(a) 44 U.S.C. 2116(c) allows the NATF to recover all of its costs for providing records reproduction services to the public. The vast majority of materials that are reproduced are from the holdings of NARA, which require special handling, due to the age, condition and historical significance. Examples of special handling include the following:
(3) Inability to use automatic document feeders. Because of the requirements in paragraph (a)(1) of this section, automatic document feeders cannot be used for the duplication of paper materials. This adds time and cost to the price of copying these irreplaceable documents.
(d) Forecasted volume. The prediction of a product's sales volume in future year(s). These estimates are made by working with the custodial units and taking into account historical sales volume. An annual percent change is then estimated
(g) Fee calculation. The product fee is calculated by the following formula: {[(Percent of Revenue * NATF Overhead Costs) + Reimbursement + Additional Costs]/Projected Sales Volume}
(3) Reallocation of shared costs across product lines using the methodology described in §1258.6.
(d) NARA will place a notice on our Web site (http://www.archives.gov) annually when announcing that records reproduction fees will be adjusted in accordance with this regulation.
(3) Brief description of the process required to provide the product and service, including the amount of time for each number and grade level of staff.
(3) If the potential demand warrants, NATF prepares a cost analysis following the methodology in §1258.6 and develops a proposed recommended fee for review by NARA's Financial Resources Division and approval by the Archivist of the United States.
(c) Notification of new records reproduction services and trial periods: (1) The public will be notified of new records reproduction services, including the business case for determining initial fee, on-line at http://www.archives.gov, by press releases, and through NARA's social media outlets.
Due to various factors, it is occasionally difficult for NARA to make a legible reproduction. NARA will notify customers and ask for approval to proceed if we anticipate a reproduction of questionable legibility. As a result, NARA does not provide refunds except in special cases. If a customer requests a refund, we review the order to determine if we properly notified the customer of the questionable nature of the original and if the product is a true representation of the original. If the product is a true representation of the original, we will not issue a refund. If you feel we processed your order incorrectly or it contains errors, please contact us within 30 days of your delivery date to have your issue verified. Once we verify the issue, we will correct the error and resend the documents. If we cannot correct the error, you will receive a refund.
