FOIA
Fees
Under the FOIA, fees are charged for processing
requests based on the category of the requester.
Commercial requesters pay search,
review and reproduction costs over $25. News
media and educational or noncommercial scientific
institutions pay reproduction costs after
the first 100 pages. Other noncommercial
requesters get the first two hours of search time
and the first 100 pages free of charge.
Fees may be assessed even though no records are
located.
The NRO charges FOIA fees according to the DoD
schedule. Requesters must express a willingness
to pay fees. Waivers will be considered in certain
cases. For further information, see How
to Make a FOIA Request.
