Process Act (§ 2.2-4000 et seq. of the Code of Virginia), except that DCLS is required to provide notice and an opportunity to submit written comments on revised fees.
Public comment period: October 6, 2025, to November 5, 2025.
How to comment: DCLS accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. To be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and must be received by DCLS by the last day of the comment period. All materials received are part of the public record. Comments should be sent to the contact listed at the end of this notice.
Notice of fees: DCLS is revising fees for two 12-month periods. The first year of revisions to the fees will be the current fees plus an additional 10%. The second year of revisions to the fees will be the first year's fee revisions plus an additional 6.0%.
The revised fees will become effective after the agency's review of public comments and the final fees are published.

How fees are calculated: Environmental laboratories pay the total of the base fee and the test category fees.
Base fee: DCLS determines the base fee for a laboratory by taking into account both the total number of methods and the total number of field of accreditation matrices for which the laboratory would be accredited.
Test category fees: The test category fees cover the types of testing for which a laboratory may be accredited, as specified in the laboratory's application or as accredited at the time of annual billing. Fees are charged for each category of tests to be accredited. Fees are charged for the total number of field of accreditation matrices to be accredited under the specific test category. For example, if a laboratory is performing inorganic chemistry for both nonpotable water and solid and chemical materials matrices, the fee for this test category would be found in the column for two matrices. The fee for each category includes one or more analytical methods unless otherwise specified.
When to pay: Payment is due when the initial application is processed or annually thereafter upon receipt of the invoice from DCLS. Annual billing precedes the expiration of the current certificate.
How to pay: Fees may be paid by check or credit card via an electronic payment portal provided by DCLS, or other payment arrangements may be made by contacting lab_cert@dgs.virginia.gov. All payments are made after an invoice is issued by DCLS, in accordance with instructions on the invoice or in accordance with special arrangements made by contacting DCLS.

Test category fees: The test category fees cover the types of testing for which a laboratory may be certified as specified in the laboratory's application or as certified at the time of annual billing. Fees are charged for each category of tests to be certified. Fees are charged for the total number of field of certification matrices to be certified under the specific test category. For example, if a laboratory is performing inorganic chemistry for both nonpotable water and solid and chemical materials matrices, the fee for this test category would be found in the column for two matrices. The fee for each category includes one or more analytical methods unless otherwise specified.
When to pay: Payment is due when the initial application is processed or annually thereafter upon receipt of the invoice from DCLS. Annual billing precedes the expiration of the current certificate.
How to pay: Fees may be paid by check or credit card via an electronic payment portal provided by DCLS, or other payment arrangements may be made by contacting lab_cert@dgs.virginia.gov. All payments are made after an invoice is issued by DCLS, in accordance with instructions on the invoice or in accordance with special arrangements made by contacting DCLS.
