Section 329IAC3.1-2-16. Reduction or waiver of fee

   The fee chargeable for an IDEM hazardous waste record shall be reduced or waived by the IDEM if the commissioner determines that a waiver or reduction of the fee is in the public interest because furnishing the information can be considered as primarily benefiting the general public. Reduction or waiver of fees shall be considered (but need not necessarily be granted) in connection with each request from a representative of the press or other communications medium, or from a public interest group. A request for reduction or waiver of fees shall be addressed to the hazardous waste records officer. The commissioner shall initially determine whether the fee shall be reduced or waived and shall so inform the requestor. This initial determination may be appealed by letter addressed to the technical secretary of the SWMB. The SWMB shall decide such appeals.
