fees:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 1036 for filing each
application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, or
for the mortgage, lease, transfer, or assignment thereof, five
hundred dollars ($500). The commission may adjust this fee based on
the Consumer Price Index.
(b) For a certificate authorizing an issue of bonds, notes, or
other evidences of indebtedness, two dollars ($2) for each one
thousand dollars ($1,000) of the face value of the authorized issue
or fraction thereof up to one million dollars ($1,000,000), one
dollar ($1) for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) over one million

retire any stock, bond, note, or other evidence of indebtedness on
which a fee has theretofore been paid to the commission. If the
commission modified the amount of the issue requested in any case and
the applicant thereupon elects not to avail itself of the commission'
s authorization, no fee shall be paid, and if such fee is paid prior
to the issuance of such certificate by the commission, such fee shall
be returned.
