(a) Fees payable.
Except as provided in Sec. 219.4, a government authority, or a court
issuing an order or subpoena in connection with grand jury
proceedings, seeking access to financial records pertaining to a
customer shall reimburse the financial institution for reasonably
necessary costs directly incurred in searching for, reproducing or
transporting books, papers, records, or other data as set forth in
this section. The reimbursement schedule for a financial institution
is set forth in Appendix A to this section. If a financial institution
has financial records that are stored at an independent storage
facility that charges a fee to search for, reproduce, or transport
particular records requested, these costs are considered to be
directly incurred by the financial institution and may be included in
the reimbursement.
(b) Search and processing costs. (1) Reimbursement of search
and processing costs shall cover the total amount of personnel time
spent in locating, retrieving, reproducing, and preparing financial
records for shipment. Search and processing costs shall not cover
analysis of material or legal advice.
2) If itemized separately, search and processing costs may
include the actual cost of extracting information stored by computer
in the format in which it is normally produced, based on computer time
and necessary supplies; however, personnel time for computer search
may be paid for only at the rates specified in Appendix A to this
section.
(c) Reproduction costs. The reimbursement rates for
reproduction costs for requested documents are set forth in Appendix A
to this section. Copies of photographs, films, computer tapes, and
other materials not listed in Appendix A to this section are
reimbursed at actual cost.
(d) Transportation costs. Reimbursement for transportation
costs shall be for the reasonably necessary costs directly incurred to
transport personnel to locate and retrieve the requested information,
and to convey such material to the place of examination.
