                             Subpart F_Fees
 
Sec.  6.83  Prepayment of fees.

    (a) When FEMA estimates or determines that allowable charges that a 
requester may be required to pay are likely to exceed $250.00, FEMA may 
require a requester to make an advance payment of the entire fee before 
continuing to process the request.
    (b) When a requester has previously failed to pay a fee charged in a 
timely fashion (i.e., within 30 days of the date of the billing), FEMA 
may require the requester to pay the full amount owed plus any 
applicable interest as provided in Sec.  6.85(d), and to make an advance 
payment of the full amount of the estimated fee before the agency begins 
to process a new request or a pending request from that requester.
    (c) When FEMA acts under Sec.  5.44 (a) or (b), the administrative 
time limits prescribed in subsection (a)(6) of the FOIA (i.e., 10 
working days from the receipt of initial requests and 20 working days 
from receipt of appeals from initial denial, plus permissible extensions 
of these time limits) will begin only after FEMA has received fee 
payments described under Sec.  5.44 (a) or (b).
