                             Subpart C_Fees

 

Sec. 5.43  Waiver or reduction of fees.



    (a) FEMA may waive all fees or levy a reduced fee when disclosure of 

the information requested is deemed to be in the public interest because 

it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the 

operations or activities of the Federal Government and is not primarily 

in the commercial interest of the requester.

    (b) A fee waiver request shall indicate how the information will be 

used, to whom it will be provided, whether the requester intends to use 

the information for resale at a fee above actual cost, any personal or 

commercial benefits that the requester reasonably expects to receive by 

the disclosure, provide justification to support how release would 

benefit the general public, the requester's and/or intended user's 

identity and qualifications, expertise in the subject area and ability 

and intention to disseminate the information to the public.
