Online Application extra fee

Why is there a "convenience fee" for submitting a controlled hunt application online? It seems that, if anything, there should be a "convenience discount" as IDFG does not have to manually handle/input the application therefore saving IDFG man-hours and money.
Answer: 
The convenience fee is collected by the contractor who provides the online license system. The fees they collect go to pay for the software code, system enhancements to keep the site current, the hardware to host the site, all system licenses, system maintenence and printing and mailing items to customers and other system.
