Dear fir. !!artin:
This responds to your letter of January 25, 1979 in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Infonnation Act, records regarding fiRC's policies governing waiver of search and copying fees for documents requested under the Freedom of Information Act.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (tiRC) has not charged fees for search during period 1974 to the present.
fiRC routinely provides public access to its records at the NRC Public Document Room (PDR),1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. and at its Local Public Document Rooms (LPDR's) which are located in the vicinity of major nuclear facilities which are licensed by NRC.
At those locations, requesters can inspect the records and, through a private contractor at the PDR or through the facilities which house the LPDR collections, purchase a copy of the records. The practice has now been codified in 10 CFR 9.14, which became an effective rule on April 16, 1979.
Periodically, requesters have paid the higher agency charge of $.10 per page rather than purchase just those records in which they are interested at $.08 per page from the PDR contractor.
The enclosed documents relate to NRC procedures and policies which became effective on April 16, 1979.
Prior to that date NRC had included' in 10 CFR Part 9, a procedural rule granting the right to request a waiver or reduction of fees and, if denied, the right to appeal.
No other public guidance existed prior to that date.
Sincerely, f
'N' 7,
