Other Information:
It is the Department's practice to waive fees where (a) the total reproduction costs that could be assessed amounts to less than $25; and (b) the legislative time limits have been exceeded by more than 6 months and the request contains a voluminous number of records. In 2008-2009, fees were waived in 52% of ATI requests completed, amounting to $4.7K waived.

In an effort to reduce the amount of paper copied, applicants can request that certain information be provided to them by electronic means, such as by diskette, CD or email, in order to reduce the amount of fees to be paid. In 2008-2009, 23% of responses to ATI were made by electronic means; an increase of 4% compared to previous fiscal year.
