PART 1007--REQUESTS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1007.10  Waiver of fees.

    (a) Statutory fee waiver. Documents shall be furnished without 
charge or at a charge reduced below the fees chargeable under 
Sec. 1007.9 if disclosure of the information is in the public interest 
because it:
    (1) Is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of 
the operations or activities of the government and
    (2) Is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester.
    (b) Elimination or reduction of fees. Ordinarily, in the 
circumstances where the criteria of paragraph (a) of this section are 
met, fees will be reduced by twenty-five percent from the fees otherwise 
chargeable to the requester. In exceptional circumstances, and with the 
approval of the Executive Director, fees may be reduced below this level 
or waived entirely.
    (c) Notice of denial. If a requested statutory fee waiver or 
reduction is denied, the requester shall be notified in writing. The 
notice shall include:
    (1) A statement of the basis on which the waiver or reduction has 
been denied;
    (2) A listing of the names and titles or positions of each person 
responsible for the denial; and
    (3) A statement that the denial may be appealed to the Executive 
Director
