(a) The filing of a request under this subpart will be deemed to
constitute an agreement by the requester to pay all applicable fees
charged under this part up to and including $25.00, unless the
requester seeks a waiver of fees. When making a request, the requester
may specify a willingness to pay a greater or lesser amount.
(b) No request will be processed if a disclosure officer reasonably
believes that the fees are likely to exceed the amount to which the
requester has originally consented, absent supplemental written consent
by the requester to proceed after being notified of this determination.
(c) When the estimated costs are likely to exceed the amount of
fees to which the requester has consented, the requester must be
notified. Such notice may invite the requester to reformulate the
request to satisfy his or her needs at a lower cost.
