(a) In general. Components ordinarily will respond to requests according to their order of receipt. In instances involving misdirected requests that are re-routed pursuant to §1.4(c), the response time will commence on the date that the request is received by the proper component's office that is designated to receive requests, but in any event not later than 10-working days after the request is first received by any component's office that is designated to receive requests.
(a) In general. Requests seeking either authenticated or certified copies of records will generally be processed under the FOIA. FOIA search, review, and duplication fees, where applicable, may also apply. However, because the costs for authenticated and certified copies are outside of the FOIA, the provisions of §1.12 that call for the automatic waiver of FOIA fees under $25.00 do not apply.
(k) Special services. For services not covered by the FOIA or by appendix A of this subpart, as described in §1.10, components may set their own fees in accordance with applicable law. Although components are not required to provide special services, such as providing multiple copies of the same record, or sending records by means other than first class mail, if a component chooses to do so as a matter of administrative discretion, the direct costs of these services will be charged.
(o) Restrictions on charging fees. (1) If a component fails to comply with the statutory time limits in which to respond to a request, as provided in §1.6(b), and if unusual circumstances, as that term is defined by the FOIA, apply to the processing of the request, as discussed in §1.6(d), it may not charge search fees for the processing of the request, or duplication fees for the processing of the request if the requester is classified as an educational institution requester, a noncommercial scientific institution requester, or a representative of the news media, as defined in appendix A of this subpart, unless:
