This subpart describes certain special services made available by the Board and prescribes the fees and charges for these services. Upon request and payment of fees as provided in subsequent sections, there are available, with respect to documents subject to inspection, services as follows: (a) Locating and copying records and documents. (b) Certification of copies of documents under seal of the Board. (c) Subscriptions to publications of the Board. (d) Transcripts of hearings. [OR–27, 33 FR 70, Jan. 4, 1968, as amended by OR–94, 40 FR 7242, Feb. 19, 1975] The fees charged for special services may be paid by check, draft, or postal money order, payable to the Civil Aeronautics Board, except for charges for reporting services which are performed under competitive bid contracts with non-Government firms. Fees for reporting are payable to the firms providing the services. Except for photocopy work, the basic fees set forth below provide for documents to be mailed with ordinary first class postage prepaid. If copy is to be transmitted by registered, certified, air, or special delivery mail, postal fees therefor will be added to the basic fee. Also, if special handling or packaging is required, costs therefor will be added to the basic fee. For photocopy work, postage will be in addition to the fee for copying. Public records and documents on file with the Civil Aeronautics Board will be located and copied upon request and payment of fees as set forth below: (a) There shall be no charge in connection with searches for records or documents under this chapter. (b) Photocopies of records or documents shall be made using the Board's facilities or by contractors. (1) The fee for photocopying will be 15 cents per page. (2) The fee for copying by contractors will be that established in the contracts with the Board and will be billed directly by those contractors. (c) Copies of board data on magnetic tapes, or extractions of data from Board data tapes, will be made by the National Archives and Records Service (NARS) of the General Services Administration or by computer service bureaus. (1) The Director, Bureau of Accounts and Statistics, furnishes many public records and documents contained on magnetic tape to NARS. Initial requests for data should be made directly to the Machine Readable Archives Division, National Archives and Records Services, General Services Administration, Washington, D.C. 20408, with the applicant directly reimbursing NARS for its copying or data extraction charges. When NARS does not have the requested data, the Director, Bureau of Accounts and Statistics, upon written request, will furnish the tapes for a reasonable length of time to a computer service bureau chosen by the applicant subject to the Director's approval. The computer service bureau shall assume the liability for the cost of replacing any tape that may be damaged or destroyed by it. (2) The fee for data copying by NARS will be determined by NARS. (3) The fee for data copying by a computer service bureau shall be established by agreement between the requesting party and the computer service bureau. (d) Where the Board's fee for service requested will exceed $100, the service will not be performed until payment has been received. In such cases, the requester will be notified promptly of the amount of the fee, and the requested service will be performed as expeditiously as practicable following receipt of payment. (e) Applications for waivers or modifications of any fees required to be paid to the Board under this section may be filed in accordance with the following: (1) Each applicant shall set forth briefly and succinctly the relief that it seeks and the reasons why such relief should be granted. Waivers or modifications of stated fees shall be granted only where it is demonstrated that such action is in the public interest because furnishing of the information requested can be considered as primarily benefiting the general public. (2) Applications requesting waivers or modifications of fees under this section shall be addressed to the Managing Director, who has been delegated authority by the Board to decide such applications in §385.12 of this chapter, and shall accompany the request for service under this section. (3) The Managing Director shall either rule on the application or, at his discretion, pass the matter on to the Board for its determination. In acting upon such applications the Managing Director and the Board, where applicable, shall be guided by the procedures and requirements of §310.9(d) of this chapter. (4) A decision by either the Managing Director or the Board pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section is final and will not be subject to petitions for reconsideration.

Copies of tariffs filed with the Board will be certified only when such copies have been made under the Board's supervision upon request of the applicant. Charges for this service are as follows: (a) Certification of the Secretary, $2. This fee includes clerical services involved in checking the authenticity of records to be certified.

Arrangements may be made with the Board's Bureau of International Aviation for furnishing publications to a foreign country or to an international organization on a reciprocal basis. [OR–178, 46 FR 8445, Jan. 27, 1981] Transcripts of testimony and oral argument are furnished to the Board by a non-Government contractor for any proceeding in which the presiding officer has determined that such transcript should be made, and copies thereof may be purchased directly from the reporting firm, at prices and upon other terms and conditions specified in the contract made between the Board and the reporting firm, and currently in effect, pursuant to section 11 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub.
