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 2009-2010, fees were waived in 62% of ATI requests completed, amounting to $2,830 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 2009-2010, 17% of responses to ATI were made by electronic means; a reduction of 6% compared to previous fiscal year.

The difference between the forecast revenue and the actual revenue is due to a 24% increase in the number of requests received by the Department in 2009-2010.
