information in the same page, a labor charge may be recovered for time spent to redact, blackout, or
otherwise obscure confidential information in order to release the public information. A labor charge
shall not be made for redacting confidential information for requests of 50 or fewer pages, unless the
request also qualifies for a labor charge pursuant to Texas Government Code, §552.261(a)(I) or (2).
5) If the charge for providing a copy of public information includes costs of labor, a governmental
body shall comply with the requirements of Texas Government Code, Chapter 552, §552.261(b).
6) For purposes of paragraph (2)(A) of this subsection, two buildings connected by a covered or
open
sidewalk, an elevated or underground passageway, or a similar facility, are not considered to be

Texas Administrative Code
1) Whenever any labor charge is applicable to a request, a governmental body may include in the
charges direct and indirect costs, in addition to the specific labor charge. This overhead charge would
cover such costs as depreciation of capital assets, rent, maintenance and repair, utilities, and
administrative overhead. If a governmental body chooses to recover such costs, a charge shall be
made in accordance with the methodology described in paragraph (3) of this subsection. Although an
exact calculation of costs will vary, the use of a standard charge will avoid complication in
calculating such costs and ",:ill provide uniformity for charges made statewide.
2) An overhead charge shall not be made for requests for copies of 50 or fewer pages of standard
paper records unless the request also qualifies for a labor charge pursuant to Texas Government
Code,§552.261 (a)(1) or (2).
3) The overhead charge shall be computed at 20% of the charge made to cover any labor costs
associated with a particular request. Example: if one hour of labor is used for a particular request, the
formula would be as follows: Labor charge for locating, compiling, and reproducing, $15.00 x.20 =
3.00; or Programming labor charge, $28.50 x .20 = $5.70. If a request requires one hour of labor
charge for locating, compiling, and reproducing information ($15.00 per hour); and one hour of
programming labor charge ($28.50 per hour), the combined overhead would be: $15.00 + $28.50 =
43.50 x .20 = $8.70.
f) Microfiche and microfilm charge.
1) If a governmental body already has information that exists on microfiche or microfilm and has
copies available for sale or distribution, the charge for a copy must not exceed the cost of its
reproduction. If no copies of the requested microfiche or microfilm are available and the information
on the microfiche or microfilm can be released in its entirety, the governmental body should make a
copy of the microfiche or microfilm. The charge for a copy shall not exceed the cost of its
reproduction. The Texas State Library and Archives Commission has the capacity to reproduce
microfiche and microfilm for governmental bodies. Governmental bodies that do not have in-house
capability to reproduce microfiche or microfilm are encouraged to contact the Texas State Library
before having the reproduction made commercially.
2) If only a master copy of information in microfilm is maintained, the charge is $.10 per page for
standard size paper copies, plus any applicable labor and overhead charge for more than 50 copies.
g) Remote document retrieval charge.
1) Due to limited on-site capacity of storage documents, it is frequently necessary to store
information that is not in current use in remote storage locations. Every effort should be made by
governmental bodies to store current records on-site. State agencies are encouraged to store inactive
or non-current records with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. To the extent that the
retrieval of documents results in a charge to comply with a request, it is permissible to recover costs
of such services for requests that qualify for labor charges under current law.
2) If a governmental body has a contract with a commercial records storage company, whereby the
private company charges a fee to locate, retrieve, deliver, and return to storage the needed record(s),
no additional labor charge shall be factored in for time spent locating documents at the storage
location by the private company's personnel. If after delivery to the governmental body, the boxes
must still be searched for records that are responsive to the request, a labor charge is allowed
according to subsection (d)(1) of this section.

h) Computer resource charge.
1) The computer resource charge is a utilization charge for computers based on the amortized cost of
acquisition, lease, operation, and maintenance of computer resources, which might include, but is not
limited to, some or all of the following: central processing units (CPUs), servers, disk drives, local
area networks (LANs), printers, tape drives, other peripheral devices, communications devices,
software, and system utilities.
2) These computer resource charges are not intended to substitute for cost recovery methodologies
or charges made for purposes other than responding to public information requests.
3) The charges in this subsection are averages based on a survey of governmental bodies with a
broad range of computer capabilities. Each governmental body using this cost recovery charge shall
determine which category(ies) of computer system(s) used to fulfill the public information request
most closely fits its existing system(s), and set its charge accordingly. Type of System --Rate:
mainframe-$ 0 per CPU minute; Midsize --$1.50 per CPU minute; Client/Server--$2.20 per clock
hour; PC or LAN --$1.00 per clock hour.
4) The charge made to recover the computer utilization cost is the actual time the computer takes to
execute a particular program times the applicable rate. The CPU charge is not meant to apply to
prograIIUr\ing or printing time; rather it is solely to recover costs associated with the actual time
required by the computer to execute a program. This time, called CPU time, can be read directly
from the CPU clock, and most frequently will be a matter of seconds. If programming is required to
comply with a particular request, the appropriate charge that may be recovered for programming time
is set forth in subsection (d) of this section. No charge should be made for computer print-out time.
Example:
If a mainframe computer is used, and the processing time is 20 seconds, the charges would be as
follows: $10 / 3 = $3.33; or $10 / 60 x 20 = $3.33.
5) A governmental body that does not have in-house computer capabilities shall comply with
requests in accordance with the §552.231 of the Texas Government Code.
i) Miscellaneous supplies. The actual cost of miscellaneous supplies, such as labels, boxes, and other
supplies used to produce the requested information, may be added to the total charge for public
information.
j) Postal and shipping charges. Governmental bodies may add any related postal or shipping
expenses which are necessary to transmit the reproduced information to the requesting party.
k) Sales tax. Pursuant to Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts' rules sales tax shall not be
added on charges for public information (34 TAC, Part 1, Chapter 3, Subchapter 0, §3.341 and
3.342).
1) Miscellaneous charges: A governmental body that accepts payment by credit card for copies of
public information and that is charged a "transaction fee" by the credit card company may recover
that fee.
m) These charges are subject to periodic reevaluation and update.
