Sec. 2702.5  Fees applicable--categories of requesters.

    (a) When documents are requested for commercial use, requesters will 
be assessed the full direct costs of searching for, reviewing for 
release, and duplicating the records sought.
    (b) When records are being requested by educational or noncommercial 
scientific institutions whose purpose is scholarly or scientific 
research, and not for commercial use, the requester will be assessed 
only for the cost of duplicating the records sought, but no charge will 
be made for the first 100 paper pages reproduced.
    (c) When records are being requested by representatives of the news 
media, the requester will be assessed only for the cost of duplicating 
the records sought, but no charge will be made for the first 100 paper 
pages reproduced.
    (d) For any other request not described in paragraphs (a) through 
(c) of this section, the requester will be assessed the full direct 
costs of searching for and duplicating the records sought, except that 
the first two hours of manual search time and the first 100 paper pages 
of reproduction shall be furnished without charge.

    (e) For purposes of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this section, 
whenever it reasonably appears that a requester, or a group of 
requesters acting in concert, is attempting to break down a single 
request into a series of requests relating to the same subject matter 
for the purpose of evading the assessment of fees, such requests will be 
aggregated and fees assessed accordingly.
