Instruction Memorandum No. AZ-2010-024

Expires:  When Superseded or Canceled     EXPIRED

 

 

Purpose:  This Instruction Memorandum (IM) transmits the revised Arizona Cost Recovery Fee Schedule to reflect updated costs for search/research and review time.

 

Policy/Action:  This cancels IM No. AZ-2010-010.  All Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Public Rooms and employees who provide goods or services subject to Cost Recovery Fees are to adopt the current costs listed in Attachment 1.  All Public Rooms are required to post the fees charged for goods or services; Attachment 2 is a sample list for posting.  Note:  Individual offices may revise Attachment 2 to reflect items particular to that office.

 

Timeframe:  Effective August 1, 2010.

 

Background:  The Department of the Interior (DOI) recently changed the fees for time spent on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) search and review.  In accordance with DOI regulations at 43 CFR Part 2, Subpart B, the fees outlined in the FOIA regulations also apply to information and services routinely available to the public and sold through the Public Room.

 

Manual/Handbook Sections Affected:  BLM Handbook 1270-2 – Cost Recovery and BLM Manual 1271- BLM Information Access Centers.
