Sec. 9.39  Search and duplication provided without charge.

    (a) The NRC will search for agency records requested under Sec. 
9.23(b) without charges when agency records are not sought for 
commercial use and the records are requested by an educational or 
noncommercial scientific institution, or a representative of the news 
media.
    (b) The NRC will search for agency records requested under Sec. 
9.23(b) without charges for the first two hours of search for any 
request not sought for commercial use and not covered in paragraph (a) 
of this section.
    (c) The NRC will duplicate agency records requested under Sec. 
9.23(b) without charge for the first 100 pages of standard paper copies, 
or the equivalent cost of 100 pages of standard paper copies when 
providing the requester copies in microfiche or electronic form such as 
computer disks, if the requester is not a commercial use requester.
    (d) The NRC may not bill any requester for fees if the cost of 
collecting the fee would be equal to or greater than the fee itself.
    (e) The NRC may aggregate requests in determining search and 
duplication to be provided without charge as provided in paragraphs (a) 
and (b) of this section, if the NRC finds a requester or group of 
requesters acting in concert, has filed multiple requests that actually 
constitute a single request, and that the requests involve clearly-
related matters.
