§ 0.469 Advance payments.
(a) The Commission may not require advance payment of estimated FOIA fees
except as provided in paragraph (b) or where the Commission estimates or
determines that allowable charges that a requester may be required to pay
are likely to exceed $250.00 and the requester has no history of payment.
Where allowable charges are likely to exceed $250.00 and the requester has a
history of prompt payment of FOIA fees the Commission may notify the
requester of the estimated cost and obtain satisfactory assurance of full
payment. Notification that fees may exceed $250.00 is not, however, a
prerequisite for collecting fees above that amount.
(b) Where 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), the Commission
may require the requester to pay the full amount owed plus any applicable
interest as provided in § 0.468, and to make an advance payment of the full
amount of the estimated fee before the Commission begins to process a new
request or a pending request from that requester.
(c) When the Commission acts under paragraph (a) of this section, the
administrative time limits prescribed in § § 0.461(g) and (k) (i.e., twenty
business days from receipt of initial requests and twenty business days from
receipt of appeals from initial denials, plus permissible extensions of
these time limits (see § 0.461(g)(1)(i) through (iii) and § 0.461(k)(1)(i)
through (iii)) will begin only after the agency has received the fee
payments described in this section. See § 0.461(e)(2)(ii) and § 0.467(e)(2).
