. (a) In a county for which a CUPA has not been certified on
or before January 1, 2000, and where the unified program is
implemented pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section
25404.3, the CUPA is eligible for an allocation pursuant to
subdivision (d). The CUPA shall institute a single fee system that
meets the requirements of Section 25404.5, except that the amounts to

pursuant to subdivision (d) are sufficient to pay the necessary costs
incurred by the CUPA in implementing the unified program. The CUPA
shall determine the level to be paid by persons regulated under the
unified program by conducting a workload analysis that establishes
the direct and indirect costs to the CUPA of implementing the unified
program.
(b) A CUPA that implements the unified program pursuant to
paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section 25404.3 shall use the
funding allocated pursuant to subdivision (d) to implement the
unified program within the jurisdiction of the CUPA in accordance
with the implementation agreement reached with the secretary pursuant
to paragraph (2) of subdivision (f) of Section 25404.3.
