# §2100.6. Schedule of fees.

- (a) Individuals will not be charged for:
  - (1) **The search and review of the record.**
  - (2) Copies of the record produced as a necessary part of the process of making the record available for access; or,
  - (3) Copies of the requested record when it has been determined that access can only be accomplished by providing a copy of the record through the mail.
- (b) **Waiver.** The official having operational control at the appropriate facility may at no charge, provide copies of a record if it is determined the production of the copies is in the interest of the Government.
- (c) **Fee Schedule and method of payment.** With the exception of paragraphs [(a)](#a) and [(b)](#b) of this section, fees will be charged as indicated below:
  - (1) Records will be duplicated at a rate of $.10 per page for all copying of 5 pages or more. There is no charge for duplication of 4 or fewer pages.
  - (2) Where it is anticipated that the fees chargeable under this section will amount to more than $30.00, the requester shall be promptly notified of the amount of the anticipated fee or such portion thereof as can readily be estimated. In instances where the estimated fees will exceed $30.00, an advance deposit may be required. The notice or request for advance deposit shall extend an offer to the requester in order to reformulate the request in a manner which will reduce the fees, yet still meet the needs of the requester.
  - (3) **Fees should be paid in full prior to issuance of requested copies.** In the event the requester is in arrears for previous requested copies, no subsequent request will be processed until the arrears have been paid in full.
  - (4) Remittances shall be in the form either of a personal check, bank draft drawn on a bank in the United States, or a postal money order. Remittances shall be made payable to the facility to which the request is being made, and mailed or delivered to the appropriate facility (see [§ 2100.3](/cfr/5/2100.3.md) of this part).
  - (5) A receipt for fees paid will be given upon request.
