FEES FOR PROCESSING RECORD REQUESTS
You may be charged fees for the services that the agency must perform when processing your record
request, including fees for making photocopies and other lawful fees. The first $30 of fees charged
for searching for a record, reviewing, and segregating will not be charged to you. Any amount
over $30 will be charged to you. Fees are as follows:
Search for a Record
$2.50 for 15 minutes
Review and Segregation of a Record
$5.00 for 15 minutes
WAIVER OF FEES IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
Up to $60 of fees for searching for, segregating and reviewing records may be waived when the waiver
would serve the public interest as described in section 2-71-32, Hawaii Administrative Rules. If you
wish to apply for a waiver of fees in the public interest, you must attach to this request a statement of
facts, including your identity as the requester, to show how the waiver of fees would serve the public
interest. The criteria for this waiver, found at section 2-71-32, Hawaii Administrative Rules, are:
(1)
The requested record pertains to the operations or activities of an agency;
(2)
The record is not readily available in the public domain; and
(3)
The requester has the primary intention and the actual ability to widely disseminate
information from the government record to the public at large.
AGENCY RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUEST FOR ACCESS
The agency to which you addressed your request must respond within a set time period. The agency
will normally respond to you within 10 business days from the date it receives your request; however, in
extenuating circumstances the agency must respond within 20 business days from the date of your
request. If you have questions about the response time, you may contact the agency’s UIPA contact
person. If you are not satisfied with the agency’s response, you may call the Office of Information
Practices at 808-586-1400.
REQUESTER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
You have certain responsibilities under §2-71-16, Hawaii Administrative Rules. You may obtain a copy
of these rules from the Lieutenant Governor's Office or from the Office of Information Practices. These
responsibilities include making arrangements to inspect and copy records, providing further clarification
or description of the requested record as instructed by the agency's notice, and making a prepayment
of fees, if assessed.
