SECTION IV: REMARKS
SECTION V: WILLINGNESS TO PAY FEES
19. IMPORTANT: For the purpose of fees only, FOIA divides requesters into three categories: (1) commercial requesters may be charged fees for
searching for records, reviewing the records, and photocopying them; (2) educational, non-commercial scientific institutions, and representatives of the
news media are charged for photocopying after the first 100 pages; (3) all other requesters (requesters who do not fall into any of the other two
categories) are charged for photocopying after the first 100 pages and for time spent searching for records in excess of two hours. VA charges $0.15 per
single-sided page for photocopying. Actual costs are charged for a format other than paper copies.
An agency may grant fee waivers if the requester successfully demonstrates that the disclosure of information is in the publics interest because it is likely
to contribute significantly to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the
requester.
I AM WILLING TO PAY THE APPLICABLE FEES UP TO THE AMOUNT OF
