OAR 603-001-0170
Public Interest Test

In determining whether sufficient public interest for a fee waiver is demonstrated, the department will consider:

(1)

The requester’s identity, public interest affiliation, and contact information;

(2)

The purpose for which the requester intends to use the information;

(3)

The character of the information;

(4)

Whether the requested information is already in the public domain;

(5)

Whether the requester can demonstrate the ability to disseminate the information to the public;

(6)

The requester’s inability to pay, but this fact alone is not a sufficient basis for a fee waiver;

(7)

If the requester seeks technical information, a showing that the requester is able to understand that information and disseminate it to the public in a meaningful form;

(8)

Any other additional information provided by the requester that would be helpful for the department in evaluating the request for a fee waiver or fee reduction. Appendix 1
