# §2.44. What fees for other services will you have to pay?

- (a) Although not required to provide special services, if the bureau chooses to do so as a matter of administrative discretion, it will charge you the direct costs of providing the service.
- (b) Examples of these services include providing multiple copies of the same record, converting records that are not already maintained in a requested format to the requested format, obtaining research data under [§ 2.69](/cfr/43/2.69.md) of this part, sending records by means other than first class mail, and conducting a search that requires the creation of a new computer search program to locate the requested records.
- (c) The bureau will notify you of these fees before they accrue and will obtain your written assurance of payment or an advance payment before proceeding. See §§ [2.49](/cfr/43/2.49.md) and [2.50](/cfr/43/2.50.md) of this subpart.
