Sec. 6.85  Reproduction fees.



    (a) Duplication costs. (1) For copies of documents reproduced on a 

standard office copying machine in sizes up to 8\1/2\ x 14 inches, the 

charge will be $.15 per page.

    (2) The fee for reproducing copies of records over 8\1/2\ x 14 

inches or whose physical characteristics do not permit reproduction by 

routine electrostatic copying shall be the direct cost of reproducing 

the records through Government or commercial sources. If FEMA estimates 

that the allowable duplication charges are likely to exceed $25, it 

shall notify the requester of the estimated amount of fees, unless the 

requester has indicated in advance his/her willingness to pay fees as 

high as those anticipated. Such a notice shall offer a requester the 

opportunity to confer with agency personnel with the objective of 

reformulating the request to meet his/her needs at a lower cost.

    (3) For other methods of reproduction or duplication, FEMA shall 

charge the actual direct costs of producing the document(s). If FEMA 

estimates that the allowable duplication charges are likely to exceed 

$25, it shall notify the requester of the estimated amount of fees, 

unless the requester has indicated in advance his/her willingness to pay 

fees as high as those anticipated. Such a notice shall offer a requester 

the opportunity to confer with agency personnel with the objective of 

reformulating the request to meet his/her needs at a lower cost.

    (b) Interest may be charge to those requesters who fail to pay fees 

charged. FEMA may begin assessing interest charges on the amount billed 

starting on the 31st day following the day on which the billing was 

sent. Interest will be at the rate prescribed in section 3717 of title 

31 U.S.C.
