(a)A person from whom the environmental mitigation surcharge imposed pursuant to Section 42064 is determined to be due by that section may petition for a redetermination of whether this chapter applies to that person within 30 days after service upon them of a notice of the determination. If a petition for redetermination is not filed within the 30-day period, the amount determined to be due becomes final at the expiration of the 30-day period.
(b)A petition for redetermination of the application of this section or Section 42064 shall be in writing and be sent to the department or its designee.

(c)If a petition for redetermination of the application of this section or Section 42064 is filed within the 30-day period, the department shall reconsider whether the environmental mitigation surcharge is due and make a determination in writing. The department may eliminate the environmental mitigation surcharge based on a determination that this section or Section 42064 does not apply to the person who filed the petition.
(d)The department shall provide to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration notice and the result of each petition for redetermination or claim for refund, including the filing date, reporting periods, amount of the environmental mitigation surcharge involved, and details necessary for the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to perform refund or collection duties.

(2)In lieu of mailing, a notice may be served personally by delivering it to the person to be served and service shall be deemed complete at the time of delivery.
