Fees
OIP’s administrative rules allow an agency to charge certain
fees. See Haw. Admin. R. § 2-71-19. These rules also allow an
agency to require prepayment of 50% of the agency’s estimated
fees to search for, review, and segregate the requested records,
plus 100% of the agency’s estimate of other lawful fees, such as
copying or mailing costs, as detailed below.
Note that the agency must waive the fi rst $30 in fees for search,
review, and segregation. Alternatively, the agency must waive
the fi rst $60 in fees where the agency fi nds that the requester
has met the requirements under OIP’s administrative rules for
a public interest waiver, as detailed below.
“Allowable fees.” An agency may charge fees as follows:
(1)
Fees for search, review, and segregation of
the record(s), with the fi rst $30 of the total
waived, calculated as follows:
(a)
For search: $2.50 per 15 minutes
or fraction thereof; and
(b)
For review/segregation: $5 per
15 minutes or fraction thereof.
(2)
Any other lawful fees.
“Search” means to look for a government record, including
page-by-page or line-by-line identifi cation of a government
record, manually or by computer using existing retrieval or
programming capabilities.
