  CHAPTER I--FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 
PART 3b_COLLECTION, MAINTENANCE, USE, AND DISSEMINATION OF RECORDS OF 
IDENTIFIABLE PERSONAL INFORMATION--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart C_Rules for Disclosure of Records
 
Sec. 3b.223  Fees.

    (a) Fees will be charged for the direct cost of duplication of 
records in a system of records when copies are requested by the 
individual seeking access to the records. Any person may obtain a copy 
of the Commission's schedule of fees by telephone, by mail or by coming 
in person to the office of the appropriate system manager who is 
responsible for the protection and accountability of the desired record. 
Requests for copies of requested records and payment therefor must be 
made to the system manager. Fees will only be charged for costs of $2 or 
more.
    (b) Where practicable, self-service duplication of requested 
documents may also be made on duplicating machines by the person 
requesting the records, on a reimbursable basis to the system manager, 
in the presence of the Commission representative having physical custody 
of the record. Where data has been extracted from one of the 
Commission's systems of records on magnetic tape or disks, or computer 
files, copies of the records of these files may be secured on a 
reimbursable basis upon written request to the appropriate system 
manager. The fee will vary for each requirement, depending on size and 
complexity.
    (c) No fee will be charged in the following instances:
    (1) When the system manager determines that he can grant access to 
records only by providing a copy of the record through the mail because 
he cannot provide reasonable means for the individual to have access in 
person;
    (2) For search and review of requested records to determine if they 
fall within the disclosure requirements of this part; and
    (3) When the system manager makes a copy of the record as a 
necessary part of the process of making it available for review.
    (d) Except for requests made by Government agencies, certification 
of copies of any official Commission record shall be accompanied by a 
fee of $2 per document.
