U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1153. Rules, regulations, and fees
The Secretary is authorized to make, amend, and rescind such
orders, rules, and regulations as he may deem necessary to carry
out the provisions of this chapter, and to establish, from time to
time, a schedule or schedules of reasonable fees or charges for
services performed or for documents or other publications furnished
under this chapter.
It is the policy of this chapter, to the fullest extent feasible
and consistent with the objectives of this chapter, that each of

or self-liquidating and that the general public shall not bear the
cost of publications and other services which are for the special
use and benefit of private groups and individuals; but nothing
herein shall be construed to require the levying of fees or charges
for services performed or publications furnished to any agency or
instrumentality of the Federal Government, or for publications
which are distributed pursuant to reciprocal arrangements for the
exchange of information or which are otherwise issued primarily for
the general benefit of the public.
