    (3) Any 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 Administrative Officer may, at no charge, provide

    (1) Duplication of records. Records will be duplicated at a rate of 
$.10 per page for all copying of 4 pages or more. There is no charge for 
duplicating 3 or fewer pages.
    (2) Where it is anticipated that the fees chargeable under this 
section will amount to more than $25, the person making the request 
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 greatly exceed $25, an advance deposit may be 
required. The notice or request for an advance deposit shall extend an 
offer to the person requesting to consult with the Administrative 
Officer in order to reformulate the request in a manner which will 
reduce the fees, yet still meet the needs of individuals making the 
request.
    (3) Fees must be paid in full prior to issuance of requested copies. 
In the event the person requesting is in arrears for previous requests 
copies will not be provided for any subsequent request until the arrears 
have been paid in full.
    (4) Remittances shall be in the form either of a personal check or 
bank draft drawn on a bank in the United States, or a postal money 
order. Remittances shall be made payable to the order of the Treasury of 
the United States and mailed or delivered to the Administrative Officer, 
Office of the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations, 1800 G St., 
NW., Washington, DC, 20506.
    (5) A receipt for fees paid will be given upon request.
