Mailing lists of Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs (ODVA) active account holders, and Vets News recipients may be made available upon payment of the required fee. The mailing lists will not contain the names of persons who submit a written request for deletion of their name from the list on the basis that such disclosure would constitute an unreasonable invasion of privacy.

(a)

Internal communications of an advisory nature preliminary to any final agency determination of policy or action;

(a)

Information relating to the appraisal of real and personal property prior to making a loan secured by that property;

(b)

The director may require reimbursement for any additional costs actually incurred by the Department;

(c)

For all requests for copies of documents, the charge is based on the actual costs incurred for search of files and for documents provided;

(d)

The fee to be charged for this service will be equal to the hourly pay of the employee designated. In appointing an employee to safeguard Departmental records, the director shall consider whether the pay range of the designated employee is reasonable and appropriate, reflecting the technicality and sensitivity of the documents being researched;

(e)

The director may waive the fees provided in subsections 6(a), 6(c) and 6(d) of this rule for city, county, state, and federal agencies, and for individuals obtaining information from their own files;

The director may require payment of any and all fees identified in this section, in a form satisfactory to the director, prior to providing any disclosure of documents or information. The director may make advance charges for anticipated labor expenses on an estimated basis.
