USER FEES: DOD Fees for Providing Information Not Current and Consistent

Abstract

Section 1085 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 authorized the military department secretaries to (1) charge fees to persons requesting information from the primary military archives and (2) retain collected fees to help defray costs associated with providing the information. The military archives also have authority under the User Charge Statute (31 U.S.C. 9701) and the Freedom of Information Act(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552) to charge for general information provided to the public. A major distinction, however, is that the fees collected under these two provisions are to be deposited with the Department of the Treasury.
