Charging Standard Administrative Fees for Non-Program Information
On August 22, 2012, we announced in the Federal Register a schedule of standard administrative fees we charge to the public for routinely requested records. When authorized, we charge these fees to recover our full costs when we provide information and related services for non-program purposes. We are announcing an update to the previously published schedule of standard administrative fees. The updated standard fee schedule is part of our continued effort to standardize fees for non-program information requests. Standard fees provide consistency and ensure we recover the full cost of supplying information when we receive a request for a purpose not directly related to the administration of a program under the Social Security Act (Act).
