# §204.6. Fees.

- (a) The Copyright Office will provide, free of charge, one copy to an individual of any record pertaining to that individual contained in a Copyright Office system of records, except where the request is for a copy of a record for which a specific fee is required and identified in [§ 201.3](/cfr/37/201.3.md) of this chapter, in which case that fee shall be charged. For additional copies of records not covered by [section 708](/cfr/37/708.md) the fee will be a minimum of $15.00 for up to 15 pages and $.50 per page over 15. The Office will require prepayment of fees estimated to exceed $25.00 and will remit any excess paid or bill an additional amount according to the differences between the final fee charged and the amount prepaid. When prepayment is required, a request is not deemed “received” until prepayment has been made.
- (b) The Copyright Office may waive the fee requirement whenever it determines that such waiver would be in the public interest.
