(3) Other personnel time shall not be recovered for any time spent by an attorney, legal assistant, or any other person who reviews the requested information. (A) To determine whether the governmental body will raise any exceptions to disclosure of the requested information under Subchapter C of the Public Information Act; or (B) To research or prepare a request for a ruling by the attorney general's office pursuant to §552.301 of the Public Information Act. (4) When confidential information is mixed with public information in the same page, personnel time may be recovered for time spent to obliterate, blackout, or otherwise obscure confidential information in order to release the public information. (5) If the charge for providing a copy of public information includes costs of labor, a governmental body shall comply with the requirements of Government Code, Chapter 552, §552.261(b). (e) Overhead charge TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE continued (1) Whenever any personnel charge is applicable to a request, a governmental body may include in the charges direct and indirect costs, in addition to specific personnel charge. This overhead charge would cover costs as depreciation of capital assets, rent, maintenance and repair, utilities, and administrative overhead. If a governmental body chooses to recover such costs, a charge shall be made in accordance with the methodology described in paragraph (3) of this subsection. Although an exact calculation of costs will vary, the use of a standard charge will avoid complication in calculating such costs and will provide uniformity for charges made statewide. (2) An overhead charge shall not be made for requests for copies of 50 pages or fewer of standard paper records. (3) The overhead charge shall be computed at 20% of the charge made to cover any personnel costs associated with a particular request. Example: if one hour of personnel (programming, other personnel or a combination of both) is used for a particular request, the formula would be as follows: $15.00 x .20 = $3.00; or $26 x.20 - $5.20; or $41 x .20 = $8.20. (f) Microfiche and microfilm charge. (1) If a governmental body already has information that exists on microfiche or microfilm and has copies available for sale or distribution, the charge for a copy must not exceed the cost of its reproduction. If no copies of the requested microfiche or microfilm are available and the information on the microfiche or microfilm can be released in its entirety, the governmental body should make a copy of the microfiche or microfilm. The charge for a copy shall not exceed the cost of its reproduction. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has the capacity to reproduce microfiche and microfilm for state agencies. Governmental bodies that do not have in-house capability to reproduce microfiche or microfilm may charge the actual costs of having the reproduction made commercially. (2) If only a master copy of information in microform is maintained, the charge is $.10 per page for standard size paper copies, plus any applicable personnel and overhead charge for more than 50 copies. (g) Remote document retrieval charge. (1) Due to limited on-site capacity of storage of documents, it is frequently necessary to store information that is not in current use in remote storage locations. Every effort should be made by governmental bodies to store current records on-site. State agencies are encouraged to store inactive or non-current records with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. To the extent that the retrieval of documents results in a charge to comply with a request, it is permissible to recover costs of such services. TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE continued (2) If a governmental body has a contract with a special records storage company, whereby the private company charges a fee to locate, retrieve, deliver, and return to storage the needed record(s), no additional personnel charge shall be factored in for time spent in locating documents at the storage location by the private company's personnel. If after delivery to the governmental body, the boxes must still be searched for records that are responsive to the request, a personnel charge is allowed according to subsection (d)(1) of this section. (h) Computer Resource Charge. (1) The computer resource charge is a utilization charge for computers based on the amortized costs of acquisition, lease, operation, and maintenance of computer resources, which might include, but is not limited to, some or all of the following: central processing units (CPUs), servers, disk drives, local area networks (LANs), printers, tape drives, other peripheral devices, communications devices, software, and system utilities. (2) These computer resources are not limited to substitute for cost recovery methodologies or charges made for purposes other than responding to public information requests. (3) The charges in this subsection are averages based on a survey of governmental bodies with a broad range of computer capabilities. Each governmental body using this costs recovery charge shall determine which category(ies) of computer system(s) used to fulfill the public information request most closely fits its existing systems(s), and set its charge accordingly. Type of System — Rate: Mainframe - $10 per minute; Midsize -- $1.50 per minute; Client/Server -- $2.20 per hour, PC or LAN -- $1.00 per hour. (4) The charge made to recover the computer utilization cost is the actual time the computer takes to execute a particular program times the applicable rate. The CPU charge is not meant to apply to programming or printing time; rather, it is solely to recover costs associated with the actual time required by the computer to execute a program. This time, called CPU time, can be read directly from the CPU clock, and most frequently will be a matter of seconds. If programming is required to comply with a particular request, the appropriate charge that may be recovered for programming time is set forth in subsection (d) of this section. No charge should be made for computer print-out time. Example: If a mainframe computer is used, and the processing time is 20 seconds, the charges would be as follows: $1013 = $3.33; or $10160 = $3.33. (5) A governmental body that does not have in-house computer capabilities shall comply with requests in accordance with the Public Information Act, Government Code, Chapter 552, §552.231. (i) Miscellaneous supplies. The actual costs of miscellaneous supplies, such as labels, boxes, and other supplies used to produce the requested information, may be added to the total charge for public information. TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE continued 0) Postal and shipping charges. Governmental bodies may add any related or shipping expenses which are necessary to transmit the produced information to the requesting party. (k) Sales Tax. Sales tax shall not be added on charges for public information. (1) The commission shall reevaluate and update these charges as necessary.
